Excerpt of Blogposts

[ragnar76]

Hi again,

imho, a good feature would be to have excerpt of blogposts. just display the first 50 letters with a "read more" button.

Hi,

It can be done with an addon (to do).

Or, you can play with {article_chapo} ( = the "abstract" in edit page).
For this solution, you will need to do some things :

• modify in your template article.html and change {article_contenu} by {article_chapo}
• (optional) modify in your template post.html and change {article_contenu} by {article_chapo}{article_contenu}

Please note :

• the fact that abstract can be used by the HTML meta description
• we don't recommand using BBcode, HTML in "abstract"

Right now it's the only solution (from what I see). If you need a plugin, I can make a quick one in the next days.

i think an addon for everyone would be better. no hurry on that, using {article_chapo} is double work, imho, but a good workaround for that so far (maybe until v4)

I wrote a small addon to do so. It will show excerpt only on main page of the blog. Options are :

• Label for the link "read more"
• Length of the excerpt.
