Hi,

Using Newspaper 4.4, great theme just working through some final issues.

Is there any way to hide the optional manual post excerpts being shown under the modules, in theme panel excerpts are set to words and module 2 / tds_mod2_content_excerpt is set to 1 (I tried putting Content Length 0 but it simply does not save anything then for the length of excerpt on save settings)

Even though it is set to 1, the optional manual excerpt in the post seems to be shown in full if one is present in any post.

Can you let me know if this is a bug or whether there is an easier way to stop the manual excerpts being displayed without commenting out the relevant lines in the modules themselves which I’m assuming for module 2 is:

<?php echo $this->get_excerpt(td_util::get_option(‘tds_mod2_content_excerpt’)); ?>

Many thanks

Craig

Hi,

You can make this changes to the td_module.php file: http://screencast.com/t/nglNYUYbyYG
Or replace the whole condition with this:

if ($this->post->post_excerpt != '') {
            echo '<div class="custom-class">';
            return $this->post->post_excerpt;
            echo '</div>';
        }

Then use css to hide the excerpt on pages you don’t want it: http://screencast.com/t/JXdfFoge4a

.category .custom-class {
display: none;
}

Hope this helps!

Thanks
