Excerpts on sliders – module mapping ?!?

I am setting excerpts (type letters)
and most settings work well only I don’t understand from the color coding what is the mapping between slides (which also have titles) and the modules.

(Basically – there is no mapping I suppose… – none seem to affect them and the title is VERY short!)

Is there a work around or am I missing something ?

hi,
the blocks display one or more module (each module is a post).

also the slide is a module and is display in the slide block but is a little different because the slide html code has to wrapp the post html code.

Thanks for you message.

I am sorry but I did not understand from your answer how I should update the excerpts for the sliders.

as I said I am in letters mode and it seems like all the sliders (and also in the breadcrumbs) default excerpt is 15 letters and there is not place to change that as far as I can tell.

take a look at my site and you’ll immediately see how the post headlines are cut very short: http://www.virtualida.com/

so… I need a more specific answer on how to change that (hope I need to touch as little code as possible – if this is an upcoming fix please let me know when it’s due)

Thanks!

Hope to this see this value (and the chars per line value!)
in the panel @ next version! 🙂

4.2 fix for slider didn’t seem to do the job (for letters type)

Yea…

I didn’t know what was fixed and what was not so I just did the same for both (td_module_slide.php & td_module_slide_big.php).

Also, if you are doing this – I found that I need to change the other parameter as well (chars per line also) to make it look nice – particularly when working with type “letters” so you may want to add this option the panel… (for both slide types).
