Friends,
I need to adjust the length of the excerpts overwrited by the post field box so that it also follows the excerpt setting of the theme panel.
How could I do this by the theme code?
Thank you.
Hello fabinhoalmeida,
If you want to change the length of your post excerpt, you can do it from Theme panel->Excerpts section, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/WkorzZA3b Notice that the function which makes this feature is called get_excerpt and it could be found in td_module.php core file, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/o4nH5ImxEAg
Thanks for your understanding!
Hello Catalin,
First, I want to thank you for your attention.
I understand that this can be settable by the theme panel, but I see that the option has no effect when the exerpt text is manually placed in the exerpt field in the post edit.
Could you give me a hint on how I could adjust the length of the excerpt also when the text is done in the post field via the get_excerpt code from the td_module.php file? This code for length limit could be applied to function according to the panel of the theme or even defined directly in the file td_module.php, even then it would help me.
This guidance will greatly contribute to my site!
Thank you very much!
Hello fabinhoalmeida,
If you want to create a condition for module 16 (for example) excerpt length only for category page, you can add it like this – http://screencast.com/t/IxPxKkZmukH
<?php
if (is_category ()) {
echo $this->get_excerpt(2);
}
else{
echo $this->get_excerpt();
}
?>
Result
– category – http://screencast.com/t/pHZCBvJkG4HX
– Another template where module 16 is used – http://screencast.com/t/RGKvlVlYAhxE
Thanks!
