Textpattern Plug-in: Truncate Article Excerpt

Textpattern Plug-in to truncate the Article Excerpt

I missed the possibility to truncate the Article Excerpt to a given number of words, with the CMS textpattern. So, I made myself a simple Plug-in to add this missing Feature.

Textpattern Tag

<txp:fly_excerpt truncate="10" more="..." link="0" class="green-link" />

Attributes

The Plug-in Tag accepts 4 attributes:

• truncate - How many words should be truncated. Default value: 10
• more - Link text string. Default value: ...
• link - Show "more" string as HTML link. Values 0 (no) or 1 (yes). Default value: 0
• class - Optional HTML Class name for more link

Download

A Repository can be found on github - github.com/brachycera/fly_excerpt. The plug-in is released under the MIT License.
