Excerpt don't work with Customizr theme

Hi Alex,

I just tested it in Customizr 3.3.23 and had no problems. What version are you using?

If you right-click the testimonial content and select “Inspect Element” you will see a line above nearby like

<div class="testimonial truncated ...

when using the length attribute, and

<div class="testimonial excerpt ...

when using the excerpt attribute.

Which do you see?

Firstly – sorry, it’s my fault – I used the modified file testimonials.php in theme folder.
But the question remains open – how to modify this file after a manner that would be on the same page can be displayed only an excerpt, but on the other – the full content?
Probably should be something like:

<?php
	if ( $excerpt ) : // excerpt overrides length
	$show_content = $post->post_excerpt;
	    elseif( $length ) : // truncated
 	$show_content = wpmtst_truncate( $post->post_content, $length );
	    else : // entire
	$show_content = wpautop( $post->post_content );
		endif;
	echo do_shortcode( $show_content );
?>

but when I use this code (from the default template), then the content is not displayed.

Use code from /strong-testimonials/templates/theme/testimonials.php instead.

In that template file you can use the standard WordPress functions

<?php the_content(); ?>

for the full content, or

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>

for the excerpt. Or you can truncate the content using

<?php wpmtst_field( 'truncated', array( 'char_limit' => 100 ) ); ?>

That is a template for a single block of testimonials. You can create multiple templates like “testimonials-full-content.php” and “testimonials-excerpt.php”. Then attach the template to the shortcode like this:

[strong template="full-content"]

or

[strong template="excerpt"]

Thanks a lot for the help!
With templates all turned out well!
Let me add – to “hard” does not limit the number of characters in the template directly, instead of numbers (in your case, “100”) is better specify ‘$length’, and in the shortcode to specify ‘length=”50″‘.
For example, replace
<?php wpmtst_field( 'truncated', array( 'char_limit' => 100 ) ); ?>
on
<?php wpmtst_field( 'truncated', array( 'char_limit' => $length ) ); ?>

Cool, I’m glad that worked.

And thanks for the tip. Hardcoding will override “length”. So use either

[strong ...]
<?php wpmtst_field( 'truncated', array( 'char_limit' => 100 ) ); ?>

or

[strong length="50" ...]
<?php wpmtst_field( 'truncated', array( 'char_limit' => $length ) ); ?>
