Idea: End except at point .

    I use the except a lot – the problem: in the most cases the lenght is different.. for the most layouts it would be super useful to say except words=”60″ and and the except at character – point (.)

    The result, that the except ends automatic individual, at 56 words, 52 words, etc by getting the (.) to end it would give the possibility to create super clean layouts in diffent cases.

    Is something like this possible? i can imagine its quiet complicated : / but it would be a nice function ^_^

    best regards

    Hello,

    Thanks for the suggestion. I included it in the newest plugin update:

    [content words="60" sentence="true"]

    That should get an excerpt of 60 words max, then trim it to the last sentence/period.

    thank you for the fast answer and update! : )

    but its actually not working for me.. : /

    [loop type=”post” class=”post-list group” category=”artikel” order=”DESC” count=”4″ columns=”2″ margin-left=”10px” pad=”10px 15px 15px 15px”]
    <div class=”row”>
    <div>

    [content field=”thumbnail-link” class=”post-item-thumbnail” class=”attachment-thumb-medium wp-post-image” alt=”abu-ghraib-leash” height=”245″ width=”520″]

    </div>
    <div class=”post-title”>[field title-link class=”post-title2″ font-size: “18px”;]</div>
    <div>
    [content field=”excerpt” words=”60″ sentence=”true” align=”justify” class=”entry2″]
    </div>
    </div>
    [/loop]

    Could you try it without field=”excerpt”? I’ll look into it further to see if I can make it work for excerpt field.

    i allready tried “except” – actually i didnt checkt it, but in your update-discription it seens like the other way arround ^^*

    what i imagined is something like..

    except=”10″ …. This is a example to show the function. [Its should be trimmed at “8” words in this case]

    OK, I made another update. I found that it was looking for “sentences” not “sentence” – so I fixed it. Also, I separated it from the words parameter so it can work independently.

    So the following should trim by 60 words, then trim to last sentence:

    [content field="excerpt" words="60" sentence="true"]
