Recent Posts Hack: Possible To Add Snippet As Well

  • I’m using the recent posts hack, and it seems to work well. But, I’m wondering if there’s any way to customize it a little more to show the snippet from the post?
    This would be a great help.
    Thanks,

    Anyone?

    I’ve no idea what you’re talking about…

    uhm, you just need to add a few things.
    where you have the query SELECT ID, post_title add , post_excerpt before “FROM”, and then replace the “output line with $output .= $before . '' . $post_title . ''. $post->post_excerpt . $after;

    Thank you, that was perfect. Now, is there any way to draw this information from the get_excerpt? Or, is it possible to make the excerpt in the admin automatically fill with the first x number of words from the writing?
