Teaser vs. feature output

    Hi Bill,

    Sorry for asking what is probably something obvious. But my eyes are about to pop out from searching through tons of code snippets, and I just can’t seem to pinpoint what I need.

    I would like to show gallery-like excerpts on all grid loop teasers (much like your Gallery theme). If I change Genesis settings to excerpt then even my “features” on the home page show excerpts, and if I leave it to show full posts then even my grid-loop teasers show full posts.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Even just a push in the direction I should dig further would be awesome.

    Great question. The way I’d do it is unhook the genesis content function, then create a new function that checks the post’s size before displaying content.

    Here’s a code snippet: https://www.billerickson.net/code/genesis-grid-change-length-of-content-in-grid/

    I haven’t tested this, so let me know if it works.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond!

    Looks like I’m in way over my head. I’m far from being PHP proficient, so I studied your code snippet and pasted it into my functions.php in its entirety, thinking I could then tweak it until I get something I need. Unfortunately though it is giving me the “unexpected T_VARIABLE” error (in the original version), and I’m utterly clueless…

    I did take out the code snippet and the error disappeared, but I can’t tell what may be wrong with it.

    I’m hesitant to ask for any more of your time, but with a deadline breathing down my neck I’m desperate.

    Thanks!

    It looks like I had forgotten a ) on line 12. I’ve updated the code and tested to confirm it works: https://gist.github.com/4179753
