Hi i made excerpt work with a little work around i guess… dont have much php skills but it works for me annyway ??
I use version 1.5 of Customizable Post Listing, so the lines are a bit different than 1.1… and i dont know/remember were i found 1.5, with a little googling you might find it.
Here is how i did annyway…
Starting at line 292:
$new = apply_filters(’the_excerpt’, get_the_excerpt());
break;
case ‘%post_excerpt_short%’:
$new = ltrim(strip_tags(apply_filters(’the_excerpt’, get_the_excerpt())));
Change to:
$new = apply_filters(’the_excerpt’, (empty($post->post_excerpt)) ? $post->post_content : $post->post_excerpt);
break;
case ‘%post_excerpt_short%’:
$new = ltrim(strip_tags(apply_filters(’the_excerpt’, (empty($post->post_excerpt)) ? $post->post_content : $post->post_excerpt)));
