short.ShortStory

[FI-DD]

Truncates the short story of an article to a given number of characters.



For example:



"This is my short story" becomes "This is my short sto..."

FI-DD could you customize this download so custom quick tags are supported in it?

[FI-DD]

Sorry, I didn't get it.



What do you mean exactly?

[Ramon]

Well when I use the Short story tag in my template, it doesn't transfer the custom quick tags to working html

[FI-DD]

Fixed.

[Ramon]

Thanks



I finally managed to complete my site now

Hi Fi-DD



now the short story is even counting the numbers of <img src={images}/lsadjfas;l.jpg width="" height="" />, can we exclude the images from the count.

[Ramon]

if you make a custom tag like [ img ] [/ img ] it will work

[itzzmesur]

Hello Ramon , Please make it more clear on using short tag (there might be some links),

(and also FI-DD can't we update the plugin to address this kind of problem)



and also i've used two plugins (shortstroy and short title) and when i activate both,

the images does not get displayed, it directly shows the name of image....



to confirm i checked the HTML source for the problem and it's displaying {image}, i hope its not mapping to the actual url.

Thanks for this plugin, I just installed it working just fine.
The only problem I relised is the last letter before (...) shows in a strange way, like this �
How to fix that?
I'm using UTF-8 om my pages.

Is there any way to modify the script that makes shorter the full-story instead the shor-story?

Thanks!

See ya!

[FI-DD]

You can create your own plugin by copying the existing plugin. Then replace every $row['short'] with $row['full'].

Thanks man! You rock!

One another thing: I have some troubles with this plugin and W3C Validation, because when a paragraph get cutted by the plugin, it lacks of the </p> at the end.

How can I add a </p> after the (...)

Thanks!

[FI-DD]

In the plugin change this:

Code: Select all

'...'

to this:

Code: Select all

'...</p>'

[ClickyMouse]

Thanks! It worked perfectly!

If you allow me, I could "re"make the plugin, to make short the fullstory (the advantadge of this, is that you only have to write one story, the full one, and then it gets "shriked" by the plugin) and post it here.

Of course, your name will be on it.

Cheers!
