WordPress and Summary

SortLinks · 2005-10-07, 03:58 PM

does anyone know how to post articles with summary so they will be on !main page "summarised"
My pages weight 100k and more with 10 stories on it...
in options-> reading there is only fields for syndication with it turned on I could only see post in categories summarised "[..]" but not on main page..
should I cut it myself in main template before output on main page?

Sortlinks, I think the setting you want is in Options - Reading.

But I could be wrong, I like to use full text for my articles, so I haven't actually tried it.

I know Bill..that what Ive tried first..
Finaly..upon my 20 min looking into php codes Ive font 2 ways to do it..
1) If you put  in the post while writing it - it goes (more...) after publish
(use 'more' button)
2) if you need [...] on ALL already published posts on index (like in categories) you should replace the_content() in index.php template to the_excerpt() the you will see [...] after some ammount of lines...
still digging to see why the hell default the_content('Read the rest of this entry »') dont work in my index template...

these guys from wordpress 've done good job hidding usefull info

I bet many dont know of it

3) You can use "Post Teaser" plugin http://dev.wp-plugins.org/wiki/PostTeaser Basically it automatically puts in a --more---

Works well with "Less" http://www.thunderguy.com/semicolon/...rdpress-plugin.
