Plugin: tag_limit

That’s cool. What would also be useful would be the ability to take everything but the first paragraph. You could then insert content between the two.

Indeed that would be kinda cool, one way you could do it is just give the first paragraph in your entry a class/id different to that of the 2nd/3rd/4th paragraph etc. Or use custom fields in your blog 😊

1.2

• With need for dragging out single tags like img, comments, etc i have gone and updated this plugin.

As always please test and mail me bugs.

1.3

• Updated the plugin to make it a bit leaner, and cleaner. Also rewritten the first post to explain some the new added functionality.

1.3.1

• Fixed a bug with ‘show_tags’ set to ‘on’ that was letting the plugin return all tagdata rather than suitable matches

• Added ‘offset’ parameter to allow results starting beyond the first match.

Hi Daniel,

Just came across this plugin from seeing another post somewhere on the forums here and I think I must be having a senior moment or something as I have been trying to rack my brain to think of ways to use this.

Do you think you could possibly give me a couple of examples where you could think of using this? I think my brain must have gone into overload over the holiday season or something! 😉

Hope you had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Best wishes,

Say you wanted to take the first paragraph from a content field to use as a summary, rather than having a separate summary custom field. Maybe you want to inset google adwords after the first couple of paragraphs. Say you had a custom field which you insert images into, but want to ensure only one image is displayed on your template? I could go on but I won’t. I had a need (which I cannot remember) and this filled the niche.

Fantastic. The ideas (and my brain!) are now flowing! 😉

Thanks for getting my noggin’ going on this one!!

Best wishes,

Mark

Is there any way to do this sort of thing?

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="default_site" url_title="testing_tag_limit_plugin" limit="1" disable="member_data|trackbacks|pagination|categories|category_fields"}
<h1>{title}</h1>

{exp:tag_limit tag="p" num="10" class="test"}
{body}
{/exp:tag_limit}

{/exp:weblog:entries}

Say I have this as the entry contents :

Test paragraph 1
Test paragraph 2
Test paragraph 3
Test paragraph 4
Test paragraph 5
Test paragraph 6
Test paragraph 7
Test paragraph 8
Test paragraph 9
Test paragraph 10

How would you (without knowing the amount of p tags with the test class) set the plugin parameters to return all the p tags with the test class. In the example above there are 4 p tags with the test class but how would you let the plugin dynamically know to return all of them instead of having to program the num=”4” parameter?

I’m probably just missing something somewhere I guess?

Best wishes,

Mark

Hey Mark

The simplest would probably be to put in a value for num that’s pretty unreal to reach, something like:

{exp:tag_limit tag="p" class="test" num="999"}

I suppose. The probability that you’ll have more than 999 paragraphs with the class test is rather small I’d say.

Hiya,

Yep that’s what I did in the end. Just thought that perhaps if you didn’t supply the num=”“ parameter or if it were blank then might be nice if the plugin just went and output all of them but yep as you say 999 should do it 😉

Thanks again.

Best wishes,

Mark

This was perfect for displaying the first bit of recent comments on a sidebar without having to deal with their formatting– thanks!

Is it possible to remove an image if there is one in text?

thanks

Useful plugin! Thanks!

Quick question: is there a way to keep multiple tags (if I want to keep p, ol, ul tags, for example)?
