Plugin: Excerpt

Hi Daniel

great idea but can’t get it to work. The code:

{exp:search:search_results} 
<a href="http://{auto_path}">{title}</a><br>
{exp:zm_excerpt output_wrap="p"}{full_text}{/exp:zm_excerpt}
{/exp:search:search_results}

doesn’t create a result other than a link list, no formated full text.

Am I missing something? I have installed the php file in plugins. what else?

EE version 1.6.8

mnay thanks

This is a great plugin!

I’ve found a small issue, but relevant on a site that will have search terms derived of the chunk_wrap parameter.

For example, a search for “spa” results in the following source html:

<<strong>spa</strong>n>pre-fab shower stall for a walk-in one fit for a <strong>spa</strong>. And, the 1970s called and they want their vanity... </<strong>spa</strong>n><<strong>spa</strong>n>Sheryl Doyle. “Homeowners are desiring a <strong>spa</strong>-like feel. Rain shower heads, body sprayers,... </<strong>spa</strong>n><<strong>spa</strong>n>“We replaced the standard tub with a <strong>spa</strong> tub and shower combo with shower body sprays and... </<strong>spa</strong>n>

It would appear that Excerpt finds the “spa” in “span” and hilites it dutifully, though this is not the desired effect. Presumably, “span” or “pan” would be an issue too.

Which version of the plugin are you using? Reason I ask is because the latest (1.03) should remove any html from the subject text.

Nevermind, ignore my response above.

I would recommend that anyone using a previous version of this plugin update to the latest version.
