I’m looking for a plugin for wordpress plugin and haven’t been able to find one, so I’m hoping one of my readers might know of one. I’m looking for a plugin that adds the excerpt to the contents of a full feed that’s already being published.

Why would I want that? If i put an image and short pargraph I can already get it to display on the page using the_excerpt_reloaded plugin. This give me control on the page to display adsense or any kind of advertising in the post exactly where I want, then follow it up with the rest of the post on the page. However the image or any text doesn’t make it to feed which is kind of a bummer. I could overcome this with some advertising plugin’s but they are flaky and I like to control the “inserted ads” via my own PHP based logic anyways. So anybody know of anything please drop something in the comments, TY.

Hmm don’t know if I know exactly what you mean… If I would, I could whip something up…

Don’t know the answer, but can you tell me how you’re getting your related posts to show up in the feed?

Are you using
http://cavemonkey50.com/code/full-feed/

Without it you will see different behaviour for your excerpts in feeds.

Then I also use the beta version of
http://www.laptoptips.ca/projects/wordpress-excerpt-editor/

That saves a lot of time in creating custom excerpts.

The one you are using is a little old hat

Then again his add_link_attribute is almost certainly a “golden oldy” that very few people exploit.

hmm guess I took the long way trying to explain this. All I want to do is add the excerpt to the full feed I am already publishing.

Joost de Valk September 23, 2007 at 2:44 pm

So you want the excerpt first, and then the full article? in your feed?

Michael Gray September 23, 2007 at 3:17 pm

exactly I took the long way around and just confused the issue

Good job. Go on! :)

Looking at it that is probably 2 lines of PHP in wp-includes/feed-rss2.php, and not as easily done in a plugin.

on line 39 there, add the_excerpt_rss() in front of the_content(), and you’re done I think.

Mark, you are on blogspot so it is almost a lost cause… as is blogspot.

The best you can do is something like Grazr or Springwidgets
