Is there an "excerpt" for a recipe?

The plugin is actually creating excerpts for recipes at least if you call them by get_the_excerpt(). I’m not sure how the excerpt field in the post list is generated. I will try to loook into this on thze weekend.

I looked at the records in the db and if I add text within the wp_posts table in the post_content field/column that will pull it into the slide. Unfortunately the user of the site won’t be able to do this. So maybe there is a way to add the fields to the recipe editing page?

This should be possible even without adding an extra field. We could save the text from the description field to post_content as well. However I won’t have time to do this soon.

In the next weeks I will try to release version 0.6 of the plugin. I can include this new feature in version 0.7.

If you like I can give you some alpha code for testing. You can also try to do this yourself and I will happily include your code. Look at php/class/rpr_core.php and edit the function recipes_save().

Alpha code would be great!

Here is what we did: https://gist.github.com/stnkris/58601609a899eb7f9fc3

Do you see any issues with this?

That looks good. However I won’t find time to eveluate the code until the weekend.

Work is in progress to include proper excerpts: https://github.com/dasmaeh/recipepress-reloaded/tree/excerpts
