Send full posts?

Whoops, I just found this thread.

Well that′s an old thread. There is now filter and hooks built in so you don′t need to hack the plugin on every new version for that kind of customizing.

I recommend you to use the filter and hooks described on this page.

And for those of us who aren’t fully competent in code.

I can see the line I want to use to get the full posts sent out, but where do I put that line?

In my Themes functions.php file? (tried that, didn’t work).
Do I add it to the plugin code? What happens when you update, that’ll be overwritten surely?

Or is this going to be a checkbox in the admin screen in the future?

Hi gordnmclean,

It’s been two months but you or someone else may need the code for this. This worked for us:

// Force Subscribe to Category Plugin to email full post
function stc_message_length_sum_of_words(){
    return -1;
}
add_filter( 'stc_message_length_sum_of_words', 'stc_message_length_sum_of_words', 10, 1 ); //set return value to a negative number to show the full content

Hope it helps.

How about use the post excerpt text as the email body content instead? I’d like to know how to get this feature to work. I think it would be much neater than limiting the word count of the content or posting the full article in an email.

Right now I am going to have a shot at hacking the plugin to use the excerpt instead. I can’t see that option in the available filters and hooks (which I presume a developer would add to their functions.php file.
