Hey Ben,
thanks for your reply. Well, in the meantime I’ve hacked it together – bit sloppy but deadline’s looming ??
This is how I gat the data I need:
$psts = query_posts('author='.$user->user_id); // get the authors posts
$teasr = strip_tags ( $psts[0]->post_content ); // content wo tags
$titl = strip_tags ( $psts[0]->post_title); // same w titles
$startPos=0; // just want a short teaser
$maxLength=75; // so truncate content at whitespace...
if(strlen($teasr) > $maxLength) {
$excerpt = substr($teasr, $startPos, $maxLength-3);
$lastSpace = strrpos($excerpt, ' ');
$excerpt = substr($excerpt, 0, $lastSpace);
$excerpt .= '...';
} else {
$excerpt = $teasr;
}
$auth_link = $psts[0]->guid; // link to post
This is how I parse it out:
// the continue reading link
$readon = '';
$readon .= '<a class="auth_continue" href="'. $auth_link .'">';
$readon .= '...weiterlesen';
$readon .= '</a>';
if ($biography) $html .= '<div class="biography">'. $titl .'</div><div class="bio_text">'. $excerpt .'</div>'. $readon .'<div style="clear:both;"></div>';
And yes, this all goes into lib/Userlist.class.php at around line 265.
Hope this helps anybody trying to do the same thing!
