Ginji,

Let me clarify. When I say manually breaking, I did not mean that it could be done in stock WordPress. What I mean to say is that they have some custom filter they have developed for their blog (plugin or directly onto their theme) that requires manual picking where to break and what pics to show on the main page.

It is not difficult to write such a custom filter but require programming knowledge.

Ginji,

Are you refering to: Random Curiosity

That is a very specific need to maybe a small group of bloggers. I don’t think Post Teaser can progress into that anytime soon.

Also, I do not believe the summarizer on that site does auto summarize. The whole idea of Post Teaser is to be able to tease without the need to specify where to cut-off. If what I think is correct that post on Random Curiosity need manual break and select which photos to show on main page that would mean it is the total opposite with what Post Teaser is design to do.

I don’t believe I will shut out this idea but for now, it’s not going to happen in the near future.

audeojude,

Stock k2 or modified?

Ginji,

Post Teaser is designed to summarize readable text and it makes little sense for most users to count tags as part of the readable text. However, img tags are counted for the summery. I do think there may be of value to add other means to break a post. I am considering adding more features but it may not be a few more release before I could make a major upgrade to the plugin.

corrado,

I don’t understand what you are trying to suggest.

Hi santosj,

I understand what you are saying but the code I’ve included in my initial post is not mine. The code belongs to WordPress in plugin.php.

The only code I’ve included that belongs to Post Teaser is:

add_filter('the_content', array(&$post_teaser, 'process'));

Hope that clears up the confusion.

Anyway, I’ve decided and have made changes to Post Teaser to work with WP 2.2.x. What I did was to add a wrapper function that would call the member function of the post-teaser class. The change seems to work fine in WP 2.2.x and have since been released. However, I’m not sure that is the best thing to do.

Hi 10000birds,

Sorry, I should have been clearer in my response as well. I did not expect that the new version to fix your problem because the fix was for a problem that only affect WP 2.2.x onwards. I was just merely suggesting that you follow the new official Post Teaser page for future news and upgrades.

I thought you meant the whole post entry when you say “Post-teaser wraps each entry in its own div block.” I did not realize that you are talking about the Post Teaser added text. Sorry.

As a simple experiment, I’ve save your home page and all the files statically on my desktop. I remove the div around post teaser text. Next load the modified page in the browser. The result is still the same.

So the logical conclusion is that post teaser removed something in your post entry that allows the side bar to go to the top.

The best way to figure out what is wrong is to follow the steps below (I would love to carry this out but I these steps requires admin to your site). I also suggest using a browser other then IE for the following.

1. Save a copy of your homepage as I did (use “file|save” from your browser). Remember to save all files rather then just the html file.
2. Disable Post Teaser.
3. Refresh your homepage and save another copy as you did in step #1.
4. Start removing elements that is not in the first copy of your homepage (from step #1) from your second copy (from step #3). Remove the elements one by one. Each time save and refresh your browser.
5. When you remove an item that causes the sidebar to be push down, that will give you the clue of what to fix.

Hope that helps.

10000birds,

Post Teaser does not wraps anything into anything. All it does is to remove text over a certain threshold. As far as I can tell Post Teaser is working properly on your site.

There is an upgrade and a new maintainer (That’s me) for Post Teaser. You might want to check out the new Post Teaser page here on www.ads-software.com. I’m still trying to get control on the old wiki site so that I can point people to new versions.

whooami,

I never said it was a support issue for a plugin. I said support issue for “plugin developer”.

For some reason, that logic that it is a web site issue escapes me. Not to say you are wrong but it never occurs to me in that way.

I would think that if I click on a link and I get a 404, than it seem reasonable to be a website issue. But, issue with the claiming ownership for a plugin? Seems like gray area in either side of the argument.

Maybe my logic is screwed…

Thanks anyway. I’ll give your suggestion a try. If I still hit a wall, I’ll come back here and bitch about it…

whooami,

Yes! No plugin developer support! I still can’t get someone to tell me how I could claim the Post Teaser plugin that I’ve taken over maintainance.

There is a serious problem.

moshu,

Quite obviously this was moved over from the old wiki.

I can give it a new name but there is no way I can make a note in the original because the original developer Jon have lost his access to the plugin wiki even before extend exist. I believe.

He said he can vouch for me if I can get the admin’s attention but who is maintaining that repos?

I can’t believe how difficult to find any contact info for any admins.

HandySolo,

Nope, that didn’t work. When I try to signup I get:

A plugin by that name already exists.

Does anyone know how I can sort this out?

HandySolo,

Yes I think that’s a good idea. However, I may still need to point people over for newer version. Any pointers?

Hi,

I’ve taken over development of Post Teaser from Jon and the good news is that I’ve also manage to fix the compatibility issue with WordPress 2.2.x.

Hi guys,

I have found a workaround. However, if you have a blog that has a lot of post and you use the <!–more–> tag a lot; I would not suggest doing this.

What I’ve done on my site is that I removed all the <!–more–> tags in all my post and Post Teaser worked as before. Just that now I can not change where it auto breaks the post.

This is by no means a solution but just a workaround until a real solution comes around.

daviding,

Sure thing and here it is
