Topic: donotprint and the_excerpt

[sonoma]

The donotprint shortcode seems to be affecting the_excerpt. We want to have the normal excerpts on our homepage and category pages, but only want to print specific areas on posts.

donotprint is removing content from the_excerpt.

Is there a work around for this?

I have also tried get_the_excerpt, and that doesn't work. I also tried using a truncated version of the_content, but that didn't work because of images.

I also tried the_content_rss, which is very close to what we need, because it strips html, but it prints "[donotprint]" if in the excerpt.

I tried in funcions.php:
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');

but that doesn't work...

hmmmm - there has to be a way!

I don't see why it will affect the excerpt as in WP-Print I did not touch excerpt. And Excerpt does not touch shortcode at all, so if there is shortcode in Excerpt it will not work.

I tested with Do Not Print

This is the code of my post content

Code: [Select]

Print 1
[donotprint]
It is in do not pront
[/donotprint]
Print 2

This is content of my post excerpt

Code: [Select]

Excerpt.
This is my index.php Template

Code: [Select]

<?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
The excerpt works fine for me.

We will be using WP-Print for posts in two categories only, so for those posts we will add a custom excerpt for each.

I didn't even think to use a custom excerpt, but your post reminded me of this in Wordpress 

Thanks!
