Habari Plugin: Proton

Published 2008-10-13, tagged plugin and proton

I've just released Proton, a new Habari plugin. All this little guy does is modify your Atom feed to show excerpts instead of the post. There are no configuration options, since it's such a trivial plugin.

If you want to change the text used in the "read more" link, or if you want to change the number of paragraphs or characters used to generate the excerpt, simply edit proton.plugin.php. On line 20, you'll find this:

Format::apply_with_hook_params( 'more', 'post_content_atom', 'Read the whole thing', 250, 1 );

The last digit is the number of paragraphs to include in the excerpt; "250" is the number of characters to use, and "Read the whole thing" is the text to use for the link. Adjust as needed, and then activate the plugin!
