Downloaded and overwritten...everything running great now thanks :)

Clicked INSTALL.

Thanks a whole lot, I've been searching for a way to do this for a long minute now.

Could I bother you so much as to have you create something that would allow me to add a footer template of sorts to the rss2 feed? I want to insert a banner with a referral code into the bottom of every rss2 item. This would be similar to the "Add your logo to the RSS 2 Newsfeed" hack you made for 3.0.

It would also so be real nice if I could add "digg this"/"add to delicious" etc links to the bottom of each item (like feedburner does it), but this is probably asking for too much. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out this feedburner feed of John Chow's blog: http://feeds.feedburner.com/JohnChowDotCom


Edit: I just checked the feed from your site, and it isn't trimmed. I guess this isn't working for 3.6.2 yet?

Doesn't seem to work on Vb3.6.2

Any chance of getting this to work for 3.6.4? I need this badly!!

My problem is exactly the opposite. :(

The news feed threads my RSS bots post are too short (often not even a full sentence).

I was told that there is nothing I can do, as the publisher of the RSS feed controls the limit on how much is released.

So given that set of circumstances I doubt it would be possible, but still I am wondering if anyone knows of a possible way to overcome that limitation?

I've tried looking for longer headline news feeds, but all the ones I've found still have the same problem. :(

I am looking for a US headline (or breaking) news feed that publishes at least 1-2 paragraphs, if anyone knows of one. I've tried using various search engines looking for RSS news feeds that publish the length of their news feeds, but no one seems to give out that information.

Sad to see this do not seems to work with 3.6.5 :-(

I would really like to use something like this.

I have a suggestion :) why don't you also allow users the option to trim by percentage of the total content? Perhaps if the content is longer than X characters? That way it could mean that a good proportion is always included even if the full length is very short or very long.

Oh and PS, external.php has hooks!

Yep, does not work for me either in 3.6.5.

Edits done in external.php

Hack activated with "Yes" and Number of words set at "100".

I still see the whole posts... not trimmed at all.

Is the hack still supported? Any plans to make this work with 3.6.5?

Any news on this?? Or other solutions?

I will be trying this later :)
