   I know you can have excerpts for pages now with WP 3.0 by addaction() of add_post_type_support( 'page', 'excerpt' ); but what I want to do is pull in a page excerpt but not on the page by doing something like

   $page_id = 152;
   $page_data = get_page( $page_id );
   get_page_excerpt($page_data or $page_id);

   so I can display the excerpt of the page in a widget.

   Anyone know how to do this?

   Thanks

   I've got as far as this but it doesn't stop at the more link or cut off at the excerpt length? Can anyone help?

   $page_id = 129;
   $page_data = get_page( $page_id );
   $content = apply_filters('the_content', $page_data->post_content);
   $title = $page_data->post_title;
   echo '<h2>'.$title.'</h2>';
   echo $content;

   Also tried
   

   $content = apply_filters('the_excerpt', $page_data->post_content);
   $content = apply_filters('get_the_excerpt', $page_data->post_content);

   Both display the information but again don't show the excerpt on top of which get_the_excerpt seems to strip the tags out too all the <p> are gone so formatting is not working.

   The codex says that the_content will stop at the <!--more--> tag http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/the_content so why isn't this working?

   I noticed that but that implies I'm in the loop. This is a single page which I'm pulling in a pages content. I tried the below as well and it doesn't do anything. In order for that to work I'd have to be in the loop and be able to call the_content() directly like the example it seems.

   global $more;
   $more = 0;
   $page_id = '152';
   $page_data = get_page( $page_id );
   $content = the_content($page_data->post_content); apply_filters('the_content', $page_data->post_content);
   $title = $page_data->post_title;
   echo '<h2>'.$title.'</h2>';
   echo $content;

   Got it, after saying it needs to be in the loop I just put it in the loop. Making sure $more = 0 is inside the loop.

   <?php
   // The Query
   $the_query = new WP_Query( 'page_id=152' );
   
   // The Loop
   global $more;
   
   while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) : $the_query->the_post();
   	$more = 0;
   	the_content("Read more...");
   endwhile;
   
   // Reset Post Data
   wp_reset_postdata();
   ?>
