Is there an "excerpt" for a recipe?

    I am trying out the plugin and so far love it. I just have one challenge that I need to resolve. My theme has a slider on the home page that looks to posts within a category to create the slides from. It pulls the excerpt from the post into the slide as well as the thumb mouse over. Is there something that I can change the call to for the recipe?

    The slide pulling in an excerpt from a post http://i.imgur.com/wuNWpB6.png

    The code that is calling the excerpt: http://i.imgur.com/Wj7bz4Q.png

    So 2 possibilities I see:
    1. Adding excerpts to recipes
    2. Changing the slide show to pull from the descriptions or notes of a recipe.

    Thanks,
    Don

    The plugin is actually creating excerpts for recipes at least if you call them by get_the_excerpt(). I’m not sure how the excerpt field in the post list is generated. I will try to loook into this on thze weekend.

    I looked at the records in the db and if I add text within the wp_posts table in the post_content field/column that will pull it into the slide. Unfortunately the user of the site won’t be able to do this. So maybe there is a way to add the fields to the recipe editing page?

    This should be possible even without adding an extra field. We could save the text from the description field to post_content as well. However I won’t have time to do this soon.

    In the next weeks I will try to release version 0.6 of the plugin. I can include this new feature in version 0.7.

    If you like I can give you some alpha code for testing. You can also try to do this yourself and I will happily include your code. Look at php/class/rpr_core.php and edit the function recipes_save().

    Here is what we did: https://gist.github.com/stnkris/58601609a899eb7f9fc3

    Do you see any issues with this?

    Work is in progress to include proper excerpts: https://github.com/dasmaeh/recipepress-reloaded/tree/excerpts
