exclude text from the post excerpt (reloaded)

    Hi,

    I’m using the excerpt reloaded to allow parsing the <img> tag to the excerpt, so I can make post teasers with images if available like this on my blog:

    http://www.ivancastell.org/fotolog

    However, this is nice to create archives, but I’ll like to go a little further and just show the images (i resize them via css) on the post. Right now, I get the images by allowing the <img> tag. I’ll like to disallow the text, but I think it can be done. To be clear, the images are stored outside my blog, on flickr and imageshack (that why I allow the <img> tag).

    In short: I’m looking to get something like the post thumb plugin (http://theblemish.com/post-thumbs-plugin/) but for external image servers.

    Thanks a lot.

    just show the images (i resize them via css)
    That’s a very bad practice – you have “thumbnails” of 137KB… which is not very user-friendly.

    Just a thought: can’t you set the number of words to 0(zero) with the plugin’s parameters? (never tried…)

    moshu,

    Yes, I know isn’t very user friendly, I don’t like it, but that’s the only way to do it automatically whatever I’ve hosted the images. The resize is also awfull.

    As for the settings, I can set the length of the excerpt to 0, but it’ll output nothing. No text, no images because it cut the output of the raw content at 0.

    I see. I don’t use this plugin (another one by Kaf) but it might do what you are after:

    I would suggest dropping the use of my plugin (for this!) and go with a bit of PHP magic:

    Kafkaesqui,

    Thanks you! It works! This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks you so much, you’ve been very helpful 🙂

    Now, I’ll try to check if I can resize the images via php on the fly and just display a thumb (not the whole image resized). As I don’t know anything about php I think I’ll not be able to achieve it. If anyone could give me some tips I’ll appreciate it. I’ll take a look at http://phpthumb.sourceforge.net/

    Thanks you all for your help.

    I’ve been trying to use this plugins to make phpthumb work with wordpress and resize the images and makes thumbnails on the fly with the Kafaesqui’s code. I didn’t achieve at all. I’ve installed phpthumb in the plugins directory and then used the JK phpthumb to display the images on the fotolog page as thumbnails, but it doesn’t display anything.

    JK Gallery:
    http://jirikupiainen.com/software/gallery/

    JK PHPThumb:
    http://jirikupiainen.com/software/phpthumb/

    Anyone knows how this could be done? I just want to resize via phpthumb or another plugin the first image (not via css that loads the entire image) in the post and make a thumbnail?

    It’ll really be cool if I could call the JK gallery (or whatever php code) and make the images displayed on the fotolog page thumbnails.

    Thanks in advance.
