# [Plugin: Category Posts in Custom Menu] Post excerpts?

 * I would like to use your plugin in two sidebars. In the first sidebar I only 
   display some post links from my custom taxonomy, and it works perfectly.
 * In the second sidebar I want to have post links as well as their excerpts (and
   maybe even thumbnails). Is this possible?
 * I’m developing on my pc so I can’t give a link unfortunately.

 * Right now, there are no other post fields that the plugin supports besides the
   ones mentioned in the documentation, but you can always use a custom field for
   the thumbnails and excerpts for now. I’ll keep your suggestion (%post_url, %$
   post_excerpt and %post_thumbnail) in mind for the next update.
 * Furthermore, the label supports HTML, so you can build your own custom HTML structure.
   And you can even force the post link to be placed around the title (not around
   other fields), by following [this](http://blog.dianakoenraadt.nl/#comment-165)

 * I’ve added a bunch of wildcards to the plugin 🙂
 * You can now use:
 * %post_title, %post_author, %post_feat_image (url only), %post_excerpt, %post_url,%
   post_date, %post_date_gmt, %post_status, %post_modified, %post_modified_gmt, %
   post_comment_count or wildcards for custom fields, like %post_my_field, where‘
   my field’ or ‘my_field’ is a custom field
 * Get version 0.6 to use them.
