[Plugin: Network Latest Posts] Excerpt length

Hi,

If you want to limit by chars you have to replace the nlp_custom_excerpt function from the file network-latest-posts.php on line 885 by this one:

function nlp_custom_excerpt($count, $content, $permalink, $excerpt_trail){
    if($count == 0 || $count == 'null') { $count = 55; }
    /* Strip shortcodes
     * Due to an incompatibility issue between Visual Composer
     * and WordPress strip_shortcodes hook, I'm stripping
     * shortcodes using regex. (27-09-2012)
     *
     * $content = strip_tags(strip_shortcodes($content));
     *
     * replaced by
     *
     * $content = preg_replace("/\[(.*?)\]/i", '', $content);
     * $content = strip_tags($content);
     */
    $content = preg_replace("/\[(.*?)\]/i", '', $content);
    $content = strip_tags($content);
    // Limit the number of characters
    $content = substr($content, 0, $count);
    $content = $content . '...';
    // Add the trail
    switch( $excerpt_trail ) {
        // Text
        case 'text':
            $content = $content.'<a href="'.$permalink.'">'._('more').'</a>';
            break;
        // Image
        case 'image':
            $content = $content.'<a href="'.$permalink.'"><img src="'.plugins_url('/img/excerpt_trail.png', __FILE__) .'" alt="'._('more').'" title="'._('more').'" /></a>';
            break;
        // Text by default
        default:
            $content = $content.'<a href="'.$permalink.'">'._('more').'</a>';
            break;
    }
    // Return the excerpt
    return $content;
}
