Topic: Possible to add post excerpt to Per Line view ?

Hoping someone can help - I've searched the forums, but no one seems to have asked this at all.

I'm wanting to include the post excerpt in the PER LINE view on the front page - is this possible ?

TIA  smile

Does anyone know - is this possible in USER.CSS, or do I need to edit the TAPESTRIES.PHP file ?

I am pretty sure you'll need to edit tapestries.php to create a new tapestry which contains the information you want. The Per-Line tapestry does not output the text you want.

By creating a new tapestry, you can get as creative as you want. I did a accordion per-line on my site (hover over the per-line entries).

thanks voidtrance.  I've not ventured beyond USER.CSS, but I'll give it a go ...  smile

How did it work out for you? I'm thinking about doing the same thing, but am a tad weary in regards to editing the tapestries.php file.

Hi Jenny_V - after consulting with my client, I actually didn't need to do this in the end (although may still need to !)

I did however copy/replace some text from another thread on this forum into one of my PHP files and it worked without a hitch.  To be safe, I used the WP front end (Appearance-Editor) to copy the existing text into a separate text (notepad) file, made my changes and checked to see if it had worked OK.
