Front page Teasers

[hansvries]

for those who didn't upgraded to 2.02 i'm using this function in theme_functions.php:

Code:

function get_short_content($page){  
        $path = "data/pages";
        $thisfile = @file_get_contents('data/pages/'.$page.'.xml');
        $data = simplexml_load_string($thisfile);
        echo '<p>';
        echo '<b>';
        echo stripslashes(htmlspecialchars_decode($data->title, ENT_QUOTES));
        echo '</b></p><p>'   ;
        echo substr((stripslashes(htmlspecialchars_decode($data->content, ENT_QUOTES))),0,350);;
        echo '.............</p><p>' ;
        echo '<a href="index.php?id='.$page.'">Read more</a></p>' ;
}

and then call in your template or component

Code:

<?php get_short_content('pagetitle');?>

Cheers
