Article Teaser

[ubuntulistener]

Hello

I'm testing GetSimple and hoping to figure out how to get teasers to the front page.
I've enabled
# WYSIWYG toolbars (advanced or basic)

define('GSEDITORTOOL', 'advanced');
in the gsconfig.php file, but there seems to be no menu option for teasers.

Is there supposed to be a article-teaser option? Do I have to set up a specific front-page other than the default one?
Are there configuration options for the WYSIWYG editor other than the gsconfig.php file?

Thanks

PS. To the devs: Good idea for uncomplicated CMS. I think a lot of people have been looking for this sort of thing.

What are you referring to when you say 'article-teaser' I have to say I have been designing and programming for over 5 years and I don't believe I have ever heard of this?

I don't think this currently exists... you could create a simple plugin to do this for you.

… or use Mike’s CustomFields plugin to add a new field for a teaser to the editing page.

the get_header already has a similar feature for the meta description

Code:

$description = trim(mb_substr(strip_tags(stripslashes(htmlspecialchars_decode(@$content, ENT_QUOTES))), 0, 160));

all it takes is turn it into a function with the proper variables
