good luck! can't wait. very excited!!

here ya go... I inserted the option to enable or disable the intro as well as the ability to limit the intro to a number of characters (an extra if/else would do if you want to disable the char count altogether).

HTH, untested

edit... posted the code but stripped some stuff so i'll give a link, hang on

edit... modified file here. Let me know if it doesn't do what you want.

First - well done on the double-quick work.

Second - I'm trying hard here - i've got to the point where i have the titles then a space (

in the code), so something's trying to get through but it's just not making it.

i'm going to stare at this puppy for a while and see if i can see anything - any help above and beynd what yo've already done would be great.

thanks

Crikey! Also, when i change the headline length to something ridiculous it doesn't reflect in the page. i've refreshed and refreshed but none of my changes take place. maybe i'm just doing something totally and utterly wrong....

d'oh!

start with this... neglected to put var 5 and 6 into the first call to displaystories() at about line 818 make it look like this:now i'll test it and see if it works

k, I did it and it works now... sorry, but that's what happens when I'm playing CS at the same time as coding on another monitor
couple minutes and I'll put up the tarball.

same link and it works

hmmm, i don't know. i've tried the new script and messed about a bit myself but still can't get it to work properly. i still have

where the intro should be.

my cache issue, sorry..
try now

Whoah! You did it!

I just downloaded it, installed it and it worked first time. Like a dream.

Thanks for all your help. This block is now complete. I suggest everyone replaces their old block with this new, improved version.

Well done.

There is one thing about this block, that I think is a kind of bug (talking abou the initial version) it also lists articles with the draft flag set (i hope that's how it's called in English )

A simple way of improving the search engine optimization if you use the URL rewrite function, change this:
in:

Dutch Geeklog sites about camping/hiking:
www.kampeerzaken.nl | www.campersite.nl | www.caravans.nl | www.caravans.net

A more universal approach would be to use the COM_buildURL function to create the proper rewritten url, that way it works for people who have rewriting turned off as well:

I didn't really test it but I believe that should work fine.

Yes I am mental.
