->excerpt() for editor field

[Roman]

Hi, is it possible to trim text of editor field?

My goal is to show trimmed text in meta description from body (editor) field.

Trying this, but getting nothing:

$desc = strip_tags($page->body()->blocks()->excerpt(90));

Hi,

Try $desc = Str::excerpt($page->body()->blocks(), 90);. Tags should be stripped by default too.

Thanks a lot! It’s working this way.

Maybe it’s also possible to do the same thing for blueprint? I am showing body (editor) field content as placeholder of meta field, so that user knows what will be printed if he leaves field empty:

      metaDescription:
        ....
        placeholder: "{{ page.body.blocks }}"

You could use a page method (or a model, depending on use case):

Kirby::plugin('my/page-methods', [
    'pageMethods' => [
        'bodyBlockExcerpt' => function () {
            return Str::excerpt($this->body()->blocks(), 90);
        }
    ]
]);

In blueprint:

placeholder: "{{ page.bodyBlockExcerpt }}"

Thank you, trying to do this, not sure if I do it right. I created file in /site/plugins/page-methods/index.php with this code:

Kirby::plugin('my/page-methods', [
    'pageMethods' => [
        'bodyBlockExcerpt' => function () {
            return Str::excerpt($this->body()->blocks(), 90);
        }
    ]
]);

also changed blueprint, but getting empty placeholder.

I had a typo above, using bodyBlockExcerpt as method and calling as bodyBlocksExcerpt, maybe you have copied the error?

Ah, yes, didn’t notice, changed both to same: bodyBlockExcerpt and now it’s working, thanks a lot!
