Excerpt method doesn't strip caption from image kirbytag

Kirby 3 Solved ✅
10

I’ve adapted texnixe’s earlier suggestion at https://forum.getkirby.com/t/variable-length-excerpts-possible/1073/4 to the following:

<?php 
function getExcerpt($string){
    $start = strpos($string, '<p>');
    $string = substr($string, $start, 350);
    $string = strip_tags($string, '<strong>');
    return $string . "…";
    }
?>

I added this as a new index.php file in my new plugin folder, in a folder called Methods.

This works exactly as I wanted in my original post. The getExcerpt method ignores any KirbyTags at the beginning of the KirbyText file, starting at the first <p> , counting up the to the number of characters set in the attributes. I added strp_tags to remove any unwanted paragraph breaks.

Thanks Sonja for your help!
