I’ve got a template where the user needs to be able to add the “read more” link where they want it, just like in WordPress. No problem says I, EE hacksaw has the cutoff=”” parameter. I’ve set this up and when I use the read-more button in wygwam it spits this out into the source of the field <!—read_more—> which I then set as the cutoff parameter in EE hive.

The thing is it’s not working - any clues on what I’m missing?

{exp:eehive_hacksaw cutoff="<!--read_more-->" allow="<p><b><a><ul><ol><li>"}
    {general-content}
    {/exp:eehive_hacksaw}

Turns out you don’t need hacksaw for this to work. wygwam has an excerpt function built in

{field_name:excerpt}

That’s so cool. I didn’t know about the excerpt variable. Thanks Sean!
