Definitive answer on Filter_HTML status, update or alternative, please?
Development and Programming
I have a site running on php 4.4.x and this seems to be the only site that doesn’t want to use filter_HTML correctly. I have gone through and removed ampersands, HOWEVER, this seems to have screwed up the word/character limiting aspect of the plugin. For example, I have this working perfectly on one site:
{exp:filter_html units="words" if_exceeds="20" stop_after="10" rules="-*" ellipsis="…<a href='{url_title_path=news/article}'>More »</a>"}{body}{/exp:filter_html}But when I put it on the site running 4.4.x, everything but the “rules” parameter is ignored.
I was reading this thread about how the original developer “passed the baton” - and that was late 2005.
I’m trying to reduce load time on a page, and I have the filter_html plugin wrapped in the word_limit plugin. With 5-20 entries on a page, that’s a lot of extra work, especially if the filter_html plugin can just take care of limiting the words itself.
Can someone answer defninitively: Is there a version newer than 1.0, or an alternate plugin I can use to do what it does? I’m going to reinstall this plugin and remove as few ampersands as possible this time to see if I can get it working! Thanks for any help here.
Curious… Was this plug-in ever approved to distribute? This sounds like it’s exactly what I’m looking for and would help streamline the site I’m working on. Looks like the last post to this thread was back in 2007.
