I don't want you to think you're being ignored.

There's no "native" way to do this, but it is possible

Thanks for your response, ¥åßßå.

Any top-of-the-head suggestions about where some experimentation MIGHT prove fruitful?

The way we solved a similar request for a client was to create a "featured posts" blog ( that has several feature type" categories ).

We then cross-post any relevant posts into the relevant featured categories.

In the skin we then called our plugin and it returns the list of posts from the relevant featured category(s). It also has the ability to chop the posts content at a given number of words.

You'd need to do something similar except you'd want to just slap the "output" part into function SkinTag()

Hi there.

I"ve had a similar problem. In previous versions of b2e I was able to put words, pictures and the link in the linkblog and all appeared in the sidebar. Nothing special was done.

However, I'm now using the new version and only the title of the post and the link appears. Which is not what I want.

I'm trying to fix the problem, but I thought it would be a simple thing considering it was in a previous version. Thoughts?

You'd need to hack inc/widgets/model/_widget.class.php and uncomment the content teaser part ( approx 589 ) :

		/**
		 * @var ItemLight
		 */
		while( $Item = & $LinkblogList->get_category_group() )
		{
			// Open new cat:
			echo $this->disp_params['item_start'];
			$Item->main_category();
			echo $this->disp_params['group_start'];

			while( $Item = & $LinkblogList->get_item() )
			{
				echo $this->disp_params['item_start'];

				$Item->title( array(
						'link_type' => $link_type,
					) );

				/*
				$Item->content_teaser( array(
						'before'      => '',
						'after'       => ' ',
						'disppage'    => 1,
						'stripteaser' => false,
					) );

				$Item->more_link( array(
						'before'    => '',
						'after'     => '',
						'link_text' => T_('more').' »',
					) );
				*/


				echo $this->disp_params['item_end'];
			}

Hi there,

Thanks for the reply. I uncommented the teaser section, but it just crashed b2e :(

Any other suggestions? Any help would be appreciated.
