Adding parameter to the_excerpt()

1. kardjo

   I want to have some parameter in the the_excerpt() tag like the_content_rss(), that limiting words count showed.

   In default, the_excerpt() is 55 words if no excerpt provided. But I want to customize this (let say only 20 words, exist or not exist the excerpt of content).

   thanks

   There is a very easy wasy to make this:
   open wp-includes/functions-formatting.php with an editor
   find the line:
   function wp_trim_excerpt($text) {

   and change
   function wp_trim_excerpt($text) {
   ...
   $excerpt_length = 55;
   ...

   with any you want (like 20, ...)
   Save it and upload it...

   OR HERE A PLUGIN FOR THAT: http://guff.szub.net/2005/02/26/the_excerpt-reloaded/
