Hi,

I'd love to be able to do the following:

On one page have a listing of all nodes (paged) for a particular taxonomy term - where the nodes are shown in full.
On another page (an archives page) have a listing of all nodes (paged) for that term - where the nodes are shown using medium-length excerpts.
In a block, have a listing of x-recent nodes for that term - where the nodes are shown using a really short excerpt.

1. Is this possible?
2. What's the best way to do this? I have looked at PHP snippets but they haven't been too much help.

Thanks in advance,
Rachel

The information about where to cut the text must be stored somewhere, like for example is the case with the !--break-- code (in the node itself) or with the exerpt module (separate table). The excerpt module disables the normal teaser if I am not mistaken.

It would be useful to be able to mix (manage "priority" per page/view) the excerpt module with perhaps multiple occurances of the !--break-- code. Not sure if this should be a feature request of except module or its own module interacting with excerpt while also using the node's !--break-- code.

Anyway, it would be great if we soon have a non-tech user friendly alternative the current !--break-- method as well. A potential extra benefit of a new module?

I am possibly overcomplicating this here, so I guess a new module could approach it completely different to achieve such flexibility easier.
