Full Version: Using Extended Field For Something Else?

Basically in a blog I'm using for review entries, I want to use the extended entry field to put a short summary of the review in. All I want to know is if it is possible to stop the extended entry from automatically adding itself to the bottom of the entry body on the individual pages. I just want the summary to appear on the index page and no where else.

Any help would be appreciated. I've had a search but nothing comes up with the right information.

Cheers.

You can just remove the MTEntryMore tag from the Individual Archive Page, and use it in the template you do want it to show up. smile.gif

Does that help? smile.gif

Of course, dare I say it, the "excerpt" field is already helpfully provided for exactly that purpose. Not that there's any reason you can't use the "more" field instead, except that the default templates already are set up to expect excerpts in the excerpt field.
