wp_trim_excerpt?

[Vermaas]

Hi all,

I’m struggling with an issue about the excerpt. What i’ve got, is the following.

I’ve got an id of a page. And i want that specific page to be displayed on a particular place. But i don’t want to show the full content of the post. I know what you’re thinking, use the_excerpt!!! But that won’t work in this case, so in my search i found the function wp_trim_excerpt(), and when you put some text into this function, it will give an excerpt of that text.

Well that’s what the reference guide of WP says, but i don’t get the excerpt of the page, but the whole content.. Probably i’m using it one the wrong way. So, can someone give me a hand?

This is the code:

/* Get front-end block's */

function yandt_content_block( $position ) {

global $wpdb;

$content = $wpdb->get_row( "SELECT * FROM wp_yandt_frontcontent_content

WHERE

name = '" . mysql_real_escape_string( $position ) . "'" );

// Get the page by ID

$ID = $content->content_id;

$page = get_page( $ID );



// Check the position

$extraClass = '';

if( $position == 'Midden' ) {

$extraClass = 'middle-one';

}



// Build the block

echo '




' . $page->post_title . '






';



// Check for a thumbnail

if( has_post_thumbnail( $ID ) ):

echo get_the_post_thumbnail( $ID );

endif;



// Show the excerpt of this page

echo wp_trim_excerpt($page->post_content);



echo 'post_title . '" class="read-more">Lees verder



';

}
