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 '<article class="one-third ' . $extraClass . '">
					<header class="one-third-header">
						<h1>' . $page->post_title . '</h1>
					</header>
					
					<div class="one-third-content">';
					
					// 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 '<a href="' . get_permalink( $ID ) .  '" title="' . $page->post_title . '" class="read-more">Lees verder</a>
					</div><!-- .one-third-content -->
				</article><!-- .one-third-article -->';
	}
