Add snippets to the Emporio theme

A lot of people love the image-focused look of the newer Emporio template. This article explains how to tweak your template's XML to add a short snippet to the Emporio posts - unfortunately, there's no easy way to add in snippets for Emporio, without customizing the markup. But, if you're feeling brave, head to:

Theme -> Edit HTML -> Jump to Widget -> Blog 1

If you search for 'snippet-container', you'll come across:

<div class='snippet-container r-snippet-container'>
  <div class='r-snippetized'>
    <data:post.title />
  </div>
  <b:if cond='data:post.title != ""'>
    <div class='snippet-fade r-snippet-fade hidden'></div>
  </b:if>
</div>

Notice that it's just got the title. You could change it to add something like:

<div class='snippet-container r-snippet-container'>
  <div class='r-snippetized'>
    <data:post.title />
    <div class='snippet-body'>
      <b:eval expr='snippet(data:post.body, { length: 100 })' />
    </div>
  </div>
  <b:if cond='data:post.title != ""'>
    <div class='snippet-fade r-snippet-fade hidden'></div>
  </b:if>
</div>

Which, when rendered, will look something like this:



Happy snippeting!

  1. Thanks a lot. Just what I needed.

    Is it also possible to see two lines of text (besides the title)? Expanding the lenght in the Widget doesn't help, because the posts/blocks have a maximum height. Is het possible to change this hight of these blocks?

  2. It seems to be a little bit more complicated. On my desktop (Firefox and IE) I only see one line of text, but om my mobile I see much more text. Is it possible to change this view of the posts/blocks when people visit my blog on a desktop?
