Blog Site preview text automatically in Description Field

02 Mar 2017, 10:59

Hello,
nice Feature to be was to automatically fill the Description field from Content Site . 
Similar with amount a number of Pictures in th Blog.

You can set the Setting for Blog and you have a preview of the Long Text. The first 3 Phrase of long Text.
Then you set a Link to the whole Article.  
Example: "read more"

Then you click on the Link and you can read the whole Blogentry.

Is this possible to setup or must be the Request for the next release?

Best Regards
hardliner

I am not sure why you would need to automatically populate descriptions from your content. Manually adding them, gives you full control of how your pages display in search engines (SEO), when sharing (Facebook, Twitter etc) and also how the text appears in an X3 blog overview page. Surely it doesn't take more than a minute to create a description for a page, summarized from your content?

This is pretty much how it works already. See example:

It can be a request, but may I ask why you don't just add a short unique description manually? Surely this is more effective.
