Two different excerpt lengths ?

[thedao]

Hello,
I’ve been trying to reach that with no success.
Could it be possible to have two different excerpt lengths?
I’ve been trying this code but something goes wrong…

In my functions.php:

function custom_excerpt($new_length = 20, $new_more = '...') {
  add_filter('excerpt_length', function () use ($new_length) {
    return $new_length;
  }, 999);
  add_filter('excerpt_more', function () use ($new_more) {
    return $new_more;
  });
  $output = get_the_excerpt();
  $output = apply_filters('wptexturize', $output);
  $output = apply_filters('convert_chars', $output);
  $output = '<p>' . $output . '</p>';
  echo $output;
}

In my template:

<?php custom_excerpt(40, 'moo') ?>

Hi,
I am not sure about your code that why is it not working ? You can use another code:

function excerpt($limit) {
 $excerpt = explode(' ', get_the_excerpt(), $limit);
 if (count($excerpt)>=$limit) {
 array_pop($excerpt);
 $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt).'...';
 } else {
 $excerpt = implode(" ",$excerpt);
 }
 $excerpt = preg_replace('<code>[[^]]*]</code>','',$excerpt);
 return $excerpt;
}

Example:-
<?php echo excerpt(25); ?>
Thanks
