Hey there,

I'm new to Pligg and I have a question about the story's summary. When I submit a story, I know I have to write in the Summary (max. 400 characters) field and this is what will appear on the front page as well.

The problem is that my visitors are kind of lazy on this part and instead of showing their Summary I want to show the original story's first 2-3 sentences (x character) on the front page (like on digg).

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks for all the replies!

Open your Admin panel and go to Configure. There you can disable summary-feature.
