I’m having a problem with adding an excerpt counter to the excerpt field. It may be a conflict with another plugin, but basically it screws with other jquery if the excerpt field doesn’t exist (e.g.: when it’s a page which doesn’t have an excerpt).
Some issues that occur are: kills admin nav fly-out, media button doesn’t work…
Is there a conditional I could use that would only add this function if it is a post, or if it has the excerpt field? I have several custom post types, and the default posts all using the excerpt field.
Here is the code I have so far, but I can’t figure out what conditional would make this work:
function excerpt_count_js(){
if(possible_conditional_here()) {
echo '<script>jQuery(document).ready(function(){
jQuery("#postexcerpt .handlediv").after("<div style="position:absolute;top:0px;right:5px;color:#666;"><small>Character limit = 150. Current characters: </small><input type="text" value="0" maxlength="3" size="3" id="excerpt_counter" readonly="" style="background:#fff;"> </div>");
jQuery("#excerpt_counter").val(jQuery("#excerpt").val().length);
jQuery("#excerpt").keyup( function() {
jQuery("#excerpt_counter").val(jQuery("#excerpt").val().length);
});
});</script>';
}
return;
}
add_action( 'admin_head-post.php', 'excerpt_count_js');
add_action( 'admin_head-post-new.php', 'excerpt_count_js');
I’ve tried these (none of which worked):
if(post_type_exists())
– doesn’t display at all
if(!is_page())
– doesn’t change anything
You can use post type conditional tag:
