Summary Plugin

The lighweight "Summary" plugin enables users to write summaries of their articles that will be displayed as introduction text with or without being included in the full text article. Optional arguments and parameters allow to link the summary text to the full text article. The plugin is very simple and does not use much resources.

Unnecessary

The reason this has had very few downloads is that you can use the "Hide Intro" option within Joomla to achieve the exact same effect - simply put your into before the Read More marker and the article after.

The additional feature of making the intro text a link seems to be of little value.

I have just tried this extension and found it very efficient. I would like to make text extract of an article instead of making a classique intro text. And Summary has done the job greatly.
Many thanks to the developper :)

I wonder why so few downloads.
It does its job and wonderfully: just insert a snippet of code inside an article, and only the summary will appear on the frontpage. Linkable? Yeah, sure; just change a parameter. Summary also on the article page or not? Just keep or change the other parameter.
That's all: a bit of code, two 1/0 parameters (and an optional «class» parameter), and you're done. Much better than having an intro text on the frontpage.

Be sure to check the documentation page at http://www.moleculargeek.net/summary.html before you start applying the plugin.
