Hi guys, i´m designing my first drupal site and i need some info.

There is a requirement from my client that when the user writes an article he has to input his own teaser text to be shown in the front page, if that is not possible then at least we need to enter a tag indicating up to what part of the main text can be used as a teaser (ie: in wordpress i can place a tag and that indicates where the teaser will end.

Until now i have found how to change the teaser length globally but i really need to have better control when users write an article.

Thanks in advance.

I have not used this module myself yet,
http://drupal.org/project/excerpt

but it seems satisfy your client's requirement about user inputing their own teaser text.

I did install the excerpt module but could not get it to work, i did some searching and found other posts having trouble with that module so i gave up with the excerpt module for the moment, after i finish a lot of more important stuff i´ll give it a try again, for now the <!--break--> tag works for me.

Thank you guys for your help, just what i needed.
