From ThisBlueWiki

I've been doing some lite hacking on Wordpress MU lately. Here is some useful stuff:

• Wordpress MU sitewide recent posts plugin aka an improved ah_recent_posts_mu.php.

// see http://www.milienzo.com/2007/09/02/improving-wordpress-the_excerpt-template-tag/

function improved_trim_excerpt($text) {
        global $post;
        if ( '' == $text ) {
                $text = get_the_content('');
                $text = apply_filters('the_content', $text);
                $text = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $text);
                $text = preg_replace('@<script[^>]*?>.*?</script>@si', '', $text);
                $text = strip_tags($text, '<p>');
                $excerpt_length = 45;
                $words = explode(' ', $text, $excerpt_length + 1);
                if (count($words) > $excerpt_length) {
                        array_pop($words);
                        array_push($words, '[...]');
                        $text = implode(' ', $words);
                }
        }
        return $text;
}

remove_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'wp_trim_excerpt');
add_filter('get_the_excerpt', 'improved_trim_excerpt');
