I'm currently using one solution proposed at the forum, replacing
{{ blog_post.description_from_content }}
with a
{% if blog_post.gen_description %}
{{ blog_post.content|safe|truncatewords:60 }}
{% else %}
{{ blog_post.description|safe }}
{% endif %}
and it works pretty well, where
I believe the optimal solution would be for Mezzanine to offer a better
default por the generation of descriptions, along with Eduardo's solution,
which is to have a setting where the developer can point to a callable.
