Can Joomla has a custom excerpt like WordPress, Drupal? - joomla

Both WordPress and Drupal have a custom excerpt, it's very useful, but Joomla seems doesn't have one.
Does someone know which extension can enable Joomla's custom excerpt function?
Thank you!

You don't need any extension, Joomla can do this out-of-the box using the native readmore functionality.
Add a readmore to your article, custom excerpt before the readmore.
In article options, set 'show readmore' to 'no'.
Now blog pages will show your custom excerpt text but it will not be shown in the article view.

How does one change Fishpig blog description/title?

Where do I need to go to change the /blog/ description? I noticed that Fishpig isn't using WordPress's blog description and that there also isn't a setting for changing this within the Fishpig settings page under Magento admin panel.
The description that is placed directly under the blog title is taken from the Settings > General page of the WordPress Admin.
The best way I've found to do this is to install the Yoast SEO plugin which allows you to manage that right on all posts including the blog listing that you referenced.
It's a good plugin to have in general for SEO anyway so it's win-win.

How to show the plugins in the page in joomla

I have installed the plugin simple image gallery module in joomla. But i cannot figure out how to show the plugin in the site page, as menu item. Anyone could help me?
Thank you.
Try this,
If that is module then:
create an article,
also create a menu and assign that article to the menu system,
then inside your article content load the module with their position like this:
{loadposition your_mod_psoition}
where "your_mod_position" is the module position. Make sure you have content load plugin enabled.
For more information check last section of this article.
If it's Plugin it may have short code for embedding to the page, so you can use that inside your article.
Hope its helps..
First of all, what Plugin are you exactly using? There are a view called simple image gallery. Please add a link.
To show the gallery I suppose the plugin has some kind of syntax to do that. In most cases you can find the syntax you have to use in the plugin manager. Backend: Extensions > Plugin Manager.
Then pick a article that you can see in the frontend and put the syntax in there according to the syntax of the plugin.

Articles not showing in joomla 2.5

I am trying to use joomla with the yoo catalyst theme. And i was trying to have an article on my page. But the problem is that article is not showing in my theme. But when i choose default theme it is showing the accurate results. Is there any setting that i am missing with this theme?
Please Help.
Think the answer if fairly simple. The link your provided:
http://www.2ademo.com/MedFit2.5/index.php?option=com_helloworld&view=helloworld
is to a dummy component, hence the "option=com_helloworld&view=helloworld" and not to an actual article. When I went on to the website, I clicked on the "Privacy Policy" link which directed me to the following page:
http://www.2ademo.com/MedFit2.5/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=106
and the article is showing fine on here
#user1929236 This is not an actual problem, it was actually caused by template configuration.
Since you have set hidden content on homepage in the template config, the content in the url was also hidden (an url without itemid will use the same template profile with homepage).
