Adding excerpt on posts (if that is added manually)

[Anand Kumar]

I am trying to add post excerpt on posts. The following code works but shows a part of post content if post excerpt is not added manually.

I want to retrieve post excerpt only if there is a manually added excerpt for the post.

Thanks in advance!

The code is:

/** Add post excerpt on posts */
add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'excerpt_on_post', 2 ); 
function excerpt_on_post() {
    if ( is_single() ) {
	echo '<div class="excerpt-on-post">
				<p><span class="help">Summary: </span>';
				$my_excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
				echo $my_excerpt;
		echo '</p></div>';
	}
}

the_excerptis an option for posts under the 'screen options' tab. If it is left empty the_content is displayed.

I figured out the missing code. It was has_excerpt().

So the code should be:

/** Add post excerpt on posts */
add_action( 'genesis_post_content', 'excerpt_on_post', 2 ); 
function excerpt_on_post() {
    if ( is_single() && has_excerpt() ) {
	echo '<div class="excerpt-on-post">
				<p><span class="help">Summary: </span>';
				$my_excerpt = get_the_excerpt();
				echo $my_excerpt;
		echo '</p></div>';
	}
}

Thanks for the reply Doak!!
