Logic behind no "read more" link?

[Ken.]

IMO the layout you show in readmore1.gif is better because having the "Read More" link positioned at the end of the displayed text leaves no doubt about the intent of the read more link.

Good catch Xarcell.. How mine is still working is a mystery. I'll have a nose in the morning.

I'm happy with a ...[More] link.. I don't see a need for unnecessary graphics.

I have to say..

I also think many of these touches, like Read More.. are a personal want. There are quite functional: Comments / Write Comment buttons already.. with: Comments doing exactly what Read More does.. It's just worded differently and located in a different place.

The more I think about it, the more I think it should just say "Read More". It could easily be changed in the language file if a person wanted something different.

What really should be done, besides adding the read more link, is make sure that the articles "read more" match the board news "read more" in terms of layout. Wouldn't you agree?

I think it's prudent to add "read more", because in alot of posts it doesn't look obvious that there is more to read.

Thank you Thank you Thank u Xarcelllll! !!!   Thanks god you Found it   !  I love the 2nd Shot looks awsom.   Mission accomplished !   If this could be added to TP would be good - wordpress and the rest allready have this  (so i m jelous)

xarcel is it possible to add an image right after Read more.?   so it will look like

..Read more





Mix it up with the old code - You can modifi the text with in 


just change ...Anything »  to what ever you want it to say


in forum/Sources/TPmodules.php

Find:

$row['body'] .= '...';

Replace with :

Code Select Expand

$row['body'] .= '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0">...Anything » </a>';

Untested, but try:

Code Select Expand

$row['body'] .= '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['ID_TOPIC'] . '.0">' . $txt['tp-readmore'] . ' <img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/icons/bullet003.gif" alt="" /></a>';

I agree.. which is why I added it to mine a while ago. I think having it the way it is with Comments | Add Comment should remain, as it displays a Comment Count. having an inline Read More suits me fine.
