Articles without the "more"

nsnook · Post by **nsnook** » Mon 3. May 2004, 02:44

This is the site I am currently working on (so you can tell if I figure it out)
http://bsticker.com/tkd/index.php?id=3,0,0,1,0,0

I am trying to get an article to display itself fully, without the "more" option.
I am not sure how to disable it.

The idea really is that I would like to list and display all the articles... instead of having to click on each one to see them.

Or maybe control that only 4 articles are displayed & after that you need to click on them. I am not sure.

If anyone has a better suggestion I am DEFINATELY open to that as well. I am not even an amatuer at web design, PHP, or phpWCMS.

Thanks!
Nathan

I think you have to do this..

Go to admin > site structure > edit the level where you want to show the whole articles... set top article count: to 99

If you use version RC4 - else you can set it in conf.template.default.php

$template_default["top_count"] = 1;

change to

$template_default["top_count"] = 99;

you could go in to the conf.default_template.inc.php file and change the 'more...' to "" i guess.

Hello,
When i set the TOP ARTICLE COUNT to 99 in the admin level structure setup
the "more" option appear again and other article text show too

This is my structure :

Main article TITLE
bla bla bla
bla bla bla

- article A-1 TITLE
- article A-2 TITLE
- article A-3 TITLE

This solved my problem (from frold):

If you use version RC4 - else you can set it in conf.template.default.php
ttemplate_default["top_count"] = 1;
change to
$template_default["top_count"] = 99;

I've been looking for a similar solution.
I have article count set to 99.

The 'more' is always displayed at the end of the summary section which is fine if there is actually more to read when the article is clicked. But I have a few articles that the only text I have is the summary. Clicking on more just shows the same text, since there is nothing more to see. The more is redundant.

The more-link is displayed if you have more than one article under same level - if you want to have an article displayed fully - then you should create only 1 article in the structure - put other articles in a deeper level (at the moment). I'm working on a solution by introducing a new setting for an article - top article. Such article will be displayed completely.

Ah. . .
Thank you for your support!
I try to read severeal posts a day to get up to speed.
Some of the sites I've seen created with WCMS just floor me.

I have been looking for something like this for months.
I'm a Mac guy and there are some quirks using Safari and Explorer but the latest version of Netscape seems to work fine.

Thank you for such a great product.

If someone can take a look at
http://www.nccbmwcca.org/index.php?id=56,0,0,1,0,0

Notice each article has more. . .
but there really is nothing more to read.

Any workaround to remove the more. . . in this case?
I do not want to remove 'more. . .' from other sections.

hello!

yes if you use the 3.6.2004 Version you can create your own article listing template! i have also one created without an more link look at this.

Code: Select all

<div>
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
	<td>[TITLE]<b>{TITLE}</b>[/TITLE]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td>{SUMMARY}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td height="30px"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>

you find the templates in /phpwcms_template/inc_cntpart/articlesummary/list/news.tmpl

6.3?
Currently I have Release 1.1-RC4 22-05-2004 installed.
Is there also a tutorial somewhere on creating templates?
