Length of summary - how do we control?

Carsten Legaard · Post by **Carsten Legaard** » Mon 20. Mar 2006, 17:53

The default summary seems to be a full article. At least all of the lines of my articles show up before the link "More...".
How do I control these measures?

I did try, what is recommended in the Docu, to use the sample.tmpl template in "Template: Article listing".
It did not change anything.

Hi Carsten, you are on the wrong way...

Take only a summary as a summary

(3 or 4 lines) and not the whole article text!!

The rest, what will be shown after klicking the more... link put it into one or more contentparts... thats the way it works

Oh yes, now I see, it has been right at my feet all of the time.
Thus I was blind.
Thanks a lot. Again.

Hi Carsten... by the way...

Damned, I'm on the wrong way again.
Can't make the rest of an article go away, though I did put it in a content part.
Could this be because the article belongs to an index page?

Well, I can put the answer to that Q. myself:
I tried with a second level and a thrid level article as well. None of them would show up before and after any 'more' link. They both showed up at the same page.
Where the hack do I go wrong??

... And even if I make sure to mark the choice of a 'more' link, the link does not show up at all.
Isn't that strange?

Recently I tried to change the jaypeg to a GIF - without no significant result.
I think I will have to remake that logo from scratch.
Me and my companions in Kenya are preparing a set of stylish, layout and css changes. Partly as a result of your advice, so thanks, and keep watching!

Hi Carsten,
the more thing is only working, when you are using more then one artikle in the same category!!

In addition, you must change the worth of TopArticles inside ADMIN from -1 to a bigger worth, say 5 or 10!
