Hey Hedi,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here. I tried to access your site and none of the posts has any read more block. Am I missing anything here?

By the way, just for your information, a read more block is mainly used to separate content. For instance, you want to have intro text and a full text, you would construct your blog this way:


[text block]

[read more block]

[text block]

Hello Mark

That is what I think I did. You can please check again. The article "Aufenthaltsraum Boulderhalle" is now done with the "read more block".

Thanks and regards
Hedi

Hey Hedi,

That post seems to be fine as you can see from the listing, it is correctly truncated, http://take.ms/lalZa

Am I missing anything here?

Hey Mark

Oh now I see where this shows up ! I wanted it on my frontpage (see enclosed document) !

Is there a way I can have the short version there and the full when I click on it ?

Thanks
Hedi

Hey Hedi,

Ah, I see! It is actually because the module was configured to pick from the main content instead of the intro text, http://take.ms/ylxhj . I have configured it to pick content from the introtext only, and it will render only the introtext now

Ah I see..... thanks a million !

One more question (sorry to nag you all the time ) ..... is it possible to have the "readmore" text in the showcase ?

Thanks again and best regards,
Hedi

PS: You surely deliver the best support of all !

Uuuppppsss !!! It is working now !

Thank you soo much for all your help !

Best regards,
Hedi

Hi Hedi,

The setting to enable readmore link in the module is located in the module settings: http://take.ms/nZatL

I have helped you enable this setting: http://take.ms/MovZq

Thanks for the kind compliments.

One more question...... if I have not set a "readmore" in the article, it still shows it in the Showcase, even though there is not more to read. Is that correct or can I avoid that ?

Hedi

Hey Hedi,

if I have not set a "readmore" in the article, it still shows it in the Showcase, even though there is not more to read

That is correct. This is how the settings behave.

If you want to change this, you would have to template override the following file: JoomlaFolder/modules/mod_easyblogshowcase/tmpl/default.php http://take.ms/uGjZD

Perfect............ !!

THANK YOU !!!!

You're most welcome Hedi.

Remember to create the override file at JoomlaFolder/templates/current_template/html/mod_easyblogshowcase/default.php(create directory and file if they do not currently exist)

Without overrides, your changes are not protected from future updates.

Hello Raymond

Im afraid I dont know how to do that. Im not very familiar with programming

Hey Hedi,

It's pretty easy, you just need to copy the file that you modified into the path that Raymond specified /templates/JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/mod_easyblogshowcase/ and you are good to go

The folder wouldn't exists, but you can just create it with your FTP

Hi Mark

I send you a screenshot just to double check if this is correct !

Thanks again
Hedi

Yep, you need to copy that default.php file into /templates/YOUR_JOOMLA_TEMPLATE/html/mod_easyblogshowcase/

Great ! Thank you again ....I think that is what I did !

Best regards
Hedi

You're most welcome Hedi.

Regards.

While adding all sorts of News, Events etc. I come across another issue !

I have added pictures to one article and I dont want them to be shown on the showcase !

Best regards,
Hedi

Do you mean you want to hide images from being displayed in the showcase module? If that is the case, you could turn these options off, http://take.ms/iB0FI

Yes, I turned this option off, and it still shows an image. I dont have a cover image, but in the article itself I have 2 images. And 1 of them it shows at the top inside the showcase !

Hedi

Hey Hedi,

I tried to check your site and it seems like those options are enabled. I have disabled them for you, http://take.ms/2It4Q and the image is no longer showing up on the home now

Hey Mark......oh I thought I have to enable them

Thank you again very much !

Hedi

Ah, not a problem at all Just for your information, it needs to be disabled instead of enabled because by enabling it, you are configuring the module to display the images

Have a great weekend ahead Hedi!
