Hi,

Re: The page at: http://whazzat.org/share-wonder.html

I have set the "Show read more" option to "Yes" in the backend at Komento>>Integrations>>Easy Blog>>Layout>>Frontpage.

However, I do not see any "read more" link on the comment.

How do I fix this?

TIA - Jeff.
Hello Jeff Suddaby,

Sorry for late reply to this,
Yes, this is the Komento Comments Module to display all comments on the site - which, I'm thinking, is what the "FrontPage" tab in the Komento backend is referring to.

When I adjust the "Max comment length" number in the Komento "FrontPage" tab, it truncates the text in the comment, as predicted - and adds an ellipsis at the truncation point.

But it does not add a readMore link, so the reader can access the rest of the comment.

Actually this option is not control the module, the purpose of the "show read more" option is for display the read more button in the article page, check my screenshot : http://screencast.com/t/ZPKnsJ3LL

If you would like to change the date/time permalink to "Read More", you can modify on this file -> JoomlaFolder\modules\mod_komento_comments\tmpl\default.php


//LINE 31

			$row->comment = JString::substr( $row->comment, 0, $params->get( 'maxcommentlength' ) ) . '...';

				

//Replace with



			$row->comment = JString::substr( $row->comment, 0, $params->get( 'maxcommentlength' ) ) . '...' . ' <a href="'. $row->permalink .'">Read More</a>';

Hope this help.

Hello Jeff,

The "readmore" links are only applicable on article pages but on the page at http://whazzat.org/share-wonder.html , it seems like this is a module?

Hi Mark,

Yes, this is the Komento Comments Module to display all comments on the site - which, I'm thinking, is what the "FrontPage" tab in the Komento backend is referring to.

When I adjust the "Max comment length" number in the Komento "FrontPage" tab, it truncates the text in the comment, as predicted - and adds an ellipsis at the truncation point.

But it does not add a readMore link, so the reader can access the rest of the comment.

(The date/time under the Comment-Intro DOES access the full comment - but I don't think most users will realize this - because they will be looking for a link that says "readMore" after they have seen the ellipsis. Can I change the text of the dateTime stamp to read "Read More," instead of displaying the date & time?)

But maybe I am completely misunderstanding the proper use of the Komento Comments Module...?

Please advise. - Jeff.
