When you choose to truncate a news/blog entry, it truncates the text regardless of whether or not open html tags have been closed. This can completely mess up the page. For example, the last bit of the message before truncation can end up like "<b>something bo...", never closing the <b> tag and subsequently making everything thereafter bold. Even worse, it could end up like "blah blah <a ...", which could cause even more havoc.

Additionally, there's currently no option to have it display a "More..." link, even though there is an empty div tag that seems like it was supposed to be used for that. I had to enter the link using some pretty ugly JavaScript hacks.

illuminaut, this is not a bug, this is optimization. you can set more symbols for brief description truncating or use the field specially for brief description.

Is there a "Read more..." link in long blog entries? Because if there is, I think mine's missing. sad My entry was cut but the link wasn't there unlike for Site News (I've seen it in my Site News). I don't think I've removed it accidentally when I was tweaking the blog code... Or may be I did?

Anyway, just wanna make sure if there really is. And if so, how do I cure it so it will show up again? Thank you!

shioan, CP -> Substitution of default phrases -> Edit "Read more"

I'm not "man", "sir" or whatever. I'm female!

warezmgl, CP -> Site News -> Module settings -> Show brief version of the text if it is too long: put a check mark and "read more" will appear automatically.

Juhosy, just don't enable "Show brief version of the text if it is too long" in module settings for Site News.

I made a mistake and changed something in one of the modules that has something to do with my Site news i believe

If you look at my site http://the5thinfantry.ucoz.com/

The Site news entries on the main page are compressed now and for some reason they don't show any detail anymore like they did before. however if you click the on the entire you can see all the information that was there, before the change was made .., how can i get them to expand and display information and detail like before, ..

PhantomMilitant, probably you haven't filled the brief description field. If you don't want to use this field and still want to see some details of each entry then do the following: go to CP -> Site News -> Module settings -> Form fields for entry addition -> uncheck "Entry brief description". A new option will appear below - "Show brief version of the text if it is too long". Check it and enter the necessary number of characters.

I've always encountered with this error "Text length in the field "Entry full text" exceeds maximal value". Is there any other way for us to maximize / add more characters to our entry? prefer to posy it in only one entry..
