Site News: Brief and full description Various ways of displaying entries are possible within Site News module. If you check “Show brief version of the text if it is too long box”, only the part of the brief version will be displayed on the page (the part limited by the option “Number of characters for a brief version”) together with “Read more” link. If you click on the link, the page with entry full text will open. Another option is to use “Entry brief description“ as a field of a new entry form. In this way the content of “Short description” field will be displayed on the main page (of site or module). And when you click on the entry name, the content of “Entry full text” will be displayed. If you forbid a user group (for example Guests) to Read entries, they will be able to see only the content of Short description on the main page. If you forbid a user group (for example Guests) to view the main page, they will not be able to see Short description of the entry. Site News module doesn't have its own main page as other catalog-modules do. That is why the code responsible for outputting news is added to Home page content by default. If you have messed up with the code when editing it – the news are not going to be displayed. The code that outputs news: Code <?if($ADD_ENTRY_LINK$)?><div align="right" style="padding-bottom:3px;">[ <a href="$ADD_ENTRY_LINK$">Add entry</a> ]</div><?endif?>$LAST_NEWS$ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Where can I set the number of characters in Short description? Control panel->Site News->Module settings-> Number of characters for a brief version The news ends up with ellipsis (dots) in Short description. Can I substitute it with my own character? Unfortunately, it is not possible. Is it possible to output only Entry name on Site News page so that the news itself will be located on the other page? Yes, it is possible. You need to hide Short description. It can be done by editing Appearance of entries template in Control panel->Design->Design management (templates)->Site news There are big spaces in the text of full description of the entry. How to fix it? Most probably you used Word to embed the text. It is highly unrecommended. Copy and paste the text into Notepad and then from the Notepad to the website. Can I use “Entry brief description” option for one news only? Unfortunately, it is not possible by means of standard system solutions. Scripts might help you. Is it possible to display news on the main page in the way they are displayed on the Page with entries full text and its comments? No. Full text can not be displayed on the main page. Can I display Entry names only? Yes, it can be done by means of Informers. See more about them here: http://forum.ucoz.com/forum/37-457-2206-16-1206353355 Another option is to edit Appearance of entries template. What is the maximum number of characters in the “Entry full text”? 40 000 characters. Where can I change “Read more” in Short description? Control panel->Substitution of default phrases->Site News Which part of Style sheet CSS is responsible for changing the color of “Read more” inscription? Control panel->Design->Design management (CSS)->class entryReadAllLink How can I substitute “Read more” inscription with an image? Control panel->Substitution of default phrases->Site News->substitute the text with HTML code of the image, like: Code <img src="..."> |
i have this post on my homepage and it shows ALL of the post. how can i get part of it hidden like there is a read more thing at the end of it or something like.
Or is it just naturally like that and i have to put more posts for it to hide it? |
the full post is not shown but it has a CONTINUE READING.
So what i am asking is does it do that the not show full post thing on its own or can we control it? is this clearer? go to buzz99.com and on the main page it says CONTINUE READING at the end of each post. The post are just little pieces of the full post. When you click on it, it thens takes you to the full post. What i want is how to make my posts like the home page of buzz99.com where it is not showing the full post just a little of it. And if this is controllable or does it automatically do it?

ChaosMagi, I suggest you use Site News module. Various ways of displaying entries are possible within Site News module. If you check “Show brief version of the text if it is too long box”(CP->Site News » Module settings), only the part of the brief version will be displayed on the page (the part limited by the option “Number of characters for a brief version”) together with “Read more” link. If you click on the link, the page with entry full text will open.

Is it posible to not show the description or Brief entry to users and only administrator will be able to see it to add a perticular code that i dont want users to see it
|
carloscompu, I think it's better to use one of custom fields for this purpose and hide it with the help of conditional operators. Of course you can do the same within a brief description (hide some part of text) but in this case you'll need to enter conditional operators each time.
I'm not active on the forum anymore. Please contact other forum staff.
