I'm just playing with Drupal 7 right now, but I was trying to change the default behavior of the front page. In D6 you could go to the Administration->Post Settings page to change the number of posts and the default Teaser length of a post. I cannot find where to set the Teaser length for the front page.

I've found you can set the default # of posts on the front page at
sitename.com/admin/config/system/site-information

But the default teaser size for the front page isn't there.

If I edit the display settings for the article content type and change the trim size for the teaser from 600 to say 1,000,000 this does it globally. I guess this works, but what if I want a shorter teaser on a view or some where else?

All I really want to do is show the entire post on the front page unless I specifically set a teaser in the post. Anyone know how to do this in Drupal 7?

Also a question on Teasers in Drupal 7.
If i use a great than or less than symbol in the body it gets changed to the html equivalent < or > but in the teaser it gets changed to < and > which causes any text between these to disappear when printed on screen. (Though oddly here on this site they second group displays as the less than and greater than symbols but the first group doesn't.) Perhaps this is the CKeditor with WYSIWYG module and not drupal churning out the special character codes. It seems odd to see 2 different results from the same text in the Teaser and in the Body. Oh... and the article was set to use full HTML.

Any ideas on this or is it a bug in D7 or CKeditor and WYSIWYG module?

It's somewhere in the body field display settings for each content type.

I mentioned this about changing the body Teaser display in my post from 600 to 1,000,000 characters unless you are talking about another setting that I'm just missing?

my bad-- i missed that you wanted to change it differently in different contexts. You can either do that with views or with theming.

I am also facing the same problem.

In:

Home › Administration › Structure › Content types › Story › Manage display

Click Teaser

There is a drop down under Format change it to Default and it will take off the trimming unless you have something else setup for the default but I have not clue were you would set that up. :D

I am adding Panels to the frontpage. All I can see is title and submit info (Teaser default behaviour for Panels, I suppose), unless I press the "read more" link.

Story is not a D7 core content type, is it?
