I am trying to make my blog display the full article on the front page. Currently it only displays a teaser and new members are not seeing the full articles. I have tried to change the teaser length to 2000 words but this does not work. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

This should work, but only for new created nodes, it does not take effect for yet created nodes - if I`m right..

Anyway, you could add a "

" to your node/blog - put it in the last line, that should do the trick.

("

" is the manually teaser break point)

Sincerally l8a

You'll have to re-save the old articles in order for it to have any effect. Also, you can set the teaser length to 'unlimited', rather than 2000.

Perhaps something you could do is using a view. The views module let you create a "view" that suits your needs.
It is possible to create a view with only the blog items and you can tell the view to show the complete nodes instead of a teaser.
The only thing you need to do next, is tell drupal to point to your view on the frontpage instead of the normal frontpage. This can be done in you site configuration menu.
It's a better solution than temper with the teaser length i guess

I know this post is old but I found it while trying to figure out how to set the teaser length of blog posts and the entries tell you it is possible but not how. Here's how:

- For Drupal 6, go to Administer > Content Management > Post Settings OR to admin/content/node-settings

- As mentioned above, you have to resave old posts (or clear cache?) to get the new teaser length to appear.

Hi,

I have a blog on my website. It is updated every 2-3 days. I want to show them on my hompage in Recent Blog posts so that whenever it is updated,it shows a teaser of the newer one first and then keep putting the older ones below it. I tried to put the Recent blog on Left side but it just showing the name of the blog and not the contents. Only admin and some authenticated users will be updating the blog.

I saw your post on to turn off the teaser.But can you please tell me the steps on how to create one?I just need a block on the left sidebar with teasers and not on the complete home page.

Thanks,

Kaushik.
