This ia a great tweak. I works perfectly on my site.

However, when viewing the rss feed in an aggregator, there are two read more links that show up. The read more linked produced by the 'tweak' and the orginal below the teaser. How can I eliminate the original one?

Do you see the same problem on my site (which uses ed_readmore ?)

http://exodusdev.com/rss.xml

I hate to use the term "works for me' :D but .... I don't see this happening on any of my sites that use ed_readmore, so I assume it's caused by another module. If another module is causing an additional 'read more' link to be placed in the feed, there's not much my module can do about it.

In order to help me understand what's going on, try:

1) disable ed_readmore module. Do you still see a 'read more' link in the rss feed?
2) re-enable ed_readmore module. disable other non-core modules. Do you still see two 'read more' links in the feed?

Would you mind providing a link to your RSS feed so I can see the problem?

Oh, one other suggestion: check out your rss feed outside of your aggregator - check the feed directly in a browser.

In other words, this may be your aggregator, and not ed_readmore. In that case, there's really nothing I can do for you.

Ok, there may be something I can do for you if it's the aggregator adding "read more" : I can introduce an option to disable the read more link in rss feeds, but, that means that depending on the aggregator in use, site feed subscribers may or may not see the "read more" flag.

Thanks inactivist for your quick response -- and three at that! -- and all your help.

I did what you said about disabling modules, and I found the problem to be with the excerpt module. So I edited the excerpt module so as not to include it. And then I noticed, right before my very eyes as I was testing my edited code, that just below the teaser block on the node creation page it says that it puts a 'read more' link below the teaser. I'm embarassed now. But I'm glad it was something simple and I still get to use both modules.

Sorry to have troubled you.

I just want to add, that's it's little ui tweaks such as yours that make a site more professional. I really appreciate it.

Thanks for the kind words. Actually, you can thank merlinofchaos (http://angrydonuts.com) for the idea, it was his code to start with - I just made it easy to install by putting it in a module and adding some options. But I agree that these things help make a site work a bit better, and I'm always happy to help.
