How to show all of a page on Front Page, without "read more"

By pengi on 24 Feb 2007 at 20:57 UTC

I have a pretty stock install of drupal 5.1, and would like to create a page that when promoted to the front page, is shown fully, without being clipped off, and without the "read more" thing? Do I need something like the Front Page module in order to pull this off?

You can do it easily by just placing the  code (which can be used to manually set where the clipping occurs) right at the end of your page.

Yes that works perfectly,

Yes that works perfectly, thank you. One thing I'm not clear on, I have TinyMCE installed, the page I'm working on has some html markup from that. I guess it's safe to plug in the break notation you mentioned at the end.

inserting

at the end from within the tinymce html view worked for me.

Clarification of  tag usage and location

mhilliard commented 1 March 2007 at 18:30

Dan,
I too have TinyMCE installed and I have the same issue with not wanting READ MORE showing up on my assigned front page node.

Am I correct in assuming I can open the Front page in TinyMCE editor, go into HTML mode...

and then type/insert your suggested tag

in the TEXT based display of the HTML at the END of the content I need to have displayed??

Thanks if you can confirm this, I did try it but I am not sure it is what I am supposed to do as the new front page with the "break" tag doesn't show in all my browsers.

(I am testing Mozilla, Firefox 2.x, and IE 6.0.29) but it might be a caching issue for some browsers as it appeared to work in Mozilla.

Please confirm the specific place to insert the

tag

Thanks in advance, and a huge thanks if this actually works as I needed to meet a tight deadline and this was one of my LAST problems!!

If using the moxie.module

If using the moxie.module (version of tinymce) in the modules plugins folder is a drupalbreak plugin which adds a button to the tinymce to give tinymce the ability to have a break tag. The plugin is called drupalbreak and in theory should work in any version of the tinymce module.

one can also goto adminsiter -> post settings and set the length of trimmed posts to unlimited to get the same effect i believe.

How to show all of a page without "read more"

I spent zillions of hours and a gallon of coffee configuring TinyMCE under 5.1 so it all works properly. Caveat: read all the instructions and readmes; especially the one about creating a new formatting option with no settings at all (within Drupal).

With TinyMCE on screen it shows only 'Body' there is no 'Teaser' textarea - is this normal?

The page break plugin? - yes it works for me but still that wretched 'read more' is at the bottom. How is it possible to be set it to not show? Have I missed a crucial caveat/instruction somewhere?

In the admin section, under post settings you can configure it to be unlimited.
