Hi:

Day 1 using Drupal and I have to say it was the easiest CRM I ever configured. I was shocked how small it is, then saw that I have to install modules as I want them, which I think is great. It doesnt make the crm so overwhelming to learn out the gate.

After posting my first Story (welcome message) to my site, when I go to the site as "joe user" I get the headline and title, and the first line with a "read more" link. I have been looking in the admin for a way to disable the "read more" link, having the site show the complete articles by defaults. Is there a way to currently set the site to show complete articles by default or perhaps is there another approach I haven't learned of yet? (perhaps not entering the message in the story item in the content manager?)

Thank you for this great little CRM App, I think I am going to enjoy using it !

David

Welcome to Drupal, David. I am no means a developer and only use Drupal for my site, but find it insanely addictive and powerful to use.

Go to Content Management and then Post Settings in your Administer settings and you can set your stories to whatever length you like...including Unlimited like it sounds you want.

Good luck.

If I remember right. it works as follows:

go to admin >> settings >> posts

set "Length of trimmed posts" to "unlimited".

Note that this will only affect new or updated content - so you will need to go back and fiddle with existing content to get it to take effect.

Thank you both for your post. I did edit the post settings, then simply edited the story, deleted a return and then saved the changes (submit) and the front page now displays the whole article!!
thank you
David

There is also a simple css work around to accomplish that...
find the 'div class' and in the style.css file add the following line:

#name_of_the_div_class {display:none;}
...and never see that again...
