No Teasers

Unless I do not understand the description you made, it looks like the exact description of what this module is supposed to be doing.

Could you explain what you were expecting and what you got instead ? Maybe the problem is with the word "teaser", which carries a specific meaning in Drupal. In the case of taxonews, this teaser (in the general sense) is the article title (in the Drupal sense) not the teaser (in the Drupal sense), because teasers (in the Drupal) sense) would be much too heavy in most cases to display in a side block.

However, the module still allows you to use teasers in the Drupal (sense): you just have to override theme_taxonews_block_view($delta, $items = NULL) in your theme: this themeable function was created to allow users to redefine the actual content of the block.

This being said, the wording in the module description could be made more accurate: I'm rewording it.

>>you just have to override theme_taxonews_block_view($delta, $items = NULL) in your theme: this themeable function was created to allow users to redefine the actual content of the block.<<

That's the fix that I was looking for and, yes, as a relative newbie I was confused on terms. Teaser to me means the first x characters of the body text.

I haven't used Drupal for some time. As functionality increases (and it has - dramatically) so does the complexity.

Thank you for your valued help.

Thanks for your confirmation. I think the new wording for the module description will avoid such problems. What do you think of it ?

No answer after more than two weeks. Marking fixed.

hi, i have previosly used a homemade block php function to display the first 100 chars of the news, how would I theme the function you are talking about to allow say 100 chars as a teaser?

thanks for a great module, and perhaps this should be under a feature request instead, 'cause I belive that there are others facing the same problem as me. (people that wanna have an option for showing the teasers as well as only the titles.)
