How to display "Read more" after $content

Posted by tobe on February 22, 2008 at 9:53pm

I want the "Read more" link to be displayed right behind the teaser. Not in a new line, and not in the $links section. I managed to strip out the "Read more" tag from the $links array, but now it's just showing up right beneath the teaser. I want it to be shown right after the last word in the teasers $content.

Here is the code in my node.tpl.php:

<div class="content"><?php print $content?></div>
    <div class="kreta"><?php
// Extract "read more" link from $links so we can display it separately.
if (preg_match('!<a[^>]+>'.t('Read more').'</a>!', $links, $match)) {
  $links = preg_replace(/<a.+?href.+?>'.t('Read more').'<\/a>/i', '', $links);
  $more = '<div class="links">'. $match[0] . '</div>';
  $more = str_replace ("Read more", "Read the rest of the posting...", $more);
}
else {
  $more = '<span class="readmore-fill"></span>';
}

if ($more) { print $more; }

?>
    </div>
    <div class="meta">
    
    <?php if ($links) { ?><div class="links"><?php print $links?></div><?php }; ?>
    <div style="clear: both;"> </div>
    </div>

You could try removing the paragraph tags in the content variable in the node.tpl.php file.
$content = trim($content, '<p>');

I need the <p>

It looks like I need the <p> tag to hold together my theme layout. I'm not an advanced programmer. The Hack above to separate the "Read more" link from $links I got from some website. That means I don't always know what the code actually does.

Is there a way to get the "Read more" link inside the $content content. So that it would be displayed right after the last word in the teaser?
