Quotes block - only teaser length

Posted by Lostmonkey on October 3, 2008 at 9:43pm

Issue Summary

It seems that the text in my quotes block is cut short i.e. only being displayed as teaser length. Is it possible to change this to full length?
Thanks,
Mikkel

There is a "Maximum quote length" setting in the block configuration. Have you tried that?

I don't see this setting anywhere when I select 'configure' for the quote block? ..

Look in views

@Lostmonkey: It must just be in the -dev release. It should be stable enough to use.

@brightondesigns: Please don't advocate Views in my module queues.

Hmm .. I just tried changing to the dev-release, but I get errors when I run the update script so maybe it isn't entirely stabel, hope I didn't mess up my installation.

What errors? It's hard to fix something when it's not described well enough for me to locate.

Just ran update.php and with the Quotes-module I get these errors (have inserted XXX instead of my site address):

Well, the first thing I see os that you appear to have run the update more than once - that's why all the "duplicates." It does look like there may be a real error there on the 4th one. The last two are probably artifacts of the other failures, but are not part of Quotes.

I will look into the one error and whether or not I can find a way to prevent duplicates.
