I know you do not provide free support for CSS issues; however, I have scoured the css and theme spcific php files and cannot find any reference to the text within the readmore link. I simply want to remove the ellipsis from the end changing it from "Read more..." to "Read more"

new ddblock-cycle-block-content-mygradientgreen.tpl_.php_.txt4.49 KB

Sorry about the double issue then, I read that one and thought it pertained to foreign translation installations; because I searched all my .php files (template.php, ddblock-cycle-block-content-upright50.tpl.php) for the string (as found in #1 of http://drupal.org/node/470860) function template_preprocess_ddblock_cycle_block_content(&$vars) {" and couldn't find it.

I also tried inserting the code snippet from #3 of the same thread into both into both ddblock-cycle-block-content-upright50.tpl.php and my custom ddblock-cycle-block-content-mygradientgreen.tpl.php and could not get that solution to work either.

I inserted it after line #63 in ddblock-cycle-block-content-upright50.tpl.php and line#76 in my custom template (after the identical lines of code as in ddblock-cycle-block-content-upright50.tpl.php) but no luck either way.

I attached the php file, and if you could have a look (if you have time) that would be excellent, if not I can just keep playing around with it and cross my fingers.

This feature will certainly be a welcome addition to the next release version :)

Thanks again for your help with everything!

Feel free to merge this thread or move it or whatever with the other, or simply delete it and i can repost this in the http://drupal.org/node/470860 thread.

Ok, your case is more simple then in the issues I referred to as this being a duplicate of.

In your case you can simply change the "Read more..." text into "Read more" in the following part of the content preprocess function in the template.php file of the theme you use.

          // add slide_read_more variable and slide_node variable
          if (isset($result->nid)) {
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_read_more'] =  l('Read more...', 'node/' . $result->nid);
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_node'] =  base_path() . 'node/' . $result->nid;
          }

becomes

          // add slide_read_more variable and slide_node variable
          if (isset($result->nid)) {
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_read_more'] =  l('Read more', 'node/' . $result->nid);
            $slider_items[$key1]['slide_node'] =  base_path() . 'node/' . $result->nid;
          }

Hope this helps you further, please let me know.

Once again, you have solved my problem perfectly! You know, I tried every convoluted thing I could think of but never tried simply removing the ellipsis and I even came across that string a half dozen times and it never occurred to me to even try simply deleting the characters I didn't want.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

That is actually probably better addressed in the following thread. I am no expert on this module, but at least this will point you in the right direction.
