Hi,

I am struggling with implementing the Read More link module. I installed it, activated it, but the read more link does not appear at the end of the teaser (the view consists of node: title and node: teaser - trimmed to 300 characters).

So I added the 'node: link' field in the view, and renamed it to 'read more'. But the 'read more' link does not appear after the ellipsis the way I want it. Instead, it appears 2 lines under the trimmed teaser.

How can I let it appear right after the ellipsis?

Checking the 'Remove Read More link from links section' and selecting: 'Inline: Try to add the Read More link after the last word of the teaser. If this fails, add the link on a new line after the teaser', does not seem to work at all...

Someone who can help me out?

Thanks very much

Lowering the priority. ("Critical" priority is reserved for security issues, DB errors, and other site-compromising or -crashing stuff.)

You say the teaser is being trimmed to 300 characters. Are you using Drupal's core teaser setting for this, or are you using a third-party module or doing this inside your theme?

Hi Todd,

Thanx for the reply & sorry for putting the priority on Critical. I'm a newbie on this forum.

The teaser is being trimmed to 300 characters by Drupal's core teaser settings, so by editing the 'Node: teaser' field in the view. I checked 'Trim this field to a maximum length', selecting '300' etc.

Thanx again,
Jo

I found a solution here:

The solution is in #15. Works fine with me.

Now I want to adjust the look of the Read more link. Any ideas on how to do that?

Jokes: So you were using Views the whole time?

Jokes: Ah, yes -- I just saw it in your previous post: "...by editing the 'Node: teaser' field in the view."

This module isn't intended to supply anything to Views. Read More link will only work with default node teasers.
