Read More link

Read More Tweak

UPDATE (2009-02-25): This module is now being maintained by Todd Nienkerk at Four Kitchens.

News Flash: Help make this feature a part of Drupal 7 Core!

This feature (but not necessarily this implementation) really ought to be in Drupal core.

Please visit #16161: Move Read More link to end of node content and register your support.

About the Read More link module

This very simple module relocates the read more link placement so that casual users will notice it. (In my experience, Drupal's standard "Read More" link placement is nearly invisible to most non-Drupalistas, so if you are running a site visited mostly by typical web users, this module might be for you.)

The module allows you to relocate the "Read More" link from the theme's links block to put it inline with the teaser text, or just below it. This helps casual users notice the "Read More" link.

Background

This module implements the very cool tweak described on AngryDonuts.com. It's a simple module, and it has all the limitations found in the original tweak. Even so, it can be a major step forward in helping visitors use your site.

Styling the Read More link

The Read More link style can be modified by adding the following to your theme's stylesheet (usually style.css):

span.read-more {
  /* whatever style you want here */
  }

Drupal 6 Release Confusion

The previous maintainer mis-tagged the Drupal 6 official release. A 4.0 release escaped prematurely, and it couldn't be recalled. If you have downloaded and installed the 4.0 release, you will see warnings from your Drupal 6 installation telling you that your version is no longer supported. You can ignore these warnings, or you can download and install the 3.0 release.

Please don't create an issue about this annoyance.
