In the post template change {the_content} to
{the_content more_link_text="TEXT YOU WANT TO USE"}

Aww bless, just Shana is fine
Go to Manage, Files and scroll down and choose the post template file. There you'll see
replace that with
| Code: | | {the_content more_link_text="TEXT YOU WANT TO USE"} |
Then when posting, if you're using the plain text editor there's a 'more' link, or you can add it manually, where you want the break as:
I'm sure there's a corresponding button on the WYSIWYG.

Shana,
So if you want all the posts on your homepage to be excerpts how do you do this.
I don't want to have to re-edit every post and put in the ...more code.
Are you saying by putting that code in the post template that all the posts on the homepage will show up as excerpts |

One thing thst i cannot understand. Why would someone want a read more link?
When searching i hate the fact that i have to click on read more.
IMHO |

Yes, you put the code in the post template and if you use the 'more' tag you get an excerpt, being the portion of text above the 'more' tag.
I'm not sure if there's another way to produce excerpts without re-editing all the posts 
Or if, by virtue of the fact you've added the code in the post template, it will cut it off.

I hate it when you go to a blog and they have endless long posts that go on and on, I won't scroll down, I just move on.
That's why for long posts, I chop 'em off!

|
|
Hi,
I've been searching for hours for answer to this... I've looked through the codex, the smarty site and schinkles (did I spell that right?) site. I don't know enough about the "language" to effectively seek an answer on my own. Anyway, I want to do something similar to what has been explained in this thread. I would like to show a portion of the post text in the "recent posts" menu instead of just the title. Any help would be very appreciated, my eyes are getting very tired from searching 
Thanks!
Lisa |

OK, that all works (and actually if you just want the default more_text = More.... you don't have to do anything.
How would I format the link text to say the following?
| Quote: | | Continue reading post_title... |
Do I just use the smarty tag {the title} in the more_link_text, or does it require something more? |
