How to adjust the result of the more quicktag

  • I checked the forums and the Wiki about the more quicktag that is used to split up a post between teaser and remainder of text.
    My problem is with how it works: when clicking the more in a post, it shows you exactly that, the text that follows where the tag was placed.
    I would like to know how to tweak it so that when you click the more, it shows the entire text, starting from the beginning, not from where the more is placed. Can anyone help, please?

  • Benoit,
    This question has been raised before. I’ll see what I can do to help you find an answer.

    What if you only displayed an excerpt, except when the actual post is viewed? This wouldn’t even require the more then.

    Thanks Craig.
    MTD, what I’m hoping for is something like I was using in MT. I’d have a set number of posts showing on the index page, and for each one the “more” tag let you view the entire post, while remaining on the index page, not moving to the individual post page.
    Right now, the “more” tag doesn’t quite do that: it does not actually expand the post, it just takes you to the individual post page, which is quite different.
    I’m not even sure the “more” tag can do what I’m hoping for on the index page, but if at least it can be made to show the post from the start, it can be a compromise I can live with until I figure how to hack it to do what I want. Being new at php, that may take a while ??

    A little bit of involved searching lead to this

    that might be just what you are looking for.

    The MT Extended Entry has been accomplished in WP. It is just harder to get working than it is in MT. I had a hard time getting through the B2 stuff to get to what works on WP.
    Look at this support thread. It will give you what I used to get mine working.

    Ok. So I wrote a blog post about this very thing, then came here to search for more information about this. I think I can help you. Go to template-functions-post.php and make a few changes. If you do a search for “#”, you should find a line that contains “#more-$id” and if you delete that bit of the line, that will change the link from a link to a bookmark within the page to just a link to the page.

    If you want to get rid of the bookmark too (I did, since I don’t see myself ever using it), check this out:

    I hope that helps. Let me know if it does.
