Choosing between Full Text and Summary Wordpress 2.1

I just tried out a new skin which I like except that all of the posts are diplayed as a summary rather then a full text post. What can you change to make it like the default where the whole post is shown.

The Options tab only allows you to change this for feeds, not for actual posts.

 

This would be in the actuall template itself. I have done this mod on a few sites. Sorry dont have the code in front of me.


If you are talking the index and category pages the template would be index.php
if its on the post page, it would be single.php most likely.

i liked it at first on the listing page, but am moving the the <more> tag to get away from the dupe filter from syndicate partners that pick up the content via my RSS.

 

If you switch to a more tag in 2.1 , post it here. Otherwise I will work on doing it myself

Cheers

 

Post the index page code... (I'll recognise the tag when I see it).

 

Heres an example for a theme I was interested in

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="heading">
	<div id="header">
	<h1><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
	<h2><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></h2>
	</div>
</div>


<div id="content">
<div id="navigation">
<ul id="minitabs">
<?php /* If this is the frontpage */ if ( is_home() ) { ?>
<li class="current_page_item"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home');?>">Home</a></li><?php } else { ?>
<li class="page_item"><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home');?>">Home</a></li>
<?php } ?>
	<?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?>
</ul>
</div>

<div id="main">

	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
	
<div class="entry">

<h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
<p class="meta">Posted by <?php the_author(); ?> on <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> &#8212; in <?php the_category(', ') ?></p>

	<?php the_excerpt('read more'); ?>

 <p class="postmetadata"><?php edit_post_link('Edit','','<strong>|</strong>'); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments &#187;', '1 Comment &#187;', '% Comments &#187;'); ?></p> 
				
				<!--
				<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
				-->

</div>
<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>

		<?php endwhile; ?>

		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php posts_nav_link('','','&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries &raquo;','') ?></div>
		</div>    
		<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_post('&laquo; %', '', 'yes'); ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php next_post('% &raquo;', '', 'yes'); ?></div>
		</div>

	<?php else : ?>

	<h3>Not found</h3>

<p>Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>

	<?php endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

PHP:

 

I also just switched the theme at www.yfs1.com so you can see how it displays

 

Replace <?php the_excerpt('read more'); ?>

With <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

That should do it...

 

Worked

If I want to remove a few of the Meta links, can that be done thorugh the control panel (couldn't find it) or do I have to do it in the code?

 

Nevermind, looking at the sidebar it seems to be hard coded so I will just remove them from there

Cheers

 

I needed this actually. Thanks!
