Read More was created by Jeff Davis

By default when clicking on the read more link the intro text is displayed in a larger font size and bold, is there any way to disable this?

Also unlike standard Joomla the read more link displays whether there is any read more text or not, is it necessary to manually set the parameters for each item?

Thanks for your help

Regards

Jeff

Jeff,

Introtext:
Check the CSS (k2.css) file for itemintrotext. It shows bold..

I was having the same issue, Introtext becomes bold fonts when you insert Read More.

I found that there are two (2) K2.CSS files. The first one is located in \com_k2\css directory. That's not the one you want. I edited that file, and produced no results. I discovered that the second K2.CSS file which is actually being used is located in root-domain\templates\the-template-you-are-using\css. I edited that file, and it worked.

Hope it works for you.

I was just wondering why K2 Developers not made this a user option that can be easily changed in the backend. Why do you have to bold the introtext in large fonts? It looks ugly to me, although it may be fine to other people.

Another alternative is to simply remove the div class reference in the item.php file:

just delete the div tags (top and bottom) and leave the php code as is...

~~<div class="itemIntroText">~~
<?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?>
~~</div>~~

Information about why there are sometimes two k2.css files and why you should make changes in the second one: Templating with K2 (and the concepts of sub-templates)
