Hello,
I can't find if there is another topic about this, but I have a problem after installing the latest version of K2 at a couple of sites. I upgraded from the prelease.

Below ALL articles the "read more" link is displayed, even if there is NO fulltext.

How to fix this?

No one else with the same problem? And nobody a sollution for this problem? I have this problem on 2 sites now, both after a upgrade.

Lo
i think that read more is not based on part if there is a "intro" and "full" text in article. "Read more" is workin like on/off switch. You can enable it or disable it, and if you have in mind that you have option for link in title sometimes it is not needed. So if you dont wanna to be displayed disable it.

I am not sure about that. In previous releases of K2 and in Joomla core content manager the "read more" is only shown when there is a fulltext.
Someone of the K2 developers team who can clear this out for me?

Hi, i'm modifying a lot for my needs in the moment, so i found one solution for this. I made the changes/addings of code in the modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/Default/default.php, but i think it works also in the components of k2 in the templates...
you've just to ask, if there is fulltext, put the if code around the readmore code from k2 module

if ($item->fulltext != '') {;
readmore k2 code
}

Found a solution: You need to modify the file com_k2/templates/{your template}/category_item.php

on line 264. I'd post the code but I can't work out how... Its pretty easy though ;)

Put your code in a text file and upload here as attachment

oh yeah, good thinking - have included the fulll source files.

in category_item.php, look at line 264

Also, if you're using tag-based navigation, you'll also need to make a similar change to com_k2/templates/generic.php, on line 113

These code files are for version 2.4.1 btw...

Thank you so much!

Hey, just wanted to say thanks - the category_item.php edit worked just fine :)

For info, used it on a site using Joomla v1.5.22, K2 v2.4.1 and a modified Rockettheme Gantry template (blank / core version) using the custom_html over-rides, if that helps anyone.

 

Thanks again!
