Need to change 'read more' text to button was created by Chris Hogan
Hi there,

I have searched everywhere for this issue I have and I'm no closer to finding an answer.

There are a couple of queries like this but I cannot find how to make this change!
Is there any way to change the Read More...text link - to a Button??

PS: It used to show up on standard Joomla articles

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

You can use Joomla!'s language overrides.
docs.joomla.org/J3.x:Language_Overrides_in_Joomla

The language string is K2_READ_MORE

Hi there,

Thanks but I did previously try this method although, I don't need to change the text....I need to change the text in to a <button>!

Please advise.

Chris.

Hi.

If you want to change the text into a button, you should go to:

"template/mytemplate/html/mod_k2_content/customfolder/default.php"

Where "customfolder" should be a custom template, don't edit the Default, ok?

Now, find this:

<?php if($params->get('itemReadMore') && $item->fulltext): ?>
<a class="moduleItemReadMore" href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>"> <?php echo JText::_('K2_READ_MORE'); ?> </a>
<?php endif; ?>

The second line above it's the link you want to edit into a button.

Best luck!

The same method can be applied to the other lists (component).
