How to insert a Read more link in the body of an article #45

Closed ChaoticGood76 closed 3 years ago

ChaoticGood76 commented 4 years ago

Hello. I would like to ask if it is possible and what is the procedure, to enter a Read More link in the body of an article, to work as an expandable text for the rest of the text in the body of an article. For example, i have an article with 5 text paragraphs in its body, and i want only the first paragraph to be shown when the user first enters to the article and the the rest of the article (the remaining 4 paragraphs with text) to be shown only if the user clicks in a Read More link in the body of an article. Thank you very much for your time.

Yes you can do that but you would have to adjust the template and you need html / css knowledge

As Timo says, you can do this. I would question if it's worth the effort.

The user's choices are to look at a short summary in a list (that's the module's front page), or to click into a single article.

Once they have chosen to look at a single article it seems mean to hide some of it, making them click again to see the balance.

IMO not a module issue, but a html / css question
