 Posted: Wed Apr 16, 2003 12:44 am Post subject: read more javascript hack |
 |
|
this is a small hack. for those who likes the javascript extension of read more like movable type, here's the hack of how to do it.
demo here if you click on read more
first, you want to download this javascript file (right click and save target as). then open your b2template.functions.php in your b2-include directory and
find the line:
| Code: |
$output .= " <a href=\"$file?p=$id&more=1\">$more_link_text</a>";
|
and replace it with:
| Code: |
$output .= " <span id=\"varP$id\"><br /><a href=\"$file#$id\" onclick=\"showMore($id,'$file#$id');return false;\">read more »</a></span><div id=\"varXYZ$id\" style=\"display: none\">$content[1]<br /><a href=\"#$id\" onclick=\"showMore($id,0);return true;\">« hide more</a></div>";
|
save and reupload.
MAKE SURE you have
| Code: |
<script language="JavaScript" SRC="http://yourdomain/dir/oops.js"></script>
|
in your <head> and </head> or else it won't work.
then of course just like before, you write the "read more" entry with <!--more--> in b2.
that's how it worked for me. i hope it works for you, too. if not, hmm oh well.

Okay.... what am I missing?
| Code: | | $output .= " <a href=\"$file?p=$id&more=1\">$more_link_text</a>"; |
This line of code doesn't exist in my copy of b2template.functions.php. I'm running the current release, too.

I think you should look for this...
| Code: |
$output .= ' <a href="'.$siteurl.'/'.$file.$querystring_start.'p'.$querystring_equal.$id.$querystring_separator.'more'.$querystring_equal.'1#more'.$id.'">'.$more_link_text.'</a>';
|
...or something similar in "get_the_contents" function.

Cyberian75 is right. Find that code and replace it with this one:
| Code: | | $output .= '<span id="varP'.$id.'"><br /><a href="'.$file.'#'.$id.'" onclick="showMore('.$id.',\''.$file.'#'.$id.'\'); return false">read more »</a></span><div id="varXYZ'.$id.'" style="display: none">'.$content[1].'<br /><a href="#'.$id.'" onclick="showMore('.$id.',0); return true">« hide more</a></div>'; |
That should do the trick. |

I really like this hack and find it very useful, but I had a question, Before I click "more" I have it set with one <br> (see screen shot), but after I click "more" and then click on "hide" it's coming up with 2 <br> (see screenshot).....any ideas?
Images removed
Here's what I'm using (I have oops.js uploaded and it's working fine) in b2templates.functions.php I have
| Code: | | $output .= " <span id=\"varP$id\"><br /><a href=\"$file#$id\" onclick=\"showMore($id,'$file#$id');return false;\">more »</a></span><div id=\"varXYZ$id\" style=\"display: none\">$content[1]<br /><br /><a href=\"#$id\" onclick=\"showMore($id,0);return true;\">« hide</a></div>"; |

| All I can tell you is that there are two <br> tags in your code after the $content[1]. That's the only thing that's different from your code and the one on Dodo's site. |

Hi, thank you for replying. I wanted the double <br>s because after my content, I wanted the "hide" to be well seen
i.e.
end of content, blah blah!
<< hide |

| Okay, I understand what you're trying to do. So did you figure out what the problem is then? If not, I think if you put two <br> tags before "hide," you should also do that before "more." Perhaps that's why you have two <br>'s after you've clicked on "more." |

Hi.
This particular mod looks interesting, but when I copied the new code into the get content function, and place the code
| Code: |
function get_the_content($more_link_text='(more...)', $stripteaser=0, $more_file='') {
global $id,$postdata,$more,$c,$withcomments,$page,$pages,$multipage,$numpages;
global $HTTP_SERVER_VARS, $preview;
global $querystring_start, $querystring_equal, $querystring_separator;
//$output = '';
$output .= '<span id="varP'.$id.'"><br /><a href="'.$file.'#'.$id.'" onclick="showMore('.$id.',\''.$file.'#'.$id.'\'); return false">read more »</a></span><div id="varXYZ'.$id.'" style="display: none">'.$content[1].'<br /><a href="#'.$id.'" onclick="showMore('.$id.',0); return true">« hide more</a></div>'; |
Then on ever post, it just has a link "Read More" I am a bit baffled what it is and what I can do about it to work properly.
Any help appreciated. |

I tried installing this hack, and there was a tiny error, which I can't seem to fix... I'm not sure what to do, but I'll tell you what I did...
I followed every instruction except I replaced this code:
| Code: | | $output .= '<a name="more'.$id.'"></a>'.$content[1]; |
with dodo's replacement (except I customized the text (which i put here in CAPITALS):
| Code: | | $output .= " <span id=\"varP$id\"><br /><a href=\"$file#$id\" onclick=\"showMore($id,'$file#$id');return false;\">More »</a></span><div id=\"varXYZ$id\" style=\"display: none\">$content[1]<br /><a href=\"#$id\" onclick=\"showMore($id,0);return true;\">« Less</a></div>"; |
Following that I uploaded the file and placed the javascript code in my header in my index page. Well, the problem is, the <b>(more...)</b> text link still shows up instead of <b>More »</b> first!! I want to "delete" (more...), so that only <b>More »</b> would show up in replacement.
However, in my blog, you have to click b2's default (More...) link to get to the More » link, which then opens up when you click it. So, how do I fix this error?
