Bulletproof "continue reading" link truncation

Post by nqdenise »

I'm using the Bulletproof theme on my site. I normally use the "extended body" area so my posts are in two parts. On the homepage, when browsing the first part to each post, there's the link at the bottom that reads "Continue reading "(message title)... > that brings visitors to the latter part of each post.

The thing is, my post titles are normally pretty long, and it's truncating the message title in this text link. I remember browsing these forums once, and finding instructions on how to stop the title truncation. However, tonight I'm drawing a blank. I'm not finding anything when searching these forums. Or, maybe I actually saw the instructions somewhere else?

If no one knows how to turn off the truncation, can someone at least point me to where the text link is created. I am new to PHP and CSS and I've looked thru the Bulletproof files and can't figure out where this is happening. (I know Perl far better!!)

Thanks..... Denise

Hi!

Actually this was posted in german here:

http://board.s9y.org/viewtopic.php?t=13 ... nuereading

But maybe you can understand the code samples? You need to do this inside templates/bulletproof/entries.tpl, search for "continue_reading".

HTH,
