Big story of today block

Posted: Mon Sep 21, 2009 6:58 pm

Hi! I added a topic then I added news to the topic then I activated the Big story of today block and when I selectect the block on the front of the website every thing look fine except one of the block has $title at the top and the subject has a $news in it thats all you can view, this at Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! on the bottom right blocks any advise you might be able to give me thanks.

I think I narrowed down the problem to my theme.php when I do a news article and add some more paragraphs in the extention it will not show up on the front page just the first secton will so you cannot read more about the subject and you cannot post comments any comments here is the file

Code:

when I do a news article and add some more paragraphs in the extention it will not show up on the front page just the first secton will so you cannot read more about the subject and you cannot post comments

Actually, first of all, this is how news articles work. The Story Text field is what is shown on the index page. Then, your theme should have code in it to present a "Read More..." or sometimes just "Comments.." type link that takes you directly to the article page, where ALL of the text and comments are displayed.

So, if you indeed have text within the Extended Text field, then it is indeed a theme.php problem. However, if you have no text within the Extended Text field, then theme.php is doing what it is supposed to be doing.

I just checked your theme code and sure enough, the author of that theme is not checking the $morelink variable into the themeindex function and so is not providing the link. You will have to either: 1) add the code yourself, 2) don't use Extended Text, or 3) get yourself a better theme.

Ok thanks for looking at it, I will just keep it plain and simple in the articles section until I get ready to change theme out.
