On my main page here: http://cmstester.com/ you will see that my entries are squished up. I'd like them to show a bit more but i'm not sure how to expand them. This is the blog module I am using. It's showing only 10 articles per page which i am fine with but it's cutting them off too early and I'd like to show more text before the read more tag.
How can i fix that?
anyone?
On the blogHolder template the summary is rendered as...
<p>$ParagraphSummary</p>which runs to BlogEntry->ParagraphSummary()
You could do a couple things to change it: 1) hack the ParagraphSummary() method to return any of the other Text Methods you can call - http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=htmltext
or option 2 is to change the template to use one of the Text Methods instead (if you are not using BBCode that is)
$Content.LimitWordCount(50) <!-- Returns the first 50 words of the HTML from this field for example-->If you are using BBCode then it might be a good idea to write you own method similar to the BlogEntry->ParagraphSummary()
That worked perfectly, thank you will.
