[Fixed in r1832] Help with Read More was created by alitogata

I am trying to hide Read More but without success.

I use "blog" template for my Home Menu set to show Categories. The categories shown under Home Menu are using different templates e.g. Default1, Default2 etc so I can't edit blog template through there.

In Global configuration and Menu "Read More" is set to hide. I know in blog you must change the parameters "Strip HTML tags & cut text" but how do I do it if I don't have blog assigned to any category so that I change parameters? Through the menu is not giving me the option to.

Thank you

edit your categorie_item.php and delete code directly

you can do the above, but the category layout of 'default' template is not displaying any readmore, it show 'title' and the selected fields in a table,

if you are using any other custom template that is not a duplicate of 'blog' and 'default'

then edit:
category_items.php
and
category_items_html5.php

and find:

Code:

$readmore_forced = $this->params->get('lead_strip_html', 1) == 1 ;  // option 2 strip-cuts without forcing read more

and replace with:

Code:

$readmore_forced = 0;

this is a bug in the templates since there is no 'lead_strip_html' template parameter, so the read more is always forced to on

- After patching the above , check and set the parameter "Read more" inside
Items List Creation / Item list

Regards
