Universal Module showing readmore for all articles

Hello,

I have a universal module displaying one random article at a time for a specific category. Not all articles have a readmore in the Joomla core description field, but every article in the module is showing a readmore button.

Is it possible to only show the button for articles that actually have a readmore?

Thank you

Hello


the module will only show a part of the article description,
thus not all article of article description is shown
-- the parameter "read more" is not related to read more break inside the article's text

that is why the parameter "read more" shows this link
so ... the parameter could have been called "Add link to article at bottom"

For your case can disable the article read more in the parameters
then users will click the item title (and/or item image if image is also set to be linked) to open the article

Furthermore you can duplicate the layout (see instructions inside module configuration of duplicating a layout) and customize it

Thank you - I was able to hide the readmore and create a custom layout that would only show the readmore link when there was one within the article body.

In case it's useful to anyone in the future, this ios the code that was changed in the readmore section:

<?php if ($mod_readmore) : ?>

<?php
$temp_array = (array) $item;
$fulltext = $temp_array->fulltext;

$fulltextLength = strlen($fulltext);

if ($fulltextLength > 0) { ?>
<div class="fc_block">
<div class="fcitem_readon">
<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" class="readon">
<span><?php echo JText::_('FLEXI_MOD_READ_MORE'); ?></span>
</a>
</div>
</div>
<?php
}else{
}
?>

<?php endif; ?>

<div class="clearfix"></div>

</div> <!-- EOF item's content -->
<?php endif; ?>

oh cool thanks !
