Add anchor to "read more"-links

[fidelityhh]

Hi,

I've added a named anchor in my Joomla 1.5.15 site. I figured out how to append the "#contentanchor"-string to my menu links but I can't find a working solution to add the same string to my read more links.

Furthermore, I use the mod_newsflash module to show intros of some articles (followed by the read more link) and I'm not completely sure if I need to change something in the module code or somewhere in joomla core.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Jan

Hi...

Do you mean that you want to change Read More text with your text ?
If so then visit this discussion :

or use extensions : Alternative Readmore link >>> http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... links/5279

Hi Ghonjez,

thanks for your answer!

Unfortunately I'm still looking for the right solution. Maybe I described the problem not detailed enough.

I don't want to change the text of the read more link, nor use an image or anything else (like the alternative readmore extension offers).

What I want is to "hardcode" a named anchor after the link, e.g. "/newsarticle1.html" (SEF turned on) changes to "/newsarticle1.html#anchor".

I figured out how to do that for mod_mainmenu but I still have no clue how to do that for the read more links.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks a lot... regards, Jan

I am looking for an answer to this question too, but in Joomla 3.x.

The way "Read More" works by default doesn't make sense to me. A user comes to the website, reads the introduction to an article, and then clicks "Read More". A new page loads that shows the full article, and the user has to scroll down to figure out where the end of the introduction is in order to continue reading.

I understand there is an article parameter to hide the intro text, but this means anyone accessing the article's URL directly never sees the introduction text, which is not desirable either.

For example:

http://incyanity.net/ - The most recent featured article is "realMyst". After the introduction, click "Read More". The read more URL is:
http://incyanity.net/index.php/book-of-days/34-realmyst

I would prefer the read more URL to be something like:
http://incyanity.net/index.php/book-of- ... t#readmore

Correspondingly, the "read more" code in the article would have to be changed to something like:

Code: Select all

<a name="readmore"></a><hr id="system-readmore" />

That way, when someone clicks "Read More" they are automatically jumped down the page to where they can continue reading, whereas someone who accesses the article's URL without the anchor will still be presented with the full article including introduction.

Can this be achieved via overrides?
