Re: How to add Read More in Custom Modules!!!
First of all, let me welcome you to the Joomla forum.
As you have found, the build in "Custom HTML" module does not support the "Read More" button.
So there are a few ways you can get past this.
One, you could continue to use the "Custom HTML" module and manually add a "read more" button to the text ... and link that button to the article that you want to show when the person click's the "read more."
So, you would need the beginning of the article in the module, and then the rest of the body of the article in a standard Joomla article.
But, you could also use a Joomla extension that DOES support the "read more."
I have often used this extension to place an article in a module position:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... -embed/498
Another one I have used is this one:
http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... mbed/10799
Using the first link I gave you, it installs a new type of module ... where you can give this module an article number, and it will display the article in a module position ... including the "read more" option.
It is quite useful for things like what you are trying to do.
I hope that helps, and again, welcome to the Joomla forum.

SOLUTION
In Your Custom HTML module click HTML button to view HTML source code and insert at the end:
Pros and Cons:

+ looks like other Read More buttons (class="readon")
- manual links

Re: How to add Read More in Custom Modules!!!
Hi There... Is this code:
<p><a class="readon" href="link to Your article or other thing"> Read more…</a></p>
Entered where you want the 'readmore' to appear? Or as you say 'at the end' of the custom HTML?
Quote: "In Your Custom HTML module click HTML button to view HTML source code and insert at the end"
If so, how do you control the location...
I suppose you can show only as much article as you want, place the 'code' and then the link will appear and take you directly to the article... I am thinking this is what you have devised for this...

Another thing that should be standard embedded in joomla. Man what a messy software.

I get a link to a 404 category not found page.One, you could continue to use the "Custom HTML" module and manually add a "read more" button to the text ... and link that button to the article that you want to show when the person click's the "read more."
