#FullText Field in Category Blog Layout Basic Parameters

[pmu]

WHAT
When I use the Category Blog Layout, I would like to be able to view ALL my articles in FullText, not only in IntroText.

HOW
Add a # FullText Field in the Basic Parameters of the Category Blog Layout Item Type:
Then, when using Following settings, it should give me ALL (999) my articles in a FullText Blog.
# Leading = 1
# Intro = 0
# FullText = 999
Columns = 1
# Links = 999

Thanx!

Why do you set the readmore when you don't need it?

I would like to use them both in two different menu item structures, one blog with IntroText only, the other blog with FullText.

This feature is already possible with a template override. Moving this one to "denied"

Around line 108 or 109 template/your-template/html/content/com_content/category/blog_item.php, replace:

Code: Select all

<?php echo (JFilterOutput::ampReplace($this->item->text)); ?>

With something like (where sectionid, or categoryid if you prefer, represents the section or category where you want full text in blog view):

Code: Select all

<?php if ($this->item->sectionid == 5) : 
	echo JFilterOutput::ampReplace($this->item->fulltext);?>
	<?php else :
	echo JFilterOutput::ampReplace($this->item->introtext);
endif; ?>

That way you can still have blogs that function the core way.

Hi,

I realise the suggestion has been denied because it can be achieved with a template override, but I'd just like to add my voice to the fact that I think it would be a good modification to a core component .. greater flexibility and should be relatively simple to implement.

Where can I find that line? Using Joomla 1.5 I can't find what you're referring to.

Look in the beez modifications if using tableless Joomla! and copy the page to which I refer above into your template's html folder.

And what should I write if I want my sections to be ordinary blog layout but all my categries to show full text? I am not a php-coder so if someone can help me with very exact instructions I would be very greatful!
