Comments on: How to make an intelligent ‘read more’ link in PivotX http://www.windmillwebwork.com/pivotx/how-to-make-an-intelligent-read-more-link-in-pivotx A small web design agency in Hudson, Ohio Sat, 28 Jan 2012 02:36:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: schop http://www.windmillwebwork.com/pivotx/how-to-make-an-intelligent-read-more-link-in-pivotx#comment-11 schop Mon, 02 Aug 2010 09:15:37 +0000 http://www.windmillwebwork.com/?p=158#comment-11 Thanks Hans! As you point out in your first remark, it is easy to change the location of the anchor tag, but the fact that you can't completely remove it is indeed a short coming. As for your second remark: The 'prefix' and 'postfix' parameters are there, but this results in another span or div or whatever you want around the link, while it would indeed be so much more logical to just add a class to the link. In any case, the PS to your comment shows once more that the developers of PivotX are right on the money where it comes to making changes that are useful... Thanks Hans!

Unfortunately, you can't yet use that parameter to remove the hash tag/anchor completely (by setting it to an empty string). 2) You can use the "prefix" and "postfix" parameters to add a span (around the link) with a CSS class. I agree that there should be a class by default. This is all documented at http://book.pivotx.net/page/app-b#anchor-more PS! I'll fix the two above short comings before the release of PivotX 2.1 - which is very close ... Just two remarks:

I actually very rarely use the [[ more ]] tag, just because I like to give my anchor tags a class, and I don't like the #bodyanchor part that is automatically added. I rewrote part of the post.

Never had the need to do this. In PivotX installs I run, the 'more link' is only shown when there is actually more content. That’s strange. Never had the need to do this.
