  • Finally I have updated Evermore to version 2 (formerly known as “More Evermore”). This allows you to control the size and appearance of the preview. Please give it a try and let me know what you think.

  • I just installed version 2.0 .. D’oh - I came to let you know - and see that there is a new options page. I guess I will play with it ever so many days now :) Thanks Bennett!

  • I just both “evermore” and “less” and they both work perfectly.

    The best thing is you dont need to edit your themes to use these plugins.

    Simply great

    Thanks

  • I suggest that we should replace the text “(more…)” with the something like read more: [title]. Example “read more about Samsung V8890 Cell phone”. This will helps in search engine optimization.

    I will try to modify your code and see whether i can figure out a quick way to do that.

    Thanks

  • Meng Goo, the feature you mention is already built into WordPress — you can do this by editing your theme. For example, in index.php, change

    the_content('Read the rest of this entry »');

    to

    the_content('Read more about '.get_the_title());

    I suspect that it would take a lot of magic to get a plugin to do this.

  • Bennett,

    Thank you for the answer, I had the same question.

    I’d like to take it one step further…How do I change the code so I can put question marks around the title along with a ?

    So it would read- Read more about “title of page?”

    Thank you in advance

  • Scott, use this in your theme:

    the_content('Read more about “' . get_the_title() . '?”');

    and it should appear like this:

    Read more about “Title of Page?”

  • Thank you Bennett,

    I’ll be sure to give that a try!

    I appreciate all your hardwork and help!

  • Bennett,

    When I copied the line into my theme, I recieved the following error message:

    Parse error: parse error in /home/httpd/vhosts/askscottgaines.com/html/wp-content/themes/fishing/index.php on line 23

    Any ideas?

    Thank you,

    Scott Gaines

  • I didn’t mean for you to replace the entire line, just the original the_content(...) bit. But replacing the line might be easier. So here’s the easy way:

    In the default theme, open the file index.php. Find this line:

    <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry &raquo;'); ?>

    Delete it and replace with this:

    <?php the_content('Read more about &#8220;' . get_the_title() . '?&#8221;'); ?>

    It works for me; let me know if it doesn’t work for you.

  • hello, I use evermore with less and its very exiting. also I combine it with a plugin that uses more combined with ajax to imediately expand the text not jump to that post. thus you can check out the whoile text directly on the main page.

    I still have one request (if possible), could you make a mod of your plugin, maybe to have it display a text defined by me if there is a text without text, only conteining pictures?

    I would like to use tagwarrior to display all matching posts to a certain keyword. but I have textonla posts and posts containing only images.

    you cancheck it out here: http://pacura.ru and play and with the sitewide tags in the sidebar to udnerstand what exactly I mean.

    the blog is only in testing so just ignore the content for now :-)

    if you have another idea how I could combine these two types of posts with tags feel free to mail me

    regards

  • ooops, I got a far simpler idea:

    I could make a tag.php template for displaying tagged posts…

    But I have no clue how to design it, maybe for posts without content(=text) it should only display the title and as content a line saying: image only post

    ? any ideas?

    ovidiu | 6 May 2006
  • me again, :-)

    I really would like to know if it would be possible to have a post display: “This is an image only post” if a post would contain only an image (local hyperlinked image)… instead of using the default settings of showing the first x paragraphs or the first x words for a post.

    ovidiu | 6 May 2006
  • Ovidiu, That sounds like a pretty specific customisation; too specialised for a simple plugin like Evermore. Evermore only adds a “more” tag;and leaves the rest to WordPress, so having it actually insert text would be a big change — actually it would be a different plugin. If I can think of a nice, generally useful way of implementing this then I will. I must warn you that spare time is in very short supply for me, so don’t hold your breath. :)

    Bennett | 6 May 2006
  • ok so ther is actually a more tag. that means I could isntruct my template to look for more tags, if none is present change to another disply scheme…

    thx for the clarification

  • Cool plug in - thanks alot!
