[FA+] Pages New Threads look help

[GazCBG]

Hi,

I am trying to change the look of my home page, which is using 'Pages' with various modules on it and some text.

The main change I want to make is with the 'New Threads' widget using Expanded display style;.

1. I would like to limit how many words are displayed per post with a Read More link to the post (I did this a few years back but not sure how on XF1).

2. I would like to remove the line under the title with Username Date Posted Forum posted in a Replies, but only on this page, not the forum itself.

Thanks.

Problem 2 sorted out by adding this in the page code, for that page only.

<xf:css>
.message-attribution{display:none}
</xf:css>

Worked it out now

{{ bb_code(snippet($post.message, 500), 'post', $post) }}

How do I add the Read More link to this?

There should already be a Continue reading... link at the bottom if the post is too long, is that not showing for you?

Hi,

There is no read more links on either Default or FA+.
I editted the widget_new_threads template.

Thanks

I suppose below your bb_code snippet edit, just add:

<a href="{ link('forums', $thread.Forum) }}" class="button">Read more</a>

does that work for you?

Hi,

Yes it does but had to add an extra { before link for it to work, but all good now.
I have:

<a href="{{ link('threads', $thread) }}" class="button" style="float:right;">Read more</a>

Thank you
