"Read More" external-pointing link/form, & can linklist have comments?

Hi,

I have a list of links displayed via the linklist tag…. these are all external links… currently I show the description with the link…. I would like to have a “Read More” link that, when clicked, takes the user to the external site where the full article/content is located.

The “txp:linkdesctitle” is close to what I want, but I want the link text to say “Read More”. How would I go about this?

Also, is it possible to setup comments for each link via the linklist?

TIA. :)

TP is pretty cool. So far way better than EE imho.

Cheers,
Micky

txp:linklist uses a form (use the “form” attribute). If you look at Link under your forms tab it would show you a good example of one.
Also check linklist .

Not at present. An alternative would be to power your links with articles, rather than the links system.
