Extended article space.
Hi, Very new to textpattern and wondering if there is an easy way to add an extended (hidden) text area for longer articles. Something that would be accessed with a “read more” link in the main article. I tried searching the forums but wasn’t able to find anything
thanks in advance for any suggestions,
Chas.

Re: Extended article space.
You can use the ‘excerpt’ field to display the shorter version of an article.

Thank you both, I had to read the article at the Bombsite about 4 times but it finally sunk in :)

Re: Extended article space.
The if_excerpt procedure which can be used everywhere.
A basic article form
<h2><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h2>
<txp:article_image/>
<!-- The simple if_excerpt logic -->
<txp:if_excerpt>
<txp:excerpt />
<p><txp:permlink>More...</txp:permlink></p>
<txp:else />
<txp:body />
