Category link to show full articles, not just list?

The default behavior when clicking on category links (like the ‘filed under’ category links) seems to be to show a list of article titles rather than displaying the full content of the articles. Is there any easy way to change this behavior?

I can see that the form “article_listing” is controlling this but I’d rather not have to copy/paste the article listing code into this and then have to maintain two instances of the same code.

If you always want to show the full article, you can replace <txp:excerpt /> in the ‘article_listing’ form with <txp:body />.

Edit: ah sorry, I did not look at the contents of ‘article_listing’. Hang on a second and I’ll give you a better solution…

Okay, on the page template ‘default’ change this tag

<txp:article listform="article_listing" limit="5" />

into

<txp:article form="default" limit="5" />

That should do it.

Perfect, thanks. I’m still getting used to how Textpattern works. This makes sense now.
