can anyone help us?
I need the readmore button only, if I have some text in the fulltext.
If the fulltext is empty - I don't want a readmore

Thanks for your help

Hi.
There is two way to do that.
First. I you use default template without overriding and custom templating.
In your content type configuration on needed view go to button 5 and find your button field. Click on add in Conditional States column.
Set this field is hidden when your fulltext field is empty.

If you use custom teplate or override you can do that with php if/else.

Thanks for that. I think the issue is I don't have button 5 - just 1 to 4. I am using the seb_one template. Any ideas how to get button 5?

Hi all,
thank for your posts.

There is multiple way for doing that but with SEBLOD functionnality, and not Joomla functionnality

In the form :
  • 1 field for introtext
  • 1 field for fulltext

In the Item view of your search type:
  • The introtext field
  • the fulltext field
  • a freetext field with the link on it
Now, 2 solutions to display or not the readmore button:

1 - using a variation in which you make your tests and display fields like you want

2 - Using a plugin field code "BeforeRender" to modify the array "$fields":
  • test the $fields['fulltext_field']->value
  • if empty unset( $fields['readmore'] );

Hope it will help.

Regards.
Lionel

I use no "search type"

Hi Lionel

Thanks for the tips, but I'm not understanding what needs to be done. To me this seems like it should be core functionality.  

I have managed to get the Read More link to show, now I am not sure how to make this conditional to only show when FullText has content.

Thanks

This is a core functionality.  The question i would like to know is how to do this for a list view so I can use it with a module.
