In this tutorial you will learn how to tweak your blog without any javascript to get a similar effect. On our homepage, all posts will show a short summary, followed by a "Read More" link. Clicking the "Read More"-link will bring up the post page with the full post text.
Step 1: Back up your template
Open the Layout|Edit HTML-tab on your Dashboard, and download the template as an XML-file to your harddisk. If anything goes wrong, upload it again and there will be no problem at all.
Step 2: Modify the template code
Scroll down and look for the following piece of code:
<div class='post-body entry-content'> <data:post.body/> <div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats --> </div>
This is the piece of template code that displays the post-body on the screen. We have to add a few lines of code here:
<div class='post-body entry-content'> <b:if cond='data:blog.homepageUrl == data:blog.url'> <style type='text/css'>.restofpost {display:none;}</style> </b:if> <data:post.body/> <b:if cond='data:post.link'> <a expr:href='data:post.link'>Read more...</a> <b:else/> <b:if cond='data:post.url'> <a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read more...</a> </b:if> </b:if> <div style='clear: both;'/> <!-- clear for photos floats --> </div>
Now save your template.
Step 3: Modify your post template
In your Blog Settings you can modify the post template. Change it to:
<div class="summary">Type summary here</div> <div class="restofpost">Type rest of post here</div>
And save your settings.
This will take care of all new posts. Type the summary text in between the summary-div-tags. Type the rest of the post between the other div-tags, and publish!
Step 4: Modify old posts
If you want older posts to have summaries as well, change every post and add a summary-div and restofpost-div.
And furthermore...
The summary-div is not really necessary, as the code only hides the restofpost-div if we are on the homepage. If you want some other styling for the summary, add CSS-tags to the skin-part of your blog.
thanks U very Much, good job, very good blog...
ReplyDeleteMy old friends here are very well aware of the Peek-A-Boo-Posts hack that Ramani and I came up with several years ago. It required quite some template hacking and javascript too.
