My read more link appears on every article even when there isn't more (saying there's one word). I've checked my databases and there isn't any spaces in the bodytext. I've checked my template and it has the proper {readmore_link}. Anyone have any ideas?

There must be something in the bodytext - otherwise that link wouldn't show up.

Are using the CVS version? Or some WYSIWYG editor (HTMLarea, FCKeditor, ...)?

I'm using xinha-nightly. The databases dont show anything in the body text. Is there any way to make it so that it must be more than two words to add the read more link?

The proper solution, of course, would be to make it so that the body text is really empty.

We have the same problem when using FCKeditor (in the CVS version), which has been filed as a bug. I would assume that the fix for this would also work for you then.

I just launched a new site yesterday and we had 5,776 unique visitors resulting in 26,316 page views.

I need a makeshift sollution. Is there anyone who could help me with a hack that would only display the read more link if there were more than three words in the body text?

In the case of FCKeditor, it puts <br> in the body text.

I suppose you could modify admin/story.php and check the bodytext for only a <br> and make it empty instead. Maybe in the submitstory function.

What browser are you using? I get the same outcome when using Firefox, but IE doesn't insert a break.

Andy fixed the problem with this little hack:

changing line 211 of system/lib-story.php from this:

if( !empty( $A['bodytext'] ))

to this:

if( strlen( $A['bodytext'] ) > 2 )

It only appears to work for non featured stories, but thats good enough for my use

Don't really know why I picked a string length of 2, although, in my defence, I was drunk at the time.

Don't drink and code.
