Also, you can set "Show read more" to "Hide" now within same menu item since you don't really need it now. By default it's Show in global configuration. This will work if you have "Show Intro Text" parameter set to Show within Menu item Options parameters and I presume you want to keep this.

Refresh your page where you have category blog view and you'll get full text of your article(s). Now you need to edit line around 47 in my version of Joomla (3.4.1) which is: item->event->beforeDispla圜ontent ?> item->introtext ?>Ĭhange to item->event->beforeDispla圜ontent ?> item->introtext.$this->item->fulltext ?>

File you need is blog_item.php Click on it and you'll see it on the right. Go to "Editor" tab now -> click html folder, then com_content -> category. You only need to change few lines for your particular problem. Joomla created all folders and files you need to change now. In list(s) click on com_content (middle column) -> category. No matter you might not know php, you can do it here.Ĭhoose "Create Overrides" tab at top. Now you're editing your template more "close" to it's php code. Go to Extensions - Template Manager - Templates (on the left) - click on your default site template title. What you need to do in this case is create override for category blog view. So, hiding "Read more" (within menu item parameters or article settings) will do exactly as it says - it'll simply hide readmore and whole article won't show up again at the end. I'd say none of the above completely solves general situation when you have article where you want to have "Read more." link / button. *Make sure you will adjust any settings/options of the menu item to suit the rest of your needs (show/hide readmore etc). When you are about to choose they menu item type, you will find a new type: Blog Full Text. Go in Menu Manager and create a new menu item for the articles component. Now you will have a new menu item to choose for your category blog layouts. Create Menu Items with your new Alternative Menu Item Open the and edit line around 47: item->event->beforeDispla圜ontent ?> item->introtext ?>Ĭhange to: item->event->beforeDispla圜ontent ?> item->introtext echo $this->item->fulltext ?>Ĥ. Edit the new template file of the blog item.

Open the blogfull.xml and edit the top lines: ģ.

blog_children.php -> blogfull_children.php.

blog.php duplicate and rename to-> blogfull.php.

Create the required files for the alternative layout:Ĭomponents/com_content/views/category/tmplĬlone (duplicate) the files listed below and rename the cloned files : I would suggest to create an Alternative Menu Item for the Blog Category Layout, as it will allow you create menu items for any category and still be able to have different layouts for them.ġ. Now if you feel a bit more adventurous, you can customize the blog category layout to suit your needs. So, the easiest way to have a category blog layout showing the full text, is to not insert the Read More into your articles. The simple way to show full text in blog layout: Later the blog category layout always renders the introtext of the article. If you don't use the Read More, then the whole text goes into the introtext. The text before the Read More goes into the introtext and the text after the Read More goes into the fulltext column. What happens when you insert the Read More is that it splits the content of the article into 2 pieces, and it saves these 2 pieces in 2 database columns in the db #_content table. When creating an article, you have the option to insert a " Read More" in your article.
