Hi

Can anyone tell me how to add a ‘read more’ to my text?

Thank you Simon

How is the first part and the second (more) part generated now? Is this content from a WebYep element, or just stuff you’re making by hand in Freeway? Also, are you talking about my ReadMore Action? That lets you put a little Action-item in the flow of text to divide the intro from the remainder, and the remainder is shown in a lightbox-style overlay when the More link is pressed.

Thank you Walter. Yes It is Freeway text that I want to show in a lightbox style. Is it possible to change the font of the ‘read more’? and not have to show all the text on the Freeway document too?

Sure - you can do anything you like to style it. It has the class .more

You can’t get around this requirement, that’s just how this Action works.

In that particular example I used the following styles add via Page>html markup in the before slot

<style type="text/css">
.more {
color:#a52a2a;
cursor: pointer;
text-align:center;
text-decoration:underline;
font-family:Georgia;
font-weight:bold;
font-size:16px
}
.more:hover {
color:#ec753d;
text-decoration:none;
}
</style>

Adjust those to suit your font, colours, size etc.

Not seeing the Read More element in there - how did you add it?

From the Forge

To use, insert the Action inline at the end of the last paragraph of text that you want to be normally visible. All the remaining text in the parent container will be hidden from normal view, and a new P tag containing the desired link text will be inserted to replace it.

If you want to send me your FW page you will find my email address by clicking on my name at the start of any of my posts on the FWT site.

If you also include what styling you want applied to the ‘more’ text I can show you that too.
