I would like to turn off the ‘more’ links on the front page. See attached screenshot for clarification. Any easy way to do this?

Hi Jaybird

In Admin open the JA News Module, in the ‘Module Parameters’ area set the number of ‘link items’ to zero here (where I currently have two):

Hope that helps.

Hi Chris,

I was hoping you might have the answer to this

I think the person might mean — if he has the same plan as I do — how to remove the “More” (term) not the “Links” themselves.

Well, at least that was what I was looking for at some point. I wanted to create links only modules, for a clone of the JA News. I made it white, but I got a huge blank space, when there is no lead article in each Section — not nice to look at..

Professional obline papers, like New York Times, BBC News, Washington Post , and most of the ones I read — do not use

• More: just before the additonal links
• Read more: just to prompt readers to click for more of the story

for the simple reason that they waste space. More important, in my own way of thinking, in each case, it should be obvious that there are more, if you see more links, and if it is a real professional bewspaper or magazine, there is more to read, apart from the text shown on the Front Page, or any main (intro) Section or Category page. I take it that if they are intelligent enough to read such professional papers or magazine,
