Hi,

Kindly check the settings of the menu item of that page > Options tab > and see Show ‘readmore’ option, you can set to show there.

Regards

Hi Hemant,

Could you also share the URL of page which displays the articles you’re mentioning?

It’s on the home page itself – http://nelse1.smartdesi.com.au/

It’s under Top menu – Home.

Any luck with this one? It’s one of the final few things stopping the go-live so your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,

I checked the feature intro layout again and by default it doesn’t show the readmore button.

I added this snippet of code to render the readmore button for each article:

<?php if ($params->get('show_readmore') && $this->item->readmore) :
if ($params->get('access-view')) :
    $link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($this->item->slug, $this->item->catid));
else :
    $menu      = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
    $active    = $menu->getActive();
    $itemId    = $active->id;
    $link1     = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=login&Itemid=' . $itemId);
    $returnURL = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($this->item->slug, $this->item->catid));
    $link      = new JURI($link1);
    $link->setVar('return', base64_encode($returnURL));
endif;
?>
<section class="readmore">
    <a class="btn btn-default" href="<?php echo $link; ?>" itemprop="url">
        <span>
        <?php if (!$params->get('access-view')) :
            echo JText::_('COM_CONTENT_REGISTER_TO_READ_MORE');
        elseif ($readmore = $this->item->alternative_readmore) :
            echo $readmore;
            if ($params->get('show_readmore_title', 0) != 0) :
                echo JHtml::_('string.truncate', ($this->item->title), $params->get('readmore_limit'));
            endif;
        elseif ($params->get('show_readmore_title', 0) == 0) :
            echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_READ_MORE_TITLE');
        else :
            echo JText::_('COM_CONTENT_READ_MORE');
            echo JHtml::_('string.truncate', ($this->item->title), $params->get('readmore_limit'));
        endif; ?>
        </span>
    </a>
</section>
<?php endif; ?>

into the file: /html/com_content/category/features-intro_item.php

You can see it’s showing now.
