Detect more link when filtering the_content

I guess you’d have to catch the $post->post_content, then tests which display you want and replace the <!–more> tag if needed with a str_replace. Something like:

$myposts = get_posts();
foreach ($mypost as $post):
if ($test_register_user)
     str_replace ("<!--more-->","",$post->post_content);
the_content();
endforeach;

Thanks alakhnor, but that doesn’t quite work

If I replace the_content() in my theme with alt_the_content() and define:

function alt_the_content () {
	global $post;
	str_replace("<!--more-->","THIS IS WHERE THE MORE LINK IS",$post->post_content);
	the_content();
}

… the_content() still carries on as normal and strips out the <!–more–>. I can replace <!–more–> if I use $post->post_content but then have to echo $post->post_content and lose all HTML formatting.

Any more ideas (and I’d still rather use a filter so I can leave the_content() be in my theme…)?

Sorry that should be:

function alt_the_content () {
	global $post;
	$post->post_content = str_replace("<!--more-->","MORE LINK",$post->post_content);
	echo $post->post_content;
}

This replaces the <!–more–> but removes all formatting.

function alt_the_content () {
	global $post;
	$post->post_content = str_replace("<!--more-->","MORE LINK",$post->post_content);
	the_content();
}

This displays the_content() as normal and doesn’t seem to replace the <!–more–>

Incidentally, I want to replace <!–more–> *and all the text that comes after*. Should I use preg_replace or is there a more elegant way to do this?

Thanks again.

Try using $page instead of $post->post_content in the str_replace.

Thanks alakhnor.

Do you mean:

function alt_the_content () {
	global $post;
	$page = str_replace("<!--more-->","MORE LINK",$page);
	the_content();
}

?

Same result ??

Any more suggestions? Even some documentation about how the_content() is processed might be helpful…

I’ve found this which seems to do exactly what I need:
