Multiple Readmore Same Page

Hello.

Of course it is.

You can have multiple readmore sections in a single page with different texts.

How? There is no option to do this. Can you do it with an older version of the plugin?

If so where can I download older version?

Josh, I hope my following words do not insult you, but they may help you better visualize just what’s going on with George’s plugin.

Let’s call “longtext” a body of information that you want to define for readmore functionality. Immediately before longtext you must insert a [read more] tag. Then, immediately after longtext, you must insert a [/read] tag. When executed, the leading [read more] tag apparently seeks out the next following occurrence of the [/read] tag and then displays everything in between the tags as the desired longtext. Any such single implementation of the read more functionality can be visualized as a unique [read more]-[/read] instance. Because each instance is unique, you can have as many instances as you want on a page.

Note that the plugin’s apparent underlying logic results in the inability to NEST readmore instances. For that matter, I’m not sure why anyone would want to do that in the first place. Read more tags can NOT be nested.

I usually invoke HTML editing mode when inserting [read more] and [/read] tags because I find it easier to visualize just what will be displayed when the read more instance is initiated. Otherwise, you can just go ahead and enter the tags in visual editing mode.

On another note, the Read More button text is sensitive to what you place at the end of the label. For example, Read more >> will throw Read More Without Refresh into a tizzy. I use the following labels: Read more» and Read less« to insert >> and << at the end of those labels.

Good luck to you. I hope this helps.

Thanks @reraymond however my questions is not coding the multiple read more’s. What I am asking is how to have “read more link A” then “read more link B different text”

Read more link 1 – “Click for address”
Read more link 2 – “Read more about…”

Ah, I get it. Unfortunately, George’s plugin doesn’t support that capability. It used to, but now does not.

There are a number of other plugins that do support that functionality, however. One I’ve used before is Read More & Accordian, but it has a lot of bells and whistles that I don’t really need or for that matter want. I’ve also used Expander Maker in the past. I liked it because it was very simple, but it doesn’t seem to be available now.

If George were to add, say the ability to automatically create a user-assignable class for the [read more] instance, then individualized button labels could be easily created just by applying simple CSS. It could work something like this: the user would enter, say [read more, 1] and then George’s code would use the “1” argument to create a class, say rmwr-1 for the current readmore instance, and any other readmore instances that were created using the “1” argument. Of course, that says a lot for just incorporating the desired label text as the argument, itself.

Hey!

Shortcode functionality was updated according users’ needs (dynamic text upvotes) – thus, current version supports a dynamic text for it.

You can still download a previous version of the plugin.

George, you are the man! When will it be available?

Current version includes a dynamic text according to the settigns – its already available.

Im planning to release a mix of dynamic + static overriden texts in a future release, but there is no ETA yet.
