Oh man I need your help with silly excerpt and the more link

Ok, Im now starting to figure Im not using this the way it was intended. I think it is intended fro me to use the_excerpt on an archive page or something and then the more link is clicked Im sent to the actual full post page. Not what I want to do. Ill see if I can piece some code together.

For anyone else who want to have a page show you the_excerpt() by default on any single page and then be able to click a more link to see the rest of the article without leaving the same page.

This code needs to go in your loop.

<! Notice im appending &contentType=1 to the permalink() URL />

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>&contentType=1" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

<! pull contentType=1 into the $content variable. />

<?php $content = $_GET[contentType]; ?>

<! show the page with full content because $content==1 />
<?php
if ($content==1)
	the_content();
else
    the_excerpt_rereloaded('80','More','<strong><em>','div');
?>

I used the_excerpt_rereloaded plugin and modified the php plugin file to include &contentType=1 after the_permalink(); ?> so their more link appends to the URL also.

You can use any excerpt plugin or built in function just by appending tot he permalink() as described.

Good luck…
