Archive page read more button

[NiO]

Hi Swiftideas,

The “read more” button is missing on the posts in the blog archive pages, when using the display type “Mini” in the Archive/Category Options. When using the display type “Masonry” it does show up. Doesn’t make sense as the “Mini” option has a lot more space for it. Is it possible to add the button?

Thanks,
Johan

Hi Johan,

In your Atelier theme folder please locate the file archive.php located: swift-framework/layout/archive.php

On line 17 change $show_read_more = "no"; to $show_read_more = "yes";

Thanks,
David.

Hi David,

I am using a child theme to avoid having to do things like this in the base theme … I guess it gets tricky in this case as that option is not included in a function right?

Thanks,
Johan

Hey Johan,

You are correct, there is not an option for that as such, I’ll run this pass our developer Ed to see of there is scope to add an option for this.

– Do you have archive.php in your child theme? You could add it and avoid touching the parent file.

Thanks,
David.

Hi David,

I do not have archive.php in my child yet. I figured it wouldn’t help as it is actually using swift-framework/layout/archive.php … and I guess I cannot just copy that one to the child … or can I?

Cheers,
Johan

Hi,

Within your child theme, create the same directory structure. Example:

swift-framework/layout/archive.php

I have this running for me, let me know if you need me to take a look at your setup.

Hey David,

This worked perfectly. Didn’t know it was that easy to change a component at a subdir level like that 🙂

Thanks, resolved!
Cheers, Johan

Depends on the component itself and the way it is included, it get’s messy when a file is included in other precedent file.

Great. Thanks David.
