Hello everyone,

Who can help me with my problem?
How can i put a maximum letters in my news? You need press READ MORE to see the full news.

I want it without [break] codes or what ever!
It must go automatic!

Sorry for my bad english

check your admin center. You can find all options for the news length under the title "settings".

That can be help

open news.php and search

Code:
1.
$content = toggle($content, $ds['newsID']); 


under this code you will need to paste

Code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
if(mb_strlen($content)>200) {
            $content=mb_substr($content, 0, 200);
            $content.='...';
        }

They are 2 line's with $content = toggle($content, $ds['newsID']);

First of the second?

If you have a Image for the Readmore button try this:
Code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
 if(mb_strlen($content)>200) {
            $content=mb_substr($content, 0, 200);
            $content.='<a href="index.php?site=news_comments&newsID='.$ds['newsID'].'"><img src="lintotheimage" alt="" border="0" /></a>';
        }


but if you have not a image, use this:

Code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
 if(mb_strlen($content)>200) {
            $content=mb_substr($content, 0, 200);
            $content.='<a href="index.php?site=news_comments&newsID='.$ds['newsID'].'">Readmore</a>';
        }

Instead of doing this:
Code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
/* Read More by weSEO.de / Pascalmh.de
 http://weseo.de/blog/read-more */
$foo=explode('[break]', $content);
$content = $foo[0].'<a href="index.php?site=news_comments&newsID='.$newsID.'">Read More</a>';


Do this:
Code:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
/* Read More by weSEO.de / Pascalmh.de
 http://weseo.de/blog/read-more */
$foo=explode('[break]', $content);
$content = $foo[0];
$readmorelink = '';
if($content!=$foo[0]) $readmorelink = '<a href="index.php?site=news_comments&newsID='.$newsID.'">Read More</a>';


Last line checks if you used [break] in your news, if so $readmorelink is set.
What you've got to do is add $readmorelink into your templates/news.html

Thanks for the reply, but like the original poster, I want my news posts to automatically break after X amount of characters rather than having to manually type [break] in the middle of every news post.

I have therefore used the code provided by Nanny to achieve this:

if(mb_strlen($content)>200) {
$content=mb_substr($content, 0, 200);
$content.='...';
}
