Image Desciption - <Read More...> - Possible?

[Nathan]

Is there a way to limit the amount of text appears in the Image Description, and have a 'Read More...' link to the comments section which would have the full text?

I'm setting my photoblog up in a manner that has only a limited amount of space for the Image Description, (see example. http://nathan-adams.net/blog/ - note that colours and graphics are only placeholders at the moment) - so if the text is any longer that what you can see there, it will just limit it to that length, and you can read the rest on the comments page.

Sorry if it's come up before, but couldn't find anything about this with a Search.

cheers,
Nathan

Nathan, this is not implemented in PixelPost
but I know this from blog-software for sure

it could easily done as an AddOn, you just need somebody who will do it, who has the time to do it

(take the imagedescription, cut it into pieces according to the allowed length, checkt that this will be a word-margin,
put the first part into one tag
put the second part into another tag
write a link "more" (with adjustable text in the language file!!!)

etc.

can be done

who does it?

Hi Connie,
thanks for that

My apologies for not replying months(!) ago. Other stuff came up and the blog went down on the list of priorities, but I'm keen again to get it going now.

How would I go about making a request for such an AddOn?

Nathan,

good that you are back!

Well, maybe you post your request in the ADDON-section?
