Read More link?

[Nathan]

I'm going to dig up an ooollllddd thread here.

Some time ago, there was an addon that was kind of a brutal read more link:

That add on was enough for my purposes back then, and now I have no need for it personally.

However, I'm helping my girlfriend put together a photo blog and have come across a need for a properly fleshed out "read more" solution.

The idea is to use the multiphoto add-on, and have text set with a div to the right of each photo, set to the same height. In the event that there is more text than she can fit within that div, she can drop a wordpress style <MORE> tag within the description, and whatever follows won't show up on the main page, but instead, on the comments page for that image.

I almost see it as having <IMAGE_NOTES> displaying the the whole description, and say a new tag <IMAGE_EXCERPT> displaying everything in the description up to the <MORE> point.

Does anyone think that this could be done, and is there any other interest in having such an add-on?

Cheers,
Nathan

I believe this could probably done in a much easier way.

If you put the section in say a <span> tag and give it the class code of say more or hidden.

Then basically set it to be hidden in the CSS code you could use Ajax to un-hide it and expand it down.
