"Read more" function in news module

[Pred2k3]

Hi, ist it possible to turn of the "read more" option. I want the full news item to be displayed without the user has to click on "read more". How to do so? or isnt it possible? Thx for answers

you can post the whole news post in the 'short' textarea and then you have to delete '[TEXT_READ_MORE]' in the settings (Post Loop) of the news page.

That's an argument ! Thx. Do you know how to increase the size of the Shortnews-textbox?

yes, just open /modules/news/modify_post.php
goto line 113, there you will find the line:

Code:

show_wysiwyg_editor("short","short",$fetch_content['content_short'],"100%","135px");

the last value is the height of the textbox. change it as desired. e.g. "300px"

upload the file, and done!
