[Simple Portal] Cut off articles using a custom [cutoff] tag.
« on: March 12, 2009, 02:40:01 PM »
I just recently modded this for a friend, and I decided I should share this with everyone.

Performing this edit will allow you, on Simple Portal, to define where the article should stop showing and proceed with a <view more> link.

This will render the character count cut-off useless unless you forget to define a cut-off.

SMF 2.0
--> SP version 2.1.1

* Open ./Sources/SPortal.php

Find:
:
if ($cutoff !== false)
$row['body'] = $smcFunc['substr']($row['body'], 0, $cutoff);

$row['body'] .= '...';
}
Replace with:
:
if ($cutoff !== false)
$row['body'] = $smcFunc['substr']($row['body'], 0, $cutoff);

$row['body'] .= '...';
}

// If you find "" if the body, then process this...
if (preg_match('/\/i', $row['body']))
{
// First, count each character in the body, and then locate when  occurs.
$cutoff = strrpos(un_htmlspecialchars($row['body']), '');

// Now, fix the article by only showing the text that was counted before  occured.
$fixed_article = $smcFunc['substr']($row['body'], 0, $cutoff);

// And now, assign the article as the fixed article.
$row['body'] = $fixed_article;

// The "click here for more" link.
$row['body'] .= '...
<br /><a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['id_topic'] . '.0">(view full article)</a>';
}

* Open ./Sources/Subs.php

Find:
:
// Inside these tags autolink is not recommendable.
$no_autolink_tags = array(
'url',
'iurl',
'ftp',
'email',
);
Replace with:
:
// Inside these tags autolink is not recommendable.
$no_autolink_tags = array(
'url',
'iurl',
'ftp',
'email',
);

# @ccbtimewiz
// Edit for Simple Portal's article <more> link.
$codes[] = array(
'tag' => 'cutoff',
'type' => 'closed',
'content' => '<!-- // -->',
);
Find:
:
$empty_tags = array('br', 'hr');
Replace with:
:
$empty_tags = array('br', 'hr', 'cutoff');


--> SP version 2.2.1

Open ./SPortal2.php

Find:
:
$all_link = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['id_topic'] . '.0" title="' . $row['subject'] . '">...</a>';
}
Replace with:
:
$all_link = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['id_topic'] . '.0" title="' . $row['subject'] . '">...</a>';
}

// If you find "" if the body, then process this...
if (preg_match('/\/i', $row['body']))
{
// First, count each character in the body, and then locate when  occurs.
$cutoff = strrpos(un_htmlspecialchars($row['body']), '');

// Now, fix the article by only showing the text that was counted before  occured.
$fixed_article = $smcFunc['substr']($row['body'], 0, $cutoff);

// And now, assign the article as the fixed article.
$row['body'] = $fixed_article;

// The "click here for more" link.
$row['body'] .= '...
<br /><a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $row['id_topic'] . '.0">(view full article)</a>';
}
Open ./Sources/Subs-SPortal2.php

Find:
:
if ((SMF == 'SSI' && empty($context['standalone'])) || empty($context['template_layers']) || WIRELESS || $initialized)
return $tourniquet;
Replace with:
:
if ((SMF == 'SSI' && empty($context['standalone'])) || empty($context['template_layers']) || WIRELESS || $initialized)
return $tourniquet;

$tourniquet = str_replace('', '', $tourniquet);
After doing these edits, you can define, in a post, the tag: . If said post is an article, the article will stop showing and proceed with a "view more" link where to define said  tag.

 will appear invisible to users-- so you can define it without worry.

Are you placing the tag  in your article-like posts?

Glad to see you got it. :)

Yeah, I should put better instructions The way I coded it, it searches the article for the tag . Together with the edits I put for Subs.php,  doesn't actually show up in the post as it parses no content. All it really does is tell my code in SPortal.php or SPortal2.php (depending on what version of SMF you're running) to stop processing the article after it finds that tag, and then breaks a couple times in HTML and produces that "read more" link.

At the moment, if you forgot to define a  tag, the article will load by your current SP preferences.

Certainly, but I'm not sure which you're talking about.

Could you perhaps show me your site and what exactly you'd like to cut off?

Thanks for helps :-)
My forum is www.macroforum.org
You see the last two articles,for example?( Nuova sezione fotografica: Fotomicrografia and Logo e banner RSS....above the SMF copyright)
This articles are not created by Make article in topic view, but are extract from Annunci importanti board (SP board news block)
In this articles tag cutoff not works.
It's possible make this?
thanks...and sorry for my english!
