I want to use the Read More links on one of my pages using the portfolio layout.
In Global configuration -> Articles I have already set

• Show Intro Text SHOW
• Show "Read More SHOW
• Show Title with Read More SHOW

In the articles, I have the Read More bar is placed.
When I look at the page, The texts are cut off at the points where the Read More bar is placed but no ReadMore link shows up.
Have I missed out some configuration or could it be a problem with the template?
Thanks

Hi Further to my previous post, I tested it with some other templates and the problem happens only when I use Purity III with xLayout – portfolio. All the other templates like those come with Joomla and even with Purity III if I select xLayout – Blog for this page work fine. So it must be the xLayout – Portfolio has this issue.

Hi @jazzsyco,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Please open file templates/purity_iii/html/com_content/category/portfolio_item.php and look for this line :

<?php if ($attribs->get('portfolio-demo')) : ?>
    <p class="item-demo-url">
        <a class="btn btn-default" href="<?php echo $attribs->get('portfolio-demo') ?>">Live Demo</a>
    </p>
<?php endif ?>

then add this block below it :

<?php if ($params->get('show_readmore') && $this->item->readmore) :
    if ($params->get('access-view')) :
        $link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($this->item->slug, $this->item->catid, $this->item->language));
    else :
        $menu = JFactory::getApplication()->getMenu();
        $active = $menu->getActive();
        $itemId = $active->id;
        $link1 = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=login&Itemid=' . $itemId);
        $returnURL = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($this->item->slug, $this->item->catid, $this->item->language));
        $link = new JUri($link1);
        $link->setVar('return', base64_encode($returnURL));
    endif;
?>
    <p class="readmore btn btn-default">
        <a href="<?php echo $link; ?>">
            <?php if (!$params->get('access-view')) :
                echo JText::_('COM_CONTENT_REGISTER_TO_READ_MORE');
            elseif ($readmore = $this->item->alternative_readmore) :
                echo $readmore;
                if ($params->get('show_readmore_title', 0) != 0) :
                    echo JHtml::_('string.truncate', ($this->item->title), $params->get('readmore_limit'));
                endif;
            elseif ($params->get('show_readmore_title', 0) == 0) :
                echo JText::sprintf('COM_CONTENT_READ_MORE_TITLE');
            else :
                echo JText::_('COM_CONTENT_READ_MORE');
                echo JHtml::_('string.truncate', ($this->item->title), $params->get('readmore_limit'));
            endif; ?>
        </a>
    </p>
<?php endif; ?>

Hi Adam Thanks for this. It works now but will this be included in the next update? Hope I won’t need to modify the source code every time I update the template.

thank you,
