How do I make my front page story summaries larger to show embedded embedded images and such? Most of my submissions will be a few lines of text and then a video. Currently, even under expanded view, the front page summaries chop off after the text and then show a read more link? I'd like the front page summaries to also show the video...

Thanks!

Hi musicalmissionary
Try changing the story summary truncate from
admin > config> submit >
Summary Content truncateDescription: When showing the story in summary mode (like on the front page), truncate the content to this many characters.
Value: 400

Default Value: 300
Default Value: number

Hope that helps

Preciate it but no luck. I tried 1500, 5000, 0... same result.

I can't be positive but I think that previous stories wont have an effect. Are we talking about text and something like a "youtube" video using the "video_plus" module? If you could give me better details of what sort of content you are attempting to get on the "main" pages I'm sure I could help.

Yes, the stories I would like to show up entirely on the front page are being submitted with the submit_pro module and they consist of a few lines of text followed by the embed code for a youtube video. The youtube videos show up on the story-specific page but not on the front page expanded view.

I'll try submitting a new story with the new setting...

The truncate setting should be what you're looking for. WIth allowing those tags in you r"allowable "html it will quickly fill up the charter limit.
