How can I get the full story - not the summary to display on list view pages like upcoming and the index page? I was hoping to do this easily in link_summary.tpl but it looks like the full story and the summary are both displayed using the same smarty variable - $story_content and that $story_content is set to either full or summary somewhere else.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks AshDigg. That works. Now I am trying to decide for the site I'm building whether i would be better off modifying libs/link.php so that separate smarty variables are always created for the truncated summary and the full story. This would allow me to decide in link_summary.tpl on a case by case basis how i want to display the story. Is there any reason why i shouldn't do it this way? (performance, dependencies etc ?)

This is what I'm thinking of doing ...

libs/link.php
replace lines 366 to 375 with ...

$smarty->assign('story_content', $this->content);
if($this->link_summary == "")
  $smarty->assign('story_content_summary', $this->truncate_content());
else
  $smarty->assign('story_content_summary', $this->link_summary);

in link_summary.tpl

{if $pagename eq"story"}{$story_content}{else}{$story_content_summary}{/if}

The link_summary.tpl logic above could be easily modified to display the story in any way. (ie: it would be easy to show a summary on all pages with a thickbox link to display the full content.)

What do you think?
