Seems like that this is a dumb question but how can you show full descriptions in the frontpage instead of summary only?

Also, is the "truncate" function not supported now?

[MicroBerto]

Look in your link_summary.tpl file - It's pulling out $story_content

Then look at libs/link.php and you see where smarty is getting story_content. You can hack that to make it get the full content and not use the truncate_content() function

cheers!

Couldn't you just go to admin>config>submit> set the story truncate to something higher like 1000 characters?

[cmstheme]

It can't be becuase this is only for a specific story, not all.

OK...so I was having the same problem. I could see the short/truncated description, but not the full description.

I did "hack" the libs/link.php file by putting this on line 380 (just before Smarty sets whether or not it's a summary or full view).

if ($_GET['title']) {$type="full";}

This just looks to see if there's a title in the querystring, and if there is, it knows you're looking at the detail/summary view.

If you're using URLs that have the ID, etc. just replace the 'title' with the appropriate querystring variable.

It SHOULD work...
