Preview Entry doesn't show extended entry

Vote 0 Votes

How can this be different.

Blogs using Classic Blog template show [mt:body] and [mt:more] in the preview

my first blog using Motion - preview only shows [mt:body] with link to read more.

Why? and / or which template do I change to show entry archive on the preview?

Thanks

  • Jim, the preview should display stuff based on your templates!

    So, if your entry template for your first blog using Motion doesn't contain the mt:More tag, then it means that the preview function won't display it.

    Just go and check out your "entry" archive template and make sure that you add mt:More to it ;)

  • Thanks for adding a comment.

    I actually put in a support ticket at 6A (and forgot to update here).

    It turns out the the template module "Single Entry" needs a little tweaking to show the mt:more when previewing your entries.

    I changed 'archive_type' to 'archive_template' to get the desired effect I wanted.

  • I am having a similar problem as this...

    I don't understand the solution posted in this thread. Here is my template code:

    <mt:IfArchiveType type="individual">
    						<p><$mt:EntryBody$></p>
    					
    					<mt:Else>
    						
    							<p><$mt:EntryExcerpt words="100"$></p>
    							<p><a href="<$mt:EntryPermalink$>">Read more...</a></p>
    
    

    </mt:IfArchiveType>

    When I do a preview I only see:

    <p><$mt:EntryExcerpt words="100"$></p>
    							<p><a href="<$mt:EntryPermalink$>">Read more...</a></p>
    

    And the permalink is not clickable in preview which I would have assumed.

    Any suggestions?

If you need to share template code, replace all the "<" signs with "&lt;" or use this utility.
