The most effective method to make posts in the online journal landing page to be shown with a programmed "read more" catch and a thumbnail.
To be more particular, this will demonstrate the title of the post, then a short outline with various characters and a thumbnail, that will be the thumbnail of the first picture transferred inside the post. After the thumbnail and the post outline, there will be a "Read More" connection, which when you tap on it, will take you to the genuine post.
This Automatic Read More script will compress substance and a post rundown will be indicated just on the primary online journal page (landing page), classification pages, and chronicle pages.
Adding the Automatic Read more Button on Blogger
- Step 1 : Go to Blogger Dashboard and Select Template and then select Edit HTML to open your Template code.
- Step 2 : Now on your Blogger Template search for this code , Note that this code appears three times on blogger, you got to find the third one.
<data:post.body/>
- Step 3 : Replace the third <data:post.body/> code with this code
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<div expr:id='"summary" + data:post.id'><data:post.body/></div>
<script type='text/javascript'>createSummaryAndThumb("summary<data:post.id/>","<data:post.url/>","<data:post.title/>");</script>
<span class='readmore' style='float:right;'><a expr:href='data:post.url'>Read More »</a></span></b:if></b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'><data:post.body/></b:if>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "static_page"'><data:post.body/></b:if>
- Step 4 : Search for </head> and just above it Paste this code
<script type='text/javascript'>
posts_no_thumb_sum = 490;
posts_thumb_sum = 400;
img_thumb_height = 160;
img_thumb_width = 180;
</script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
function removeHtmlTag(strx,chop){
if(strx.indexOf("<")!=-1)
{
var s = strx.split("<");
for(var i=0;i<s.length;i++){
if(s[i].indexOf(">")!=-1){
s[i] = s[i].substring(s[i].indexOf(">")+1,s[i].length);
}
}
strx = s.join("");
}
chop = (chop < strx.length-1) ? chop : strx.length-2;
while(strx.charAt(chop-1)!=' ' && strx.indexOf(' ',chop)!=-1) chop++;
strx = strx.substring(0,chop-1);
return strx+'...';
}
function createSummaryAndThumb(pID, pURL, pTITLE){
var div = document.getElementById(pID);
var imgtag = "";
var img = div.getElementsByTagName("img");
var summ = posts_no_thumb_sum;
if(img.length>=1) {
imgtag = '<span class="posts-thumb" style="float:left; margin-right: 10px;"><a href="'+ pURL +'" title="'+ pTITLE+'"><img src="'+img[0].src+'" width="'+img_thumb_width+'px" height="'+img_thumb_height+'px" /></a></span>';
summ = posts_thumb_sum;
}
var summary = imgtag + '<div>' + removeHtmlTag(div.innerHTML,summ) + '</div>';
div.innerHTML = summary;
}
//]]>
</script>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "static_page"'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType != "item"'>
<style type='text/css'>
.post-footer {display: none;}
.post {margin-bottom: 10px; border-bottom: 1px dotted #E6E6E6; padding-bottom: 20px;}
.readmore a {text-decoration: none; }
</style>
</b:if>
</b:if>
- Step 5 : Save your Template and from there you will see it work
how to put the image at the center?
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl I will recommend that you leave the position of the image the way it is or just make it float to the right instead of the left but I will show you how to chang the img position.
ReplyDeletesimply search for this code on the codes listed on this post:
