You can accomplish that by using the !M and !NT buttons in your post editor....

jj.

hey, thankx
the !M worked, but the !NT didnt, not sure if it had any effect on my posts.
thanks alot jj.

question when i lick read more

am i suposed to bee the [more:]

in my post?
eg.
"
since most of us cant afford

[More:]

any fancy cooling
"

i wanted to post to read like "since most of us cant afford any fancy cooling"

I think you need to look in the /inc/MODEL/items/_item.class.php file, at approx lines 1150-1175 for this code:

		if( $more_link_text == '#' )
		{ // TRANS: this is the default text for the extended post "more" link
			$more_link_text = T_('Read more!').' »';
		}

		if( $more_anchor == '#' )
		{ // TRANS: this is the default text displayed once the more link has been activated
			$more_anchor = '['.T_('More:').']';
		}

		if( $before_more == '#' )
			$before_more = '<p class="bMore">';

		if( $after_more == '#' )
			$after_more = '</p>';

You'll need to remove the More: part... probably just leave it blank, leaving only the two ' ' marks inside the parentheses and probably without a space between them...

You'll also have to remove the opening and closing P tag, so that the text isn't broken into new paragraphs.. Might take a little tweaking, but that should get you started...

jj.

Also, I think you'll need to insert the !M inline with your text when you write your posts... like so...

since most of us cant afford <!--more--> any fancy cooling

and not like so:

since most of us cant afford

<!--more-->

any fancy cooling

otherwise the Auto P renderer might take over and split it into separate paragraphs anyway...

jj.

ah ha
heres what i did

if( $more_link_text == '#' )
{ // TRANS: this is the default text for the extended post "more" link
$more_link_text = T_('Read more!').' »';
}

if( $more_anchor == '#' )
{ // TRANS: this is the default text displayed once the more link has been activated
$more_anchor = '';
}

if( $before_more == '#' )
$before_more = '';

if( $after_more == '#' )
$after_more = '';

and now.
"
* baby oil <!--more-->
* bayol 55
"

looks like

"
* baby oil

* bayol 55
"

it has a line spacing, but ill guess ill live with it, i dont want to mess up the code, by experminting.

thankx jj

What happend if you put "bayol 55" on the same line as the preceding text? Put it immediately after the MORE code...

jj.

    * baby oil <!--more--> * bayol 55

 * baby oil

* bayol 55

i still get a line space.
:(

but its no big issue.
