the / at the start of /img/smilies/icon_arrow.gif means that the folder is in your webroot not in your skins folder.

These are all the parameters you can use when doing $Item->content(); one of these allows you to specify the read more text.

/**
* Template function: display content of item
*
* WARNING: parameter order is different from deprecated the_content(...)
*
* {@internal Item::content(-) }}
*
* @todo Param order and cleanup
* @param mixed page number to display specific page, # for url parameter
* @param mixed true to display 'more' text, false not to display, # for url parameter
* @param string text to display as the more link
* @param string text to display as the more anchor (once the more link has been clicked)
* @param string string to display before more link/anchor
* @param string string to display after more link/anchor
* @param string Output format, see {@link format_to_output()}
* @param integer max number of words
* @param boolean true if you don't want to repeat teaser after more link was pressed
* @param string filename to use to display more

Hello Yabba, thanks, I guess I'm too much of a noob in PHP to make a move based on your reply. Sorry.

What line/s would I have to put into my _main.php to enforce /myskinfolder/images/mymore.gif as icon for "more" links?

Thank you so much. Best, 'lex

This is an explanation for if you want to change that icon by 'words' : http://b2evolution.net/man/2005/02/25/how_to_get_rid_of_the_gread_more

You can offcourse place a reference to an icon in your skin folder instead of 'read more'

so the clue is change item_content()

No problem ;)

$Item->content( '#', '#', '<img src="images/mymore.gif" alt="read more" /> Read more...' );

*edit*
lol, I couldn't find that page when I originally went looking for it :p

Hello Topanga and Yabba: Terrific! Thanks! :)
