Glossary Item Box
News Posts are used to create news entries on your website. They can be shown in the News Navigation Block, the News Page, or both.
Truncating long posts
News posts will appear on some pages along with other posts. If your post is too long, just add this wherever you would like to truncate it:
{Read_More}
Squirrelcart will automatically truncate the post at that position and automatically add a Read More button.
![]() |
When adding the {Read_More} variable, be sure not to place it inside any HTML tags. Doing so can cause invalid HTML. You can view the HTML code for any news post by clicking the Source button in the rich text editor.
Example - don't do this: <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse turpis libero, mattis eu lacinia id, porta eu velit. Morbi at mi lacus. </p> <p> Sed mattis purus ac ultricies lacinia. Nulla pharetra sapien eget turpis volutpat tempor. Mauris pellentesque convallis ultrices. Duis dictum </p>
Instead, do this: <p> Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Suspendisse turpis libero, mattis eu lacinia id, porta eu velit. Morbi at mi lacus. <p> Sed mattis purus ac ultricies lacinia. Nulla pharetra sapien eget turpis volutpat tempor. Mauris pellentesque convallis ultrices. Duis dictum </p> |
