The "J1.5" namespace is an archived namespace. This page contains information for a Joomla! version which is no longer supported. It exists only as a historical reference, it will not be improved and its content may be incomplete and/or contain broken links.
How to add an article title to the “Read more...” link?
For this you can use the overrides...
If they are not already there, in your template folder: create a new folder called 'html'.
In that folder you create a folder called 'com_content'.
And in that folder you create the folders called "category", "frontpage", "section"
Then locate the following files
- (joomla)/components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog_item.php
- (joomla)/components/com_content/views/frontpage/tmpl/default_item.php
- (joomla)/components/com_content/views/section/tmpl/blog_item.php
Copy the files to your template's html folders
- (yourtemplate)/html/com_content/category/blog_item.php
- (yourtemplate)/html/com_content/frontpage/default_item.php
- (yourtemplate)/html/com_content/section/blog_item.php
Open these files.
Nearly at the bottom of these files you should be seeing something like:
<a href="<?php echo $this->item->readmore_link; ?>" class="readon<?php echo $this->item->params->get('pageclass_sfx'); ?>">
<?php if ($this->item->readmore_register) :
echo JText::_('Register to read more...');
elseif ($readmore = $this->item->params->get('readmore')) :
echo $readmore;
else :
echo JText::sprintf('Read more...');
endif; ?></a>
Change the line
echo JText::sprintf('Read more...');
into
echo JText::sprintf('Read more', $this->item->title);
The “Read more” link should now look like this: Read more: (Article title)
