Read More Extra Field

The Read More Extra Field module replaces the default "Read more" link (displayed when nodes are rendered as teasers) by an extra field.

Why and when is this module helpful?

• Fields appearance order is easily configurable via the display settings. It is thus easy to move the Read more link before or after any other field of your entities.
• The Read More extra field is not intrusive. It can be enabled on any fieldable entity of your choice, and you can decide to keep the default Read More link.
• The default Read More link only appear in Teaser mode. It can be annoying when you create custom view modes. The Read More Extra Field is available in all view modes.
• The Read More Extra Field module comes with some additional useful settings : It is possible to configure the Read More link text, or add CSS classes.
• This module can also be used to easily hide the default Read More link when it is not needed.

Important:

• This module has a lightweight 8.x-1.x version and a more feature-3.x version. See version section below for details. We'll keep on supporting both in the future!
• Upgrading from 1.x to 3.x requires manual steps, if you overwrite readmore-extrafield.html.twig:
  If you upgrade from 1.x and have overwritten readmore-extrafield.html.twig in your theme, you have to align your template file overwrites to reflect the new readmore-extrafield.html.twig in the module directory as variables and structure were required to change. 3.x uses field templates as wrapper!
• 3.x adds various settings to the field formatter settings form, but settings don't work in layout_builder yet due to an upstream bug in extra_field_plus: #3069861: [3.x] Settings do not show up in layout_builder. This is FIXED now, so please help testing!

Dependencies

• 1.x: The Field core module is required.
• 2.x, 3.x: The Field core module is required + Extra Field + Extra Field Settings Provider

Configuration

• Visit admin/config/readmore_extrafield to enable the Read More Extra Field on specific entities. Any fieldable entity can be configured separately.
• Configure the display of your entities to make the Read More link visible or hidden on any available view mode.
