Add article title to 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)

Keyword:

  • add, article, title, read, more, link, template, folder, html, com_content, category, section, frontpage, php, JText, sprintf, read more, article title
