Where is the "read more" button on Minifrontpage news?
- Posted by msgdesign (20) Offline
Hi - I have an older site that uses 2.2.3 minifrontpage news module. There was a setting in the backend of that version "Read more text". I have installed the new 3 minifrontpage news module on a local testing site. I couldn't find the "read more" button. I then purchased the pro version to see if it is included. I couldn't find that setting either.
Can you tell me how to include a "read more" button? thanks

Ah we forgot about adding that feature. We'll add it in the next update. Anyway you can add it yourself by adding a template override.
Simple add this code below anywhere you want to in the override file :

Still need that feature.
I am new to Joomla and could use some help with the overrides.
I see how to select the module "Create Overrides" > Selected "mod_minifrontpagepro"> clicked on the new override > default-20210310-131909.php. Now I am not sure where to add your code? I tried adding it and nothing appeared in the front end. After adding your code, do I just "Save & Close" and the override should be visible in the front end? I would appreciate your help and thanks.

Thanks for sending this helpful video.
One more request - I would like to change the link colors on the the headlines (now they are black). Instead of black change to: #396e8e and a hover color should be: #97002e. Can you send me Custom CSS code snippet that I can add in the module? Thanks again
