Show or Hide Your Full Post in Blogger

Tuesday, February 5, 2008

This is the way to show or hide your full post on the main page of your blog. This is different from my old "Read More " methods. If in old "Read More" Methods it will show "Read More" link, then if you click the link you will load and go to another page that will show your full post/articel. But with my next methode below, if you click the link you will see your full post/articel in the same page and it no needs time to load, it only expand your full post. Do you want to try it? here is the trick:

1. Login to Blogger, Chose "Layout --> Template --> Edit HTML
2. Click "Download Full Templates" link to back up your template.
3. Check on the "Expand Template Wdiget" Check Box.
4. Copy the code below and paste above this code </head>

5. Then find this code <div class='post-header-line-1'/> .
6. If You found it you will see a code like this:

7. The next step is change or replace the code (Only Number 6 code) to be like this:

8. Under it you will see a code like this <p><data:post.body/></p>
9. Put the code below under it.

<b:else/>
<style>#fullpost {display:none;}</style>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<span id='showlink'>
<p><a expr:onclick='"javascript:showFull(\"post-" + data:post.id + "\");"' href='javascript:void(0);'>[+/-] Show Full Post...</a></p>
</span>
<span id='hidelink' style='display:none'>
<p><a expr:onclick='"javascript:hideFull(\"post-" + data:post.id + "\");"' href='javascript:void(0);'>[+/-]Hide Full Post...</a></p>
</span>
<script type='text/javascript'>checkFull("post-" + "<data:post.id/>")</script>
</b:if>

10. So, the full code will like this :

<div class='post-header-line-1'/>
<div class='post-body entry-content' expr:id='"post-" + data:post.id'>
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>
<p><data:post.body/></p>

<b:else/>
<style>#fullpost {display:none;}</style>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<span id='showlink'>
<p><a expr:onclick='"javascript:showFull(\"post-" + data:post.id + "\");"' href='javascript:void(0);'>[+/-] Show Full Post...</a></p>
</span>
<span id='hidelink' style='display:none'>
<p><a expr:onclick='"javascript:hideFull(\"post-" + data:post.id + "\");"' href='javascript:void(0);'>[+/-] Hide Full Post...</a></p>
</span>
<script type='text/javascript'>checkFull("post-" + "<data:post.id/>")</script>
</b:if>

11. Save Your Editing.
12. Go to menu "Setting --> Formatting"
13. On the bottom page you will see a box beside text "Post Template". Copy the code below and paste in to the box
