One of the 'problems' when using either a category blog view or a section blog view in Joomla! is the following:
When you want to show links to more articles, Joomla! automatically inserts a heading saying 'More Articles…'. While this may be alright for a news website, on most websites this is not how we would like to introduce our links to the other articles.
Or course, you can change the words 'More Articles…' in the language file, but that will still show up for every blog view in your site, which can be quite awkward.
For most of us, the best way is to get rid of the heading all together!
I have been searching for a long time to find the solutions, and finally I did find the answer:
The heading is placed from the templates for the category and section blog views. This means we need to change these PHP templates.
Warning! Make sure you make a security copy of the original files, just in case!
- make an FTP connection to your site and download either:
- category: components/com_content/views/category/tmpl/blog_links.php
- section: components/com_content/views/section/tmpl/blog_links.php
- open the file and delete the following lines:
- <div>
<strong><?php echo JText::_( 'More Articles…' ); ?></strong>
</div>
- <div>
- upload the file to:
- category: templates/yourtemplate/html/com_content/category/blog_links.php
- section: templates/yourtemplate/html/com_content/section/blog_links.php
Now your section and/or category blog view will show no heading text anymore!
