The Roller Read More plugin

Applies to Roller 3.0 release

NOTE: this plugin is deprecated and there is really no reason to use it now that Roller supports both Summary and Content fields for each weblog entry.

Here's what you'll need to do to configure the ReadMore plugin in Roller:

Add Read More plugin to your Roller properties override file

Follow the instructions in the Roller Installation Guide (Step 8) that explain how to create your own property override file. Add the Read More page plugin to the list of page plugines defined by the variable page.plugins. For example, here's what the page.plugins property would look like with all the built-in Roller plugins plus the Read More plugin (at the end):

   # Weblog entry plugins
   plugins.page=\
   org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.ConvertLineBreaksPlugin \
   ,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.TopicTagPlugin \
   ,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.ObfuscateEmailPlugin \
   ,org.apache.roller.ui.rendering.plugins.SmileysPlugin \
   ,net.java.dev.roller.plugins.weblogentry.readmore.ReadMorePlugin

Extract the Read More jar file and copy it to Roller WEB-INF/lib

• Download the plugin-jspwiki-X.Y.tar.gz file and extract the files.
• Copy all of the jar files extracted into the Roller WEB-INF/lib directory

Start up Roller

Once you've installed and configured the optional plugins, you'll should find the new plugin in the list of plugins on the Roller Weblog Editor (New Entry) page and on the Weblog Preferences Settings page.
