I think it is useless to show all of the long posts whew we enter the profile page. It would be nice if we could define the character limit.

If not using a tag set aside for multilingual use, post in English only. We can't help if we can't read you!

peopleinside sorry I will follow guidelines.

Flarum has shortened previews in discussion lists, but there's no such thing for the post list component.

I think that would be perfect material for a community extension.

@Justoverclock what do you think about this extension is it so complex?

There is an example that is so popular in Turkey. Eksisozluk has more than 300k user. Many user type long texts

In order to make the view simpler and more understandable and to give an equal chance to be read in each entry, the read more button automatically appears. It is automatically added when you are over a certain character and the text is limited. If you want to read the rest, you can click this button. It prevents long texts from reducing the likelihood of the next entry being read.

fakruzaruret i think that this is a relatively simple extension. i could make a try when i'm sure that keywords extension works well

Justoverclock

well fakruzaruret

actually we have two ways to do that, the first is like this:

this will control the post lenght, and show a read more button if exceed lenght parameter, but this will watch only the text inside <p>.

or u prefer that he watch all the single post?

Is there any new extension like this?;

Currently flarum show sfull text of discussion on profile page, I think we must see the summary of the posts on profile page instead of full content. Also this capability extend to inside of discussions to pretend lonf texts like this: fakruzaruret

There is a real usecase on popular website that is in Turkiye
