Hi - I would like to have the same layout for the blog as it is for the standard page:

- Title
- some text (no read more link, they only have some lines per post)
- inline slideshow (they do have images though ;))
- maybe some more lines of text
All this should appear on the actual blog page, no linking to the individual post, so that in the end a long list of these posts can be scrolled through.

How could I achieve this?
Thanks for assistance.

Rgs, Katharina

Hey,
I think you want to display the ful content instead of excerpts for all posts. This is possible - open up includes/loop-index.php and replace:

if(is_search() || avia_is_overview())
				{
					the_excerpt();
				}
				else
				{
					the_content(__('Read more  &rarr;','avia_framework'));
				}

with:

if(is_search())
				{
					the_excerpt();
				}
				else
				{
					the_content();
				}

Thanks, Dude. Sorry for my delay in answering, I only had time now to check.

Your suggestion does not work; no change at all.
The result I want is as you described: on the blog page a list of x entries in full content including the inline-gallery and the date-flag; no click on title etc, all content is on the general blog page.
You may view the site http://www.bonath-werbung.de/bisseria/ Bisseria is the general blog page.

Hope you can assist further. Thanks in advance,
best regards Katharina

.... and even if I follow Dude's advice he gave justinbryear this morning regarding the full post on homepage - it does not work on the blog page.
Would be so nice to find a solution. thanks in advance.

Hi, how did you manage to have an image appear when you hover over the test post?

Related question: how do I make the blog overview page show the text up to the "more" code in the single post and not some mysterious excerpt at random length.
And: how can I make the overview page respect the formatting of the text before the "more" code in the blog post?

@gouvi / image appearing when you hover the post
In every single post you can set up a gallery; the image appearing on the list is the first one of the gallery

@gouvi / text length in blog overview
I just worked with the "more" line from the standard WYSIWYG editor

Hey,

in your template-blog.php
replace this:

<!-- ####### MAIN CONTAINER ####### -->
		<div class='container_wrap' id='main'>

			<div class='container'>	

				<div class='template-blog template-blog-overview content'>

					<div class='box'>

					<div class='inner_box'>

					<?php

					/* Run the loop to output the posts.
					* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
					* called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.
					*/
					$more = 0;
					get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'index' );
					?>
						</div><!--end inner_box-->

					</div><!--end box-->

					<!--end content-->
				</div>

				<?php 

				//get the sidebar
				wp_reset_query();
				$avia_config['currently_viewing'] = 'blog';
				get_sidebar();
				?>

			</div><!--end container-->

<!-- ####### MAIN CONTAINER ####### -->
				<div class='container <?php echo $avia_config['layout']." ".$protectedPost; ?>'>

				<div class='template-blog template-single-blog content'>

							<?php

							/* Run the loop to output the posts.
							* If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
							* called loop-index.php and that will be used instead.
							*
							*/
							$loop = '';
							$content_style = avia_post_meta(avia_get_the_ID(), 'entry_layout'); 

							if(strpos($content_style,'mini') !== false)
							{
								$loop = 'page-mini';
							}
							else
							{
								echo "<div class='box'>";

									echo "<div class='inner_box'>";

									get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'index' );

									//show related posts if there are any
									get_template_part( 'includes/related-posts');

									//wordpress function that loads the comments template "comments.php"
									comments_template( '/includes/comments.php'); 

									echo "</div><!--end inner_box-->";

								echo "</div><!--end box-->";
							}

							?>

					<!--end content-->
					</div>

				<?php
				if($loop) get_template_part( 'includes/loop', $loop );

				$avia_config['currently_viewing'] = "blog";
				//get the sidebar
				get_sidebar();

				?>

			</div><!--end container-->

This should display full excerpts.
As for the other questions ykblue & gouvi- could you restate them? It's getting confusing who wants what to happen.

Chris - thanks a lot. This brings me a bit closer to what customer wants. Now I do have the list of blog entries.
But: I would like to have the pictures/galleries in this list as well. Clicking to the single blog entry should be impossible. Complete blog content should appear on this list.

Thanks again, Katharina

yes - that's possible. In includes/loop-index.php delete all occurences of:
```
is_single() &&
```

Thanks for all your assistance.
I just don't get it working; actually I am not php-experienced enough to modify this loop-index.php properly.

As this seems to be more a customization thing, I can't ask for more support. Thanks again.

Yes, I specified my problem in a separate thread: http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/more-code-except-length-and-formatting

Hi,

the solution Chris offered works fine however the comments are still displayed on the usual single blog post only. Is there a way to solve this so that they are shown on the blog overview as well?

Thank you in advance for your help!

It seems that

>>//wordpress function that loads the comments template "comments.php"
comments_template( '/includes/comments.php'); <<

is ignored.
It would be great to find a solution - or does moving the comments need further adjustments or customization?

Thank you!

Sunny,

you can open your includes folder and open up loop-index.php, find
</div>
change it to
```
<?php if(!is_single()){include( 'comments.php');}?>

		</div>
```
You'll have to do some styling to get this to look somewhat decent though.
Let me know if it works :)
