read more link -submit content form

I am using ChronoForms submitcontent with file upload field.

Code used from this post http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/index.php?option=com_chronoforums&cont=posts&f=2&t=13056#p26629

After reading this post
http://www.chronoengine.com/forums/index.php?option=com_chronoforums&cont=posts&f=2&t=13681&p=28538&hilit=read+more+link#p28538

with

JRequest::setVar("fulltext", $fulltext_template);

This is user submitted content <hr id="system-readmore" /> <br /><br /><img src="...jpg" >

with

JRequest::setVar("introtext", $fulltext_template);

Now content is gone along with read more link and it shows image only: <br /><br /><img src="...jpg" >

Could you help me to figure out how to get rid of read more link and show the content?
Thank you in advance for your help.🙂

Hi freefall,

I'm confused, please explain exactly what you are trying to do?

hello! I apologize for not making this clear.

Problem: When user submit content with file attached, it works fine except that it adds <hr id="system-readmore" /> automatically (i guess it happens when i use joomla variable fulltext ) right after the content and before attached file.

so in the article manager, i have 'contents' '<hr id="system-readmore" />' '<img src=..>'

What i want to do: 'contents' '<img src=..>'

Reason: when image is after <hr id="system-readmore" />, image won't show in the front page.
Thank you again for your time.

Hi freefall,

If you are using the code from the other post then I don't see how the 'There's more' link would end up in the middle of your content. My understanding is that the link is automatically placed by Joomla after the introtext.

Hello Bob,
I kind of figure it out.(took me 5 hours... :mrgreen: )

If you are using text area field name "introtext" in Form HTML, and then use JRequest::setVar("fulltext", $fulltext_template) in On Submit code - after sending email, you will have introtext, <hr id="system-readmore" />, fulltext in article manager.

In case somebody needs this, here is the code for On Submit code - after sending email.
My text area field name is 'user_content', and i have file upload form field name 'file_1'

<?php  
$user_content =  JRequest::getVar('user_content', '');
$file_1 = JRequest::getVar('file_1', '');

if ( $file_1 ) {
  $fulltext_template =$user_content.'<p class="imageupload"><img src="images/stories/'.JRequest::getVar("file_1").'"></p>';
} else {
  $fulltext_template = $user_content;
}

JRequest::setVar("introtext", $fulltext_template);

$_POST['catid'] = 'enter category id here';
$_POST['id'] = '';
$_POST['sectionid'] = 'enter section id here';
$_POST['state'] = '1';
$_POST['created'] = date("Y-m-d H:i:s");
 ?>

Hi freefall,

That looks neat - well done.

Bob
