Hello I am wondering if there is a way to limit the posts on my blog main
page to say 500 Characters and have a continue reading link from there on
each post.
This is my query it uses pagination :D
*def index():
#Collect all posts in the db and use pagination
query = db.posts.id > 0
orderby = ~db.posts.id
pcache = (cache.ram, 15)
paginate = Pagination(db, query, orderby, display_count=5, cache=pcache,
r=request, res=response)
# Now we get our subset.
rows=paginate.get_set(set_links=True)
return dict(rows=rows)*
and my db tables :-)
db.define_table('posts',
Field('userinfo', db.auth_user, default=auth.user_id, readable=False,
writable=False,unique=True),
Field('category',db.category, requires=IS_IN_DB(db,db.category.id
,'%(name)s')),
Field('created_on','datetime',default=datetime.datetime.today(),writable=False,readable=False),
Field('post_title', length=100, comment='Title of your post',
requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('post_body', 'text', requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
Field('image','upload', label='Image', comment='(Max Size) 600px by
600px', autodelete=True, requires=IS_IMAGE(extensions=('png', 'gif', 'jpg'),
maxsize=(600, 600))))
Thank you for any advice :-)
