$10
Toggle on blog page for the_excerpt and the_content
That way there will be 2 links at the top of the page, one for full text (the_content) and one for a summary (the_excerpt). Clicking either, would toggle all posts on the page to show either content or excerpt.
I know there's probably an ajax solution around somewhere but was hoping to not do it that way.

Dan | gteh says:What if I wanted to make this as an option in the admin panel instead? A setting the admin change to choose to display either or?

Kailey Lampert says:I've actually got a plugin that will add a full-text/summary option to the Settings > Reading page.
A small snippet will still have to placed in the theme in order to use the appropriate function based on the selection.
I've included a screenshot of the admin screen, let me know if that sounds like what you want, then I can give you the code.

Dan | gteh says:that is exactly what I need. For the posts on the blog page.

Kailey Lampert says:It's attached. Unzip and upload to your plugins folder, then activate it through the plugins page of your WordPress installation.
The snippet that will go into your theme looks like this:
switch(get_option('fulltext_or_summary','summary')) {
case 'fulltext' :
the_content();
break;
case 'summary' :
the_excerpt();
break;
default :
the_excerpt();
}

Dan | gteh says:thanks. so that code goes in place of where I have the_content right now?
- 05/12/11 1:08pm
Kailey Lampert says:Right - and if your version of the_content() has something extra - like
the_content("Read more...");
You can add your fancier version in place of the plain one in my snippet - 05/12/11 1:25pm
Dan | gteh says:thanks worked perfectly.

12:20pmAdamGold says:If you want a solution with no refresh / page changing (and not AJAX), I suggest you to do something like this:
1. In single.php, I don't know exactly how your file looks but just copy the post DIV and paste it right below, and add display attribute & change the_content to the_excerpt. Example:
This is your post DIV:
<div id="post<?php get_ID(); ?>" class="post">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
Place below:
<div id="post<?php get_ID(); ?>" class="post excerpt" style="display: none">
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>
And add full-content class to the original post div:
<div id="post<?php get_ID(); ?>" class="post full-content">
2. Add the following code in where you want the buttons to be:
<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready( function() {
jQuery('#full_content').click( function() {
if( jQuery('.full-content').is(':hidden') ) {
jQuery('.excerpt').fadeOut(400, function() {
jQuery('.full-content').fadeIn();
});
}
});
jQuery('#excerpt').click( function() {
if( jQuery('.excerpt').is(':hidden') ) {
jQuery('.full-content').fadeOut(400, function() {
jQuery('.excerpt').fadeIn();
});
}
});
});
</script>
<a href="#" id="full_content">Show full content</a>
<a href="#" id="excerpt">Show excerpt</a>

- 05/12/11 12:38pm
AdamGold says:Ah so you don't want the users to choose? You just want to choose whether to display full content or excerpts? I suggest you to add somewhere in your admin (if you don't know how, please raise the prize and I'll tell you) the following:
<?php
if( isset($_POST['save']) ) {
if( !empty($_POST['toggle-view']) ) {
update_option('toggle_view', $_POST['toggle-view']);
}
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<label for="toggle-view">Posts view</label>
<select name="toggle-view" id="toggle-view">
<option value="full">Full Content</option>
<option value="exc">Excerpts</option>
</select>
</form>
Then in your page that displaying the posts, replace the_content() (or the_excerpt) with:
if( get_option('toggle_view', 'full') ) {
the_content();
} else if( get_option('toggle_view', 'exc') ) {
the_excerpt();
}

AdamGold says:Sorry, first code should be:
<?php
if( isset($_POST['save']) ) {
if( !empty($_POST['toggle-view']) ) {
update_option('toggle_view', $_POST['toggle-view']);
}
}
?>
<form method="post" action="">
<label for="toggle-view">Posts view</label>
<select name="toggle-view" id="toggle-view">
<option value="full">Full Content</option>
<option value="exc">Excerpts</option>
</select>
</form> - 05/12/11 12:45pm
