b2evolution

I was recently asked on twitter if there was a way to change the "Follow Up" text that appears in your post when create an extended post (see the demo site for an example of an extended post) I had never tried this so I thought I would have a play to see if it could be done.

It is possible but it isn't as easy as it sounds so I thought I would document it here for others to have a go. This was all done on a 3.x install of b2evolution and hasn't been tried or tested on any other version

REMEMBER: backup your skin files before making any changes

First thing you need to do is see if there is a file called _item_content.inc.php in your skin folder and if there isn't, copy the file _item_content.inc.php from the /skins folder to the /skins/yourskinfolderyour

Now open that file in your skin folder and look for the bit of text that looks like this:

PHP:

Now edit that bit of text so it looks like this:

PHP:

I think you should have a file called _item_block.inc.php in your skin folder already so open that up and find the bit of text that looks like this:

PHP:

Replace that with this:

PHP:

Obviously replacing 'Lee Woz Ere' with the words of your choosing. This is the text that will appear instead of "Follow up:" in your blog posts.

Save all the files and give it a go.

Best,
