Blog post content displayed twice

coldforge

It seems there's a slight bug in the blog view, where a blog item displays a title, then the full content—but then it also displays the content preview that a normal category view displays. So the bottom of every post has the first line repeated. Has anybody else seen this behavior?

Do you have a live example? What version of Vanilla are you using?

coldforge

Here's my example: http://thenewmiddle.net/index.php?p=/categories/blog
It's running the latest stable, Version 2.0.18.4.

Thanks for your attention.

Are you running with any other plugins enabled? Which ones? Something is outputting an div with class = Excerpt which is the repeated material. You could add a style rule to hide it... something like:
.NillBlog .Excerpt { display: none; }

try it without pagespeed plugin.

It had been happening before page speed, but I'll see if there are any other plugins.

It looks like it's the theme itself, timely. Here's the relevant portion from class.timelythemehooks.php :

/** * Add a discussion excerpt in each discussion list item. */ public function Base_AfterDiscussionTitle_Handler($Sender) { $Discussion = GetValue('Discussion', $Sender->EventArguments); if (is_object($Discussion)) echo '<div class="Excerpt">'.SliceString(Gdn_Format::Text($Discussion->Body, FALSE), 100).'</div>'; }

Is there a way to exempt items in the Blog category from that? I don't speak very good PHP.

if you use the CSS I posted above, it should hide the excerpts only for blog posts.

coldforge

Yes! I set that up this afternoon and it works well. I'm still
interested in seeing if I can omit the blog posts from the excerpt
loop for the sake of cleanliness but the display right now is right on
track. Thanks for the pointer.
