Blog post content displayed twice

edited September 2012 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

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?

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

  • 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.

    I may not provide the completed solution you might desire, but I do try to provide honest suggestions to help you solve your issue.

  • 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.

  • 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.
