Hi!

You can i.e. show the first 230 letters from the description or text-field, like this:

{$SearchResult:item.data_map.text.content.output.output_text|striptags|shorten(230)}..

and add a link or button to full_view, which is a link to the object (and use the full_class_classid.tpl) to view this.

You can easy do that with line and full view.
Some info about this here: http://ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/folders_and_custom_views/re_folders_and_custom_views__1

I did a different approach when I built this site: http://event.modul.no/sasbraathens/index.php/event/cruiseonly

The situation here was to keep the underlaying news when switching to viewing the full article. I added a /(filter)/full to the Les mer-link, and a check.

Like this:

{switch match=$view_parameters.filter}
	{case match="full"}

			<div class="attribute-long">
				{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.full_description}
			</div>
			
	{/case}
	{case}

			{section show=$node.object.data_map.description.content.is_empty|not}
				<div class="attribute-long">
					{attribute_view_gui attribute=$node.object.data_map.description}
				</div>
			{/section}
				
			{section show=$node.object.data_map.full_description.content.is_empty|not}
			<div class="attribute-link">
				<a href={concat($node.url_alias,'/(filter)/full/')|ezurl}>{"Read more..."|i18n("design/base")}</a>
			</div>
			{/section}
	
	{/case}
{/switch}

The customer also wanted to be able to display a different content when viewing the full view, so I also added an xml-field (full_description) to the class. The class looks like this: title, intro, description and full_description.
