summary view in publisher module half working?

I have set publisher to use summary view in category pages. On the front page of publisher it shows a list of last published articles and short summaries of each article. But on the category pages it shows the entire article instead of short summaries even though I have chosen summary view in preferences. How can I have a short summary on the category pages too? Thanks in advance.

I don't know why yours looks completely different from mine. Your summary view is just the titles? I am not using a block to display them. I will download the github version and check again. I got the sourceforge version. Maybe they are different. Thanks.

Bleek: I made a mistake. I have the articles preference set to full view - not summary view. Sorry about that.

How can I get a short summary of each article on the categories page with a read more link? There seems to be just two options of summary view: showing just the title etc or full view: showing the entire article.

Thank you in advance.

In the preferences set "Display block summary on items page?" to YES
and "Articles display type:" to Full View

When you write the article type the first small part you want to display on the front page in "Block summary" and the rest of your article in the "Body"


You will not have a "read more" button but when you click on the Title of the article you will see the complete article

Thanks for the reply Bleek.

I think the problem is that I don't have the option of putting in two parts of the article. Does this option only show up if tinymce is the chosen editor? I have dhtmltextarea as the default editor because when I switch to tinymce I just get a blank white page in all the modules.

I will look into solving the tinymce problem. Thank you.

go to publisher -> permissions and activate in "Fields available in articles submission forms" all fields for the admin user
