I have checked the read-more project but it seems that this will only style the existing text. And with the string override module I don't know what the context would be in this case.

I'm not sure what you mean, "I don't know what the context would be". Do you only want to change it for certain node types? If not, the string overrides module will alter all complete strings of "Read More" (not fragments in sentences) for whatever you want.
the other alternative (what I do) is to roll your own links section in tpl template files for each node type.

Simply roll a custom module that implements hook_link_alter[1] for D6 or hook_node_view_alter[2] for D7.

@Neil. I am afraid I have to do some more research to learn how to roll my own links. I was hoping it was as simple as just "replacing" keywords.
@Earnie, I looked at the api and I dont' understand if I have to just copy and paste into the node.api.php file or if I have to actually create a module invoking this api. If its tha latter, I will need to keep searching for a better solution.

if you want to replace all instances of "Read More", then string overrides is the easiest way to do it.

if you install the module, you have a text box on the right and one on the left.
In the left, you put the string exactly as it appears in the module. "Read more" is not the same as "Read more?" I believe the exact string in the node.module is "Read more". Only first word capitalised, no punctuation.
then on the right, put what you want to appear. Refresh page. Celebrate.

I must be doing something wrong as I have done as you instructed with no punctuations just the first letter capitalized. However I did go into the node.module file and found the string that defines "Read more" and replaced it, and now my new text appears. I guess there is always a work around.

hmm, that's not really a workaround...you shouldn't touch core modules. I've been using String Overrides module for two years and it works like a charm. Could be a cache issue, always clear cache when working with those types of modules.

Christian,
What you are trying to do is really easy to do, once you know how to do it! [?]
And you *don't* have to hack core.
The problem that you are having is that you have to override everything in the particular t() function, not just part of it.
So finding the relavent line in core was extremely important... so that work you did was not for naught. The line you found from core is as follows:
'title' => t('Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about @title</span>', array('@title' => $node_title_stripped)),
The mistake you were making with the string overrides module is that the part you have to override has to be all the text in the first argument of the t() function. So in this case, you need specify the following as the text you want to replace:
Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about @title</span>
Because most of the time I have to find the exact string inside Drupal core or a contrib module in order to get the String Overrides module to work, I instead never use that module but instead use Drupal core's built in way to do this via editing the settings.php file (that is NOT hacking core).
Look for this part of the settings.php file around line 418:
# $conf['locale_custom_strings_en'][''] = array( # 'forum' => 'Discussion board', # '@count min' => '@count minutes', # );
Change it to this, uncommenting the $conf variable and then adding your own line, following the examples given to you there:
$conf['locale_custom_strings_en'][''] = array( # 'forum' => 'Discussion board', # '@count min' => '@count minutes', 'Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about @title</span>' => 'See full article', );
p.s. I don't have a clue what that <span class="element-invisible"> about @title</span> is all about. That is new with D7. But it's not just this case that more than just the visible string is added to a t() function. You almost always have to find the original t() function and see what's there before you can successfully override it.
best,
Shai

Christian,
You have to restore node.module back to its pristine condition before this will work. I would actually delete node.module completely and replace the whole file with a fresh copy.

I meant the latter. Creating modules is something you're going to want to learn how to do if you plan to use Drupal for its strength. Check out the documentation[1] page, it'll get you started. Besides, this knowledge will help you determine quality of a module you plan to use.

I figured out why, the string override and editing the settings.php file was not changing the "read more" link, it was the locale module. A lot of lessons learned.
All your feedback was much appreciated.

@Christian,
Thanks for your persistence and for reporting back.
I'm thinking of writing a docs page on this. I don't use the Locale module.
Can you just be a little more specific about what happened, how it all works. I'm guessing that if Locale module is turned on then all string overrides get handled by it and other mechanisms are ignored? Is that right?
Please share your insights.

Shai

@Earnie, I looked at the api and I dont' understand if I have to just
copy
and paste into the node.api.php file or if I have to actually create a module invoking this api. If its tha latter, I will need to keep
searching
for a better solution.
I meant the latter. Creating modules is something you're going to want to learn how to do if you plan to use Drupal for its strength. Check out the documentation[1] page, it'll get you started. Besides, this knowledge will help you determine quality of a module you plan to use.

@Shai,
I haven't tested all possibilities having the Locale module enabled, however my current setting at the time of string override failure was:
- Locale module enabled - Added an additional language (Spanish) - Set my language defaut for Locale module to be Spanish, and second language English - Enabled multilingual support for all content types
When disabling locale module, the content of all nodes had dissapeared leaving only the title. I was able to get content back by disabling multilingual support in each content type. However two of my content types would still display Spanish as default language when creating content for those content types.
Luckily I had done a backup using Backup and migrate, which it took all my content and content types to its last good configuration.
I hope this helps,
Christian

@Christian,
Thanks for your persistence and for reporting back.
I'm thinking of writing a docs page on this. I don't use the Locale module.
Can you just be a little more specific about what happened, how it all works. I'm guessing that if Locale module is turned on then all string overrides get handled by it and other mechanisms are ignored? Is that right?
Please share your insights.
best,

If you are using Locale, then you can just create a custom english language and change the strings in there. I hadn't realised you were using Locale as using it just for a few string changes is overkill, but if you're using it on a multi-language site anyway, you might as well do the "read more" thing in there.

It might not be exactly "Read more" everywhere.
I have this at the top of my site module, that is, in the open code part: // Change the "Reads" label for Statistics. global $conf; $strings = array( '@countreads' => '@countviews', '1 read' => '1 view', ); if (isset($conf['locale_custom_strings_en'])) { $conf['locale_custom_strings_en'] = array_merge($conf['locale_custom_strings_en'], $strings); } else { $conf['locale_custom_strings_en'] = $strings; } And this changes the "reads" label from the Statistics module. It can also be done at the bottom of the settings.php. Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

Nan,

With string overrides, the problem is that there may be markup, or even replacement tokens inside the t() function. For the replacement to work, you need get the whole contents of the existing text in the t(), which often means finding it in the code.
In this case, what is in the t() function is:
Read more<span class="element-invisible"
