When you look at, for instance, the news module you see a nice summary of articles which end almost always with “read more | comments”. These text links, when clicked, will guide you to the rest of the article. Nice ain”t it?

Ever wondered why there are two text links pointing to the same link? Although the names “Read More” and “Comments” don”t translate as the same. Read More means, well uhh, read the rest of the article, whilst Comments would take you to the, uhh comments. So why aren”t they pointed correctly? I think there are two options that could explain the small flaw. One: developers are lazy? Two: it”s cross platform (Xoops core & module). This week we will try to post a nice solution which will really strip the two links, and make more sense of them in general.
