Running a test in jr 5.1.4
I posted some text and an image in a test user blog.
When I go to that profile it just displays the text (huge) with no image?

http://final.punkbp.com/two-two-79/blog

I have to click on the title on the blog page to display the page with the image???
Is this right?

Seems as though it is sort of backwards.
The blog ( when you click on blog ) should display what you want to show.

You don't want to make users click another area to get an image ( And no-one will )

This is what you get when you click on the title

Shouldn't it be like a 250 word limit on the blog page with the image then a READ MORE button or something?

The image is not shown in the modules/jrBlog/templates/item_list.tpl file on purpose. If you want to add it in, you can, but that is how it is suppose to be by default.

Hope this helps,
Douglas

You can also use the page break button on the text editor to limit the text to whatever you want.

Hmm ok so how do Artists/Band members etc know how to do that ie- insert page break, unless they are tech savvy?
And I added a page break but there is no indication anywhere that there is more to read when you reload the blog page. Yeah it shrinks it down to what I want but shouldn't any tinymce etc put a read more in?
People will have to work out to click the title which isn't user friendly?

As far as your users knowing how to use it, you'll have to tell them or let them know that button is available to them.

Ok I get it . I am used to it adding itself and it worked great. So the readmore link down bottom right....Is there any way of getting it RIGHT AFTER THE CUT OFF TEXT?

Also is there anyway of capping ( say 250 words ) what is shown on the BLOG page then adding a read more?
I know JCE does this

EDIT : I just took the pagebreak out and refreshed and now the read more doesn't show.
Not really intuitive ?
And how would I add the image to display on the blog page?

The issue here is you get to choose:
* do I force all blog posts to only be 250 characters in that lead in section
OR
* do I allow the creator of the blog post to put in what they want in that intro section.

because you cant limit it to 250 characters AND also allow the user to choose what they put in that front section.

So the second option is chosen.

You can change it to be the first option by changing your jrBlog/item_list.tpl page in either the template editor, or adding a jrBlog_item_list.tpl page to your skin.

The syntax for "Limit it to 250 characters" is:
{$whatever_that_output_var_is|strip_tags|truncate:250:"..."}
