Issue/Request:
How do I link the “Read More” button/link at the end of a graduate student bio to their individual bios?
The default link right now is to the home page of the website.
I think that I need to put some code into the “More link path” but I’m not sure what is the right code for the individual user bio page.
Hi Paul,
I’m looking into this now. I’ll let you know as soon as I’ve discovered a solution.

Hi Paul,
I was able to get the read-more links working properly. I’m not sure why the links were leading to the homepage, but here’s what I did to fix it:
I hope these instructions are clear, but I’d be happy to clarify anything that requires it. Let me know if you consider this issue satisfactorily solved.

Hi Paul,
A Colleague taught me the proper way to configure the “read-more” link path to direct to the individual’s profile. He already implemented it, but I’ll explain it here:
Similarly to what I explained above, in the “dynamic people type listing” view, you would click the “add” button under “fields”.
you would then add the field “User: Uid”, check the box that says “exclude field from display” and rearrange the fields so it appears above “User: Bio” in the listing. Then, click the “User: bio” field and open the tab “rewrite results”. In the “more link path” field, use the token “user/[uid]”. This will direct the link to the full page for each individual user.
Let me know if this solved your problem completely!

Hi Paul,
I was just as confused as you were that it wasn’t working. I asked a colleague for assistance and he informed me that this was a caching issue, not any issue with the view settings; He flushed the cache and fixed that. I logged out of the site to check it out and everything seems to be functioning as intended now.
