Drupal 7: change "read more" on content type teaser

Question

In a teaser of a content type, how do you change the text for the "read more" link button?

Answer 1

Override the node output by placing this code in your theme's template.php file (replacing with YourThemeName, YourContentType and NewReadMoreText with your theme name and desired read more text).

Source

<?php
// Preprocess variables for node.tpl.php.
function YourThemeName_preprocess_node(&$variables) {
  // Let's get that read more link out of the generated links variable!
  unset($variables['content']['links']['node']['#links']['node-readmore']);

  // Now let's put it back as it's own variable! So it's actually versatile!
  if ($variables['type'] == 'YourContentType') {
  $variables['newreadmore'] = t('<span class="YourContentTypereadmore"> <a href="!title">NewReadMoreText</a> </span>',
      array('!title' => $variables['node_url'],)
   );
  } else {
      $variables['newreadmore'] = t('<span class="newreadmore"> <a href="!title">Read More </a> </span>',
      array('!title' => $variables['node_url'],)
   );
  }

  $variables['title_attributes_array']['class'][] = 'node-title';
}
?>
