Frequently Asked Questions v2

This is a common request, and unneccessarily complicated, (suggestion to developers - create a function like f_b might be created at some point to do this more easily, or just add an "Else" field to f_b)
- Create a dummy field which will never have any text in it, mark it as Not to be shown.
- Create an alias on this field _#MOREFULL using f_c with parameters: "!:More::full_text......."
This means print More if the Fulltext has something in it, otherwise print the dummy field, you can't just put this alias on the Full-text field or you'll get the potentially huge full-text field in the middle of those comments.
- Put _#MOREFULL in your Display/Index.
note, that you cannot use this if you also use the Headline URL to point to a file - you would get a link to that file instead, in this case create a new alias like ?x=1718 but with blank parameters.
Also note that inside a view, you'll need to use the URL as defined in the FAQ
