Controlling text pulled from Joomla article into GK News Show Pro

martin691

Hi,
I use the GK5 News Show module to show Joomla articles (so not using K2), but all the text that appears is taken from the main text of the article.
My articles always have an image at the start floating to the right with a caption, like this:

<figure>
<img src="........................./../../.....">
<figcaption>
Aspire is said to be the easiest route by which users can progress from a 2D drawing to a high definition 3D design and subsequent creation of machine toolpaths.
</figcaption>
</figure>
Main body of text goes in here
Main body of text goes in here
Main body of text goes in here

So this means that the GK5 News Show module uses this caption rather than the content.

They way round this is to have the image after the first paragraph, but this is not good, as I need the images at the top.
I wondered if there was an option to supply text separately to be taken into the GK5 News Show module, or if there was another way around it.

Thanks in advance

martin691 Hi. Regular joomla articles has a section to provide images. It has a place to upload artile image and intro image along with their captions. Please use it instead of adding an image to article directly.

Thank you.

My solution was to create an Intro text that would be picked up by the module, and then makes sure that the 'Show Intro Text' setting in the options tab of the article, was set to hide.

Therefore I had to repeat the text after the readmore tag that is set, and the images and captions would first go immediately after the readmore tag.

I also had to add an intro image too, as you suggested.
