Intro texts dissappeared after updating the T4 System Plugin

dirk-k

Hello!

I just updated the T4 System Plugin to Version 2.3.6 and now in blog layout the intro texts are no longer displayed. I haven't changed anything except updating the T4 Plugin, so I assume there must be an issue.
Please, can you help?

Thanks for your time and kind support.

Try reinstalling 2.3.2. That fixed it on one of my sites. The update doesn't appear to cause problems with other sites I have, mostly with t4_bs5_blank & T4 Template Blank templates.

Thanks a lot, David. Reverting to a previous plugin solves the problem.
The problem first appears in version 2.3.4.

Wonder if anybody else got this issue and when it will be solved...
Or maybe is it related to certain configurations? Maybe I can fix it myself then.

Regards,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

I just installed this latest version of T4 plugin 2.3.6 + T4 Blank template in Joomla fresh package but no issue found.

You can update this install this latest version + share the super admin account of your site so I can take a look and check directly for you.

Hi Saguaros,

thank you for your reply. You may login now and have a look.
As soon as I install T4 System Plugin 2.3.4 or higher, the intro texts in blog view dissapear.
For example here:
https://poeschco.zetcom.eu/index.php/leitern/alu-anlegeleitern-einteilig

In the backend settings of this menu item, as I can see the Intro text option was turned off. I just enabled it and the intro text are showing now:

https://poeschco.zetcom.eu/index.php/leitern/alu-anlegeleitern-einteilig

Kindly check.

Oh my god... I'm so sorry, I didn't even realize this option...

Thank you very much, sagaros!

You're welcome 😉

hmm. now the intro text also appears in the article, but it should not.
I only want it on the blog.

So I still have to go back to T4 Plugin 2.3.3.
I think there is a mistake in the code of the newer versions. It should be possible to switch intro texts off in article view. This no longer works in Plugin 2.3.4+

The problem also occurs if you don't have any further reading in the blog, in which case you don't need to select Show intro text to see the texts!

Hi @dirk-k,

I have updated the override layout in the T4 Blank template on your website. Try to reinstall the T4 Framework latest version 2.3.6 and view the change.

Kind regards,

Hello cssyeah,

thank you for your kind support, the override works fine with 2.3.6.
Do I now have to insert the override in all installations with T4 System Plugin or will there be a general update for the plugin in which the issue is fixed?

Regards,
Dirk

Hi @dirk-k,
We have updated the T4 System Plugin and this issue will be included in the next version.

You can also manually fix it by opening the blog_item.php file in the "\plugins\system\t4\themes\base\html\com_content\category" path and replace the code below:

<?php if ($params->get('show_intro')) : ?>
  <div class="item-intro">
	<?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?>
  </div>
<?php endif; ?>

<div class="item-intro">
  <?php echo $this->item->introtext; ?>
</div>

Then save and reload your website to view the changes.

Kind regards
