Every time we create a new article, all of the content sits within a block quote.

Please see example here:

We have ensured block quote is turned off in articles too, but still no joy…
We don’t want all of the article content to sit in a blockquote… It’s affecting our development of the site.

Please investigate and advise asap.

Thanks

I guess magic quote is enabled on your site, in Joomla 3, it should be turn off.

Hi @saguaros,

Thank you for your response.

I’m not sure if that is the issue, as you will see some of the sample articles display a block quote with no problem…
Such as (http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/378096/ead0eb07438ff93e2f8ac93bccf1c4a7)

But when we create a new article, all of the content is placed within a block quote (even when we haven’t selected a blockquote).
Such as (http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/378102/7658840be71df67ad6285d1703bc4126)

Please investigate and advise.
Thanks

You can simply switch default template to standard template of Joomla. If problem persists then it comes from Joomla, not our template.

Did you ever try to check whether magic quote is turned OFF or not

Hi, @saguaros,

For testing purposes, I’ve changed the template to a standard Joomla template and we no longer have the issue.

But when I change back to JA Charity template the issue with the block quote reoccurs.

Please investigate and advise.

Thank you

Hi

The problem come from the way you create article. In Joomla, it’s better if you specify the intro text and full text for article. You didn’t do this so that when showing on your site, it considers all text as intro text (which is styled within quote due to the concept of this template).

There are 2 ways to handle in this case:
1. When adding a new artilce, you can specify the intro text by adding a readmore like I’ve applied to the article named About in your site: http://prntscr.com/7pa1id

2. In case that you don’t way to add this readmore button, you can remove the blockquote tag for intro text by opening this file: root/templates/ja_charity/html/layouts/joomla/content/item/default.php

Look for this snippet of code:


<?php if ($params->get('show_intro', 0)) : ?>
<blockquote class="article-intro" itemprop="description">
<?php echo $item->introtext; ?>
</blockquote>
<?php endif; ?>


then change the <blockquote> to any HTML tag as you want.

P/s: I recommend you to use the first way as it still keeps the style for intro text in article and it’s default way of Joomla.

Thanks @saguaros, that done the trick…

So if we wanted to remove “blockquote” style from the intro text, we would just use step 2 above?

Many thanks

Yes, and remember that the intro text of articles on your site will not show in ‘blockquote’ anymore.
