Hi guys,

I have a really silly problem driving me nuts.

I cant seem to hide the “read more” option even though i have done so in the global settings…

I dont have any text in the main content box

Really annoying, someone help!:confused:

Where on your page/what are you trying to hide? In the JA News module or where? Articles? Do you have a screenshot?

the cursed read mores are on every where – except for static stuff…

It should be possible to hide this in the global settings. Without a live site to look at or a screenshot or something it is virtually impossible to see what the problem might be…

I have the exact same problem. I changed it in global settings but can’t get rid of it (read more) in JA News. Can Erik help??? Here is my site http://www.cxiexchange.com

Hi
I think that if you publish text in the second text box when writing an article it automatically adds the read more link. Try putting all of the text in the first box.

I used a new module instead of JA News and I finally got rid of the “read more”. I think it a workaround a bug though…

While the rest of you want to get rid of it, I want it — that darned read more link would be very helpful for me to make it clear to my viewers that there is indeed more to read… I am using the JA News module on the front page of the Polaris template — I’ve got my “sections” very shortened, so you can only see a blurb of the article, and it is not very clear always to click on the title of the article to read more.

Also, how do I change the section/category header link in JA News to link to a blog style display rather than a table style? Anyone? Any answers would be of great help…

Hi,
Open file modules/mod_janews.php And fine line:
[PHP]$link = sefRelToAbs( ‘index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=’.$rows[0]->sectionid.’&id=’. $rows[0]->catid . $Itemid );[/PHP]
replace with:
[PHP]$link = sefRelToAbs( ‘index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&sectionid=’.$rows[0]->sectionid.’&id=’. $rows[0]->catid . $Itemid );[/PHP]

It will be your way.

Having the same problem with the ja-news module I can’t hide the read more links nor can I switch off the linked titles, I’ve set everything in both global config and the home page menu item & the articles themselves :confused:

To remove the readmore link do the following;
On line 96 in modules > ja_news > headlineloader.php
delete


echo "<a href="$link" class="readon">".textprocess(_READ_MORE)."</a>";

to remove the link of the title do the following
On line 94 in modules > ja_news > headlineloader.php
Change


echo "<a href="$link" class="ja-newstitle" title="".textprocess($firstnew->title)."">".textprocess($firstnew->title)."</a>n";

To


echo "<a ="$link" class="ja-newstitle" title="".textprocess($firstnew->title)."">".textprocess($firstnew->title)."</a>n";

EDIT* You can also comment out the read more line and it will work too.
