Hi there,
I have just checked but your site display as well.
And please note it’s 50 characters not words 🙂

Thank you,
Viet Vu

Hi there,


/**
* Method to truncate introtext
*
* The goal is to get the proper length plain text string with as much of
* the html intact as possible with all tags properly closed.
*
* @param string $html The content of the introtext to be truncated
* @param integer $maxLength The maximum number of charactes to render
*
* @return string The truncated string
*/
public static function truncate($html, $maxLength = 0)
{
$baseLength = strlen($html);

// First get the plain text string. This is the rendered text we want to end up with.
$ptString = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $html, $maxLength, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = false);

for ($maxLength; $maxLength < $baseLength;)
{
// Now get the string if we allow html.
$htmlString = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $html, $maxLength, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = true);

// Now get the plain text from the html string.
$htmlStringToPtString = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $htmlString, $maxLength, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = false);

// If the new plain text string matches the original plain text string we are done.
if ($ptString == $htmlStringToPtString)
{
return $htmlString;
}

// Get the number of html tag characters in the first $maxlength characters
$diffLength = strlen($ptString) - strlen($htmlStringToPtString);

// Set new $maxlength that adjusts for the html tags
$maxLength += $diffLength;

if ($baseLength <= $maxLength || $diffLength <= 0)
{
return $htmlString;
}
}

return $html;
}


These code would cause little bit trouble with UTF-8 characters 🙂

Thank you,
Viet Vu

This belongs to mod_articles_category – default module of Joomla, you will need to hack in code to achieve that. Try with my tweak as below:

– Open modules/mod_articles_category/helper.php file

– Find and change


public static function truncate($html, $maxLength = 0)
{
$baseLength = strlen($html);

// First get the plain text string. This is the rendered text we want to end up with.
$ptString = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $html, $maxLength, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = false);

for ($maxLength; $maxLength < $baseLength;)
{
// Now get the string if we allow html.
$htmlString = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $html, $maxLength, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = true);

// Now get the plain text from the html string.
$htmlStringToPtString = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $htmlString, $maxLength, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = false);

// If the new plain text string matches the original plain text string we are done.
if ($ptString == $htmlStringToPtString)
{
return $htmlString;
}

// Get the number of html tag characters in the first $maxlength characters
$diffLength = strlen($ptString) - strlen($htmlStringToPtString);

// Set new $maxlength that adjusts for the html tags
$maxLength += $diffLength;

if ($baseLength <= $maxLength || $diffLength <= 0)
{
return $htmlString;
}
}

return $html;
}


To

public static function truncate($html, $maxLength = 0)
{
$baseLength = mb_strlen($html);

// First get the plain text string. This is the rendered text we want to end up with.
$ptString = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $html, $maxLength, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = false);

for ($maxLength; $maxLength < $baseLength;)
{
// Now get the string if we allow html.
$htmlString = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $html, $maxLength, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = true);

// Now get the plain text from the html string.
$htmlStringToPtString = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $htmlString, $maxLength, $noSplit = true, $allowHtml = false);

// If the new plain text string matches the original plain text string we are done.
if ($ptString == $htmlStringToPtString)
{
return $htmlString;
}

// Get the number of html tag characters in the first $maxlength characters
$diffLength = mb_strlen($ptString) - mb_strlen($htmlStringToPtString);

// Set new $maxlength that adjusts for the html tags
$maxLength += $diffLength;

if ($baseLength <= $maxLength || $diffLength <= 0)
{
return $htmlString;
}
}

return $html;
}

Please note that this change is applied directly to core module of Joomla so you should consider to take a backup of this change when update new Joomla version.

Let me know if it helps
