#202421

Good day

I would like the “department” module on main page to be 4 columns block as i only have 8 articles to put into that space
when i select 4 columns in the alternative layout in the article category the module does not display on page

I would also like the department page which displays the departments to line up in the blocks, it looks out of proportion if the blocks is not the same height

The four-columns of Alternative Layout in Articles Category can not support your expectations, but you can try to use my customization below

+ Open templates/ja_medicare/html/mod_articles_category/five-columns.php file

Find and change

<div class="category-module-item <?php if($count > 5): echo "border-top"; endif; ?> <?php if($count % 5 != 0): echo "border-right"; endif; ?>">

To

<div class="category-module-item <?php if($count > 4): echo "border-top"; endif; ?> <?php if($count % 4 != 0): echo "border-right"; endif; ?>">

+ Create templates/ja_medicare/css/custom.css file and add new rule

@media (min-width: 768px) {
.category-module.five-columns .category-module-item {
border: none;
width: 25%;
padding-top: 50px;
padding-bottom: 0;
}
}

Let me know if it helps

I fixed the problem directly on your site because the text in Department module are very long, I wrote the cut_string function into templates/ja_medicare/html/com_content/category/department_item.php file for the purpose of stripping text

Beside that, I added new rule into templates/ja_medicare/css/custom.css file

.grid-view .item {
min-height: 350px;
}

You can check it on your site, let me know if it helps

I copied that function below


function cut_string($title, $max)
{
if($title!=''){
if(is_array($title)) list($string, $match_to) = $title;
else { $string = $title; $match_to = $title{0}; }

$match_start = stristr($string, $match_to);
$match_compute = strlen($string) - strlen($match_start);

if (strlen($string) > $max)
{
if ($match_compute < ($max - strlen($match_to)))
{
$pre_string = substr($string, 0, $max);
$pos_end = strrpos($pre_string, " ");
if($pos_end === false) $string = $pre_string."...";
else $string = substr($pre_string, 0, $pos_end)."...";
}
else if ($match_compute > (strlen($string) - ($max - strlen($match_to))))
{
$pre_string = substr($string, (strlen($string) - ($max - strlen($match_to))));
$pos_start = strpos($pre_string, " ");
$string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start);
if($pos_start === false) $string = "...".$pre_string;
else $string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start);
}
else
{
$pre_string = substr($string, ($match_compute - round(($max / 3))), $max);
$pos_start = strpos($pre_string, " "); $pos_end = strrpos($pre_string, " ");
$string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start, $pos_end)."...";
if($pos_start === false && $pos_end === false) $string = "...".$pre_string."...";
else $string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start, $pos_end)."...";
}

$match_start = stristr($string, $match_to);
$match_compute = strlen($string) - strlen($match_start);
}

return $string;
}else{
return $string ='';
}
}


With $title: string needs to trim
$max: Number character

Use it: cut_string($data, 50);
