Hi

I need to show the introtext in the bricks at the frontpage. I’ve succeeded in including the intro text with “item->introtext”. However, all tags are beeing stripped leaving the text unformatted. How can I prevent this and keep the formatting of the introtext. Modifying the helper.php settings doesn’t seem to make any difference…

Regards

I’m afraid I’m not quite getting what you are mentioning above. It would be awesome if you can possibly include URL of your site and a screenshot and description on that particular screenshot on what you would like to do. Otherwise, it’s like solving a puzzle without clue.

Thank you for your answer. I’m afraid that I can’t provide you with a URL as I’m developing locally.

I’m trying to modify brick.php to include the introtext below the title.

[PHP]
<h<?php echo $item_heading; ?> class=”brick-title”>
<a class=”mod-articles-category-title <?php echo $item->active; ?>” href=”<?php echo $item->link; ?>”><?php echo trim($item->title); ?></a>
</h<?php echo $item_heading; ?>>

<span class=”brick-description”>
<?php echo $item->introtext; ?>
</span>
[/PHP]

Using the above code kinda works but the formatting is stripped. How can I prevent the removal of the formatting? Changing helper.php doesn’t seem to do anything…

Any thoughts or suggestions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

I can get it working modifying modules/mod_articles_category/helper.php but then I’ll have to edit the file each and every time Joomla is updated.

We have customized helper.php file of component content in the template: templates/ja_argo/helper/helper.php, you can use this way to work with templates/ja_argo/html/mod_articles_category/brick.php file.

Hope it helps you to choose another way
