Hello,
I’d like to add intro text in my ja bulletin modules (most read and latest news)
I’ve tried added this to default.php but it does not seem to work:
<?php echo $item->introtext; ?>
Natively, JA Bulletin does not use introtext. Is there a way i can add this functionnality ?
Thanks

Hi jimbojia,

You open the file of modulesmod_jabulletinhelper.php search for this line of code
[php] $lists [$i]->text = htmlspecialchars ( $row->title ); [/php]

Change it to
[php]
$lists [$i]->text = htmlspecialchars ( $row->title );
$lists [$i]->introtext = $row->introtext;
[/php]

Now you have the introtext field for using and just try again.

I’ve created an modified version of the module to include the intro text. It’s working now on http://www.zerno.org.ua (second tab). If it’s needed, I can upload the whole archive.

Yes please and if you could help me locating the right file, it’ll be perfect as i also want to include author’s avatar there in some cases.
Thanks a lot

Attached is a modified version of JA Bulletin module v.1.0.3.
– added option to choose sorting field – by articles’ creation or publication date
– added option to add intro text
Note: the CSS files used for rendering could be modified to match the site’s style.
