Hi,

I have the teline III v2 template and have a problem with the especial characteres as á,é etc. and JA News frontpage

In th ja news fp module you specify the numbers of characters that you want for the preview in the parameter “Max Chars of Featured Articles” and “Max Chars of Normal Frontpage Artcile”, thats ok, but when the cutting character is an special one (ó) an in html is written as ó the preview is shown as &oac… example:

manipulación

manipulaci&o… . (READ MORE)

Any solution? It would be nice that you can define if you want to cut the text by characters or complete words.

thanks!
Alberto

You open the file: modulesmod_janews_fphelpershelper.php andf ind the following code :

[PHP]
if (function_exists ( ‘mb_substr’ )) {
$row->introtext1 = SmartTrim::mb_trim ( $row->introtext, 0, $maxchars, $doc->_charset );
} else {
$row->introtext1 = SmartTrim::trim ( $row->introtext, 0, $maxchars );
}
[/PHP]

replace:

[PHP]
$row->introtext1 = JString::substr( strip_tags($row->introtext), 0, $maxchars );
[/PHP]

Would you please explain how to turn the description off? If I put 0 for the Max Chars, then the whole content will be shown, and if I go for 1, then: “…”. I want only the title of the content with image on the frontpage.
