Hello deblock!
The reason is from Length of title, it is so long, have 2 the solutions to fix this issue:
1) you set max length of title equal 200 into “Title Max Length” parameter,
2) or fix width of the module in css file:
you open file: /modules/mod_janewsticker/assets/style.css and find a code section:

[PHP]
.ja-headlines {
overflow: hidden;
width:auto;
position: relative !important;
height:16px;
}
[/PHP]
You change to :

[PHP]
.ja-headlines {
overflow: hidden;
width:270px;
position: relative !important;
height:16px;
}

good luck
[/PHP]

Unfortunately, neither of those were able to cut off long headlines. I just took out a couple of the “mega-items” and it all fits now. Thanks!

Is there any answer for this?:confused: I’m more interested on the “on click open in”, I’d like viewers to open the links in a new window…

Hello soaresa!

I will give you specific instructions to turn on “on click open in” params you would like,

– you open file: /modules/mod_jasticker/mod_jasticker.xml and add this block inside this.

[PHP]
<param name=”target” type=”list” default=”” label=”ON CLICK, OPEN IN” description=”ON CLICK, OPEN IN DESC”>
<option value=”_blank”>New Window with Browser Navigator</option>
<option value=””>Parent Window with Browser Naviagor</option>
</param>
[/PHP]
– you open file /modules/mod_janewsticker/mod_janewsticker.php,

at line 30:
[PHP]$target = $params->get( ‘target’ );[/PHP]
and replace them by my codes :
[PHP]
$target = $params->get( ‘target’ );
$targetLink = $target ? ‘target=”‘.$target.'”‘: “” ;
[/PHP]

– open file : /modules/mod_janewsticker/tmpl/default.php, at line 23:

[PHP]<a title=”<?php echo modJANewStickerHelper::trimString( trim(strip_tags($item->introtext) ), 300); ?>”[/PHP]

replace:
[PHP]<a <?php echo $targetLink;?> title=”<?php echo modJANewStickerHelper::trimString( trim(strip_tags($item->introtext) ), 300); ?>”[/PHP]

– Add this block into your language file:
[PHP]
ON CLICK, OPEN IN=On Click, Open In
ON CLICK, OPEN IN DESC=On Click, Open In
[/PHP]

1st question:
In the module’s configurations there is “Show HeadText” option.
At the same time template’s block “header.php” contains row <em><?php echo JText::_(‘Headlines’)?></em>
Why header text is set 2 times?

2nd question:
In Cyrillic languages words before 3 dots (where sentence is “cut”) I see a black rhomb with question mark inside (see attached picture).

3nd question:
If you put cursor over the text, beginning of respective article is shown. But I observed, if article contains (“) is breaks the tip text, it ends at first occur of “

Same in Greek. It happens with ja_news & ja_newsII modules as well..

I reported that a while ago but no fix has been issued…

I found by myself solution for question No.2.

So, in modulesmod_janewstickerhelper.php
replace
[php]return substr( $title, 0, $max ) . ‘…’;[/php]
with
[php]return mb_substr( $title, 0, $max ) . ‘…’;[/php]

I found solution for question No.3. It appeared to be a PHP bug in function strip_tags. For me it appears with double quotes (“), I found info about bug with single quote (‘).

Anyway, my solution (it covers both issue No.2 and No.3) is as follows:

in modulesmod_janewstickerhelper.php replace the entire function trimString with the new one:
[php]
/**
* Trim string with max specify. Updated by Gray to handle strip_tags bugs
*
* @param string $title
* @param integer $max
* @param bool True if text with HTML tags
* @return string
*/
function trimString( $title, $max = 60, $intro = false ){

if($intro ){
# Remove some symbols due to bugs in PHP strip_tags function
$remove = array(‘”‘, ”’); // double quotes and/or single quotes
$title = str_replace($remove, ”, $title);
$title = trim(strip_tags($title));
}

if(strlen($title) > $max){
return mb_substr($title, 0, $max) . ‘…’;
}
return $title;
}
[/php]
in modulesmod_janewstickertmpldefault.php
replace
<a title=”<?php echo modJANewStickerHelper::trimString( trim(strip_tags($item->introtext) ), 300); ?>” <?php echo $aClass ;?> href=”<?php echo modJANewStickerHelper::getLink($item, $userRSS); ?>”><span><?php echo modJANewStickerHelper::trimString( $item->title, $titleMaxChars );?></span>
with:
<a title=”<?php echo modJANewStickerHelper::trimString($item->introtext, 300, true); ?>” <?php echo $aClass ;?> href=”<?php echo modJANewStickerHelper::getLink($item, $userRSS); ?>”><span><?php echo modJANewStickerHelper::trimString( $item->title, $titleMaxChars );?></span>

All Joomlart templates look unfinished, published to early, without polish other developers offer. Joomlart has no user guides of any kind relying basically on forums, that is – help yourselves people. It takes them weeks or longer to replay to posts, users are begging for answers, and sometimes one of the developers in Vietnam offers two lines on some subject. Very, very un-business like approach. The whole Joomlart affair looks like some amateur or one-person affair: the guy has no time to answer questions.

It seems that mb_string is not supported by PHP 5.2.9 that we use. This is probably the issue why we get gibberish characters in mod_janews2 and mod_janews at the trimming point of a sentence…

Hm… Interesting. According to PHP.net mb_substr is supported by PHP 4 >= 4.0.6 &PHP 5.
Actually, puting mb_substr instead of substr resolved my problem with strage rhomb at the end of trimmed string.

mx5gr, what message do you get with mb_substr?

Check if in php.ini line
extension=php_mbstring.dll
is not commented.
