#183302

Hi there,

I’ve found discussion at http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/ja-content-slider-and-not-eglish-language/ very relevant to my issue but could not figure out what the solution is.

At my joomalex.com/ru you may see exactly with the issue is: if you go to the Russian side of my site (just click the Russian flag) the JA Newsticker module outputs question marks in rombs at the end of the titles.

Does this issue relate to my template or to the hosting configuration?

Please advise.

I am running JA Teline IV on Joomla 2.5.8,

You can try this way
<blockquote>Open modules/mod_janewsticker/helper.php file</blockquote>

public static function trimString($title, $max = 60)
{
if (strlen($title) > $max) {
return substr($title, 0, $max) . '...';
}
return $title;
}
change to

public static function trimString($title, $max = 60)
{
if($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 ='';
}
}

Let me know if it helps
