Hello!

I have a problem with Ja SideNews module. At this time I use this module at 3 positions (please check Module Manager). If you check content-mass-bottom position at any news page, there are Ja SideNews module with 6 latest news. And some of the news contain diamond-shaped symbol at the end of description (screenshot attached with yellow mark).

Possible hint: I had the same problem with news titles at the “left” position due to special «» symbols in the title.

2. Ja SideNews does not work with cache. If I turn on “Use Cache” in module’s advanced options and set any time (f.e. 60 – 1min), this module will not update at all until I manually cleared all cache and refresh page.
Cache enabled in in Template options.

Hello metastorm,

Yes, not only JA SideNews but all modules will not update until site cache expires, It’s Joomla cache feature.

For your problem with module text, please PM me with your FTP account for checking. You should also include this forum thread URL in your PM, so I can follow it.

Regards.

Hi,

I’ve fixed � characters by changing in files
modulesmod_jasidenewshelper.php and
modulesmod_janewstickerhelper.php code

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

to

function trimString( $title, $max=60 ){
return JString::substr( strip_tags($title), 0, $max );
}

Thanks to Saguaros in this post.
