Hello

Im setting up the slideshow module but looks like it doesnt recognize the tittle and description max lenght parameters.

It always show 60 as max characters (title + description). The tittle max lenght field doesnt matter what number is there, it is a ignored field.

If the description max length is lower than 60 it will work “ok” (tittle + description) not only decription, but if the number is more than 60 it will be ignore, always take 60 as max.

any solution?

thanks.

I take it that you have cleared your “JAT3 Clean Cache” the cache in Joomla back-end and your browser cache as well?

I had something similar on another template and ended up having to amend the raw file but I can not remember which this was, I will take a look and see if I can jog my memory.

hello, already cleaned the cache and the JAT3 cache, also i disable the cache in the advance parameters of the JA SLIDESHOW module settings.

I tried to edit the mod_jaslideshow3.php file in modules/mod_jaslideshow3/

$titleMaxChars = (int) $tmpParams->get('title_max_chars', 60);
$descMaxChars = (int) $tmpParams->get('maxchars', 60);

to

$titleMaxChars = (int) $tmpParams->get('title_max_chars', 200);
$descMaxChars = (int) $tmpParams->get('maxchars', 200);

also i had tried to edit /templates/ja_tiris/html/mod_jaslideshow3/default.php file

<div class="ja-slide-descs">

<?php foreach($captionsArray as $desc) {?>

<div class="ja-slide-desc"><?php echo $helper->trimString( $desc, $descMaxChars, $includeTags );?></div>

<?php }?>

</div>

to

<div class="ja-slide-descs">

<?php foreach($captionsArray as $desc) {?>

<div class="ja-slide-desc"><?php echo $helper->trimString( $desc, 200, $includeTags );?></div>

<?php }?>

</div>

and it doesnt work.

I am afraid I can help no more on this subject, the past amendment I referred to above was for the Mosets Tree Component and not Joomlart related, sorry.

found it! to fix the max lenght problem on manual way must edit the file /modules/mod_jaslideshow3/helpers/helper.php

function getListImages($params)
{
$folder = $params->get('folder', 'images/stories/fruit');
$orderby = $params->get('source-images-orderby', '0');
$sort = $params->get('source-images-sort', '0');
$descriptions = $params->get('description', "");
$thumbWidth = $params->get('thumbWidth', 60);
$thumbHeight = $params->get('thumbHeight', 60);
$mainWidth = $params->get('mainWidth', 360);
$mainHeight = $params->get('mainHeight', 240);
$descMaxChars = $params->get('maxchars', 60);


to

function getListImages($params)
{
$folder = $params->get('folder', 'images/stories/fruit');
$orderby = $params->get('source-images-orderby', '0');
$sort = $params->get('source-images-sort', '0');
$descriptions = $params->get('description', "");
$thumbWidth = $params->get('thumbWidth', 60);
$thumbHeight = $params->get('thumbHeight', 60);
$mainWidth = $params->get('mainWidth', 360);
$mainHeight = $params->get('mainHeight', 240);
$descMaxChars = $params->get('maxchars', 200);/*set the max characters you want here (example:200) */

I need a fix for this as well. Why is it working for the title, but not for the description? …

Hi rsydtems,

In the module back-end you have a field of Description Max Length just need to enter the number of characters for description that you want to display there 🙂

Hi Sherlock,

I would like the length of the black background of the description to be automatically adjusted, depending on the length of the description, the same as how the black title background works.

Hi rsytems,

I installed a demo of this template for checking, when I decreased the “Description Max Length” value in back-end then check in the front-end I see the black background was adjusted automatically it had been shorten, if your module is not latest version you should upgrade it, if possible you can pm me your url, the admin account for taking a look 🙂

I was on holidays so answer is a bit late..

It is indeed shortened after changing that setting. But I would like it to adapt to each description. Now the description bar stays the same length. The title bar is working good.

For example:

Description:

Short description
Very very long description

For each image, now the description bar stays the same length, I want it to be shorter, when the actual description is shorter compared to another image.

Hi ssystems,

You can open the file of modulesmod_jaslideshowassetsthemestirisstyle.css look for this css rule
#ja-slideshow .maskDesc .ja-slide-desc {
color: # fff
font-size: 100%;
left: 30px;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 145px;
width: 60%;
}

and remove the width defined here, change it to
#ja-slideshow .maskDesc .ja-slide-desc {
color: # fff
font-size: 100%;
left: 30px;
padding: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 145px;

}

Hope it help !
