Hi I faced wrong symbols displaying from the beginning. I have that symbol — � in several modules as I guess. Because changing Ja Slidecontnent.ini to UTF-8 could help with ������ change to cyrilllic “Подробнее” which is “Read more” in Russian.
Here is the code, probably its.ini file I have to change to UTF-8. How can I retrieve the .ini?
Maybe you can give another idea how to display cyrillic script correctly. That happens ONLY to titles and subtitles when displayed SHORTENED on main page and ONLY in some modules like JA-slidecontent. Usually after you go to the article it is ok. As I guess I wiil have to change title and subtitle display options for JA-slidecontent. Correct me if I miss something.

Regards,
Here is an example of code displayed:

<a class="ja-title" href="/index.php/heartland/item/238-name-of-the-article-in-cyrillic">text-in-cyrillic-Да-это-текст-and-wrong-symbol�...</a>

<a class="ja-title" href="/index.php/epigrammatrix">text-in-cyrillic-Да-это-текст-and-wrong-symbol�...</a>

Also there’s no module Ja-title, it’s a class:laugh:. If so could you also tell which module is responsible for showing heading and subtitles?

WHY PICK US is JA Side News module
Open modules/mod_jasidenews/helper.php
Find trimString function

function trimString($title, $max = 60)
{

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

change to

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 ='';
}
}

Thnx Ninja Lead, I changed lines for trimString function in file modules/mod_jasidenews/helper.php
Problem almost solved:
that was before<
that is after, it helped and there are no more � except one on the right. See attachment.
accordion is ok now.

In case there is code from helper.php from side
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 ='';
}
}


And BTW — I tried to save helper.php in UTF-8 hoping it would help. In fact will it work?(!)
P.S.> JAT3 Cache has been cleaned

The item which still had the odd symbol in JA Side News, had had a dash in its title.
I renamed it using underscore (_) instead of the dash and same result. Then I removed the dash at all keeping only letters in title.
Reconfigured Ja Side News for “Why Pick Us” setting title max length: 40, description: 70
And it works even with dashes etc! Thanks for decision Ninja Lead!
