Im having a weird problem with ja-news-frontpage. I chose to display 4 articles but the first 2 only show the headings with no text at all. I check all the characters parameters and everything is correct. The way I know is because the next 2 articles show the full text with specified character length. I have installed the module and mambot several times.
Im also having the same problem with ja-news where it only shows the title headings and no text underneath…..

Anyone has an idea why this would happen?

I have the same problem, and having no solution, but I tested the behavior and found a reason.:)

The problem depends on the Max Char Settings in the module settings and the length of your text.
Please try the following:
increase the number of the characters in your text greater than the max char number. Check if the text get’s now displayed.

E.g.
Max Chars of Featured News: 5
Max Chars of normal frontpage news: 5
Length of your Text: 4 characters -> text will not be shown
Length of your Text: 5 characters -> text will not be shown
Length of your Text: 6 characters -> text will be dispayed !!!!

Could some of the develper will have a look into this and perhaps provide a quick bug fix? Would be great.

Tested using janews fp 1.3.1 with joomla 1.5.3

Hi, I have also experienced the same problem, and I guess the key to the solution is the text editor.
Some text editors (mainly if their settings are not proper) creates text that is not perfectly readable to the FP modul.
If you change to the HTML mode of your article, and you know HTML, you may see what might be wrong in the intro text.
If it does not help, tell me which text editor you use, and copy the HTML code of the text + pic that you need to insert on the front page.

Hi all !
This is way for solved this issue :
Open headline_fp.php file in modulesmod_janews_fptmpl folder , find following code line at about line 47:


<?php echo $bigmaxchar ? $news->introtext1 : $news->introtext;?>


replace it by :


<?php
if($bigmaxchar > strlen($news->introtext)) {
echo $news->introtext;
} else {
echo $news->introtext1;
}
?>


JA will early update it . 😉

hainn84, thank you, it works brilliant!

Sometimes when using default.fp.php layout style I experience the same problem.
The intro text for the normal frontpage news (NOT for the featured news) is not always shown.
Also sometimes it is also the case with the intro text of the janews module.
Do you think the same solution can be applied to both problem as well?

honestly, this is my first contribution with an answer. YES. copy the code as instructed by hainn84 into default.fp.php look for the same line of code from the headline.php file.

I’ve got the same problem with JA-Teline II but i’m using default_fp.php instead of headline_fp.php. So i changed my code in default_fp.php.

[PHP]<?php echo $bigmaxchar?$news->introtext1:$news->introtext;?>[/PHP]
with
[PHP] <?php
if($bigmaxchar > strlen($news->introtext)) {
echo $news->introtext;
} else {
echo $news->introtext1;
}
?>
[/PHP]

and

[PHP]<?php echo $smallmaxchar?$news->introtext1:$news->introtext;?>[/PHP]
with
[PHP]<?php
if($smallmaxchar > strlen($news->introtext)) {
echo $news->introtext;
} else {
echo $news->introtext1;
}
echo ‘<!– DEBUG
Lenght of introtext:’.strlen($news->introtext).’
Lenght of introtext1:’.strlen($news->introtext1).’
Maximum lengh:’.$smallmaxchar.’–>’;
?>
[/PHP]

Currently I’ve 4 news: one is “BIG” and it shows perfectly and 3 are “small”. One of these is shown ok and the debug is ok too:
<!– DEBUG
Lenght of introtext:265
Lenght of introtext1:0
Maximum lengh:8000
–>
Second and third news is not ok. Both are:
<!– DEBUG
Lenght of introtext:0
Lenght of introtext1:0
Maximum lengh:8000–>

I think that something is going wrong with foreach iteration or with helper file since I didn’t change anything else on the source code of ja_teline_II. Am I wrong? Another thing is this: if I remove the images the text is shown correctly. If I put images not! :-O

Hi thewiper,
the following changes are based on “ja tellin II” version 1.5 for Joomla! 1.5.5

edit modulesmod_janews_fptmpldefault_fp.php in the following way.

replace first occurence of

<?php echo $bigmaxchar?$news->introtext1:$news->introtext;?>

with

<?php
if($bigmaxchar > strlen($news->introtext)) {
echo $news->introtext;
} else {
echo $news->introtext1;
}
?>

also replace the second occurence of

<?php echo $smallmaxchar?$news->introtext1:$news->introtext;?>

with

<?php
if($bigmaxchar > strlen($news->introtext)) {
echo $news->introtext;
} else {
echo $news->introtext1;
}
?>

that should fix your problem

Sw42it, unfortunately you code didn’t help me. If you look at my previeus post it’s the same thing I did. Closer: if I remove images from my post the text shows correctly, if I put images the text is not working.
