My JA_Newsticker module shows some odd characters in some of the healdines – �.
? in a black diamond at the end of the headline before the dots (…)

Tried to convert all the files associated with the module to UTF-8, but that didn’t help.

Also if I make the module wider (like 90px) to accomodate longer headines, it makes tow rows – width is set to auto in style.css ?!?

Feedback appreciated.

Thanks

YOu try to open this file: modulesmod_janewstickerhelper.php and find the following code:
[PHP]
function trimString( $title, $max=60 ){
if( strlen($title) > $max ){
return substr( $title, 0, $max ) . ‘…’;
}
return $title;
}
[/PHP]
replace by:

[PHP]

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

[/PHP]
