Is it possible to set a Max Words rather than Max Chars value in the Ja News and JA News Frontpage module?
When set max chars, last word is breaking and it’s looking not good. I think Max Words will be better solution.

Great job 😀 but I have template Ja Vauxite and this file: blog_item.php in template folder need modification, because I have this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method modJaNewsHelper::getallcatidsbycat() in /xxx/templates/ja_vauxite/html/mod_janews/blog_item.php on line 26

And one more request 🙂 please make Max Words in Ja News Frontpage Module (with Ja Vauxite template)

Hi

Open blog_item.php, find following code:

[PHP] echo $row->introtext1;[/PHP]

and change to:

[PHP] echo $row->introtext1 . ‘…’;[/PHP]

Thanks, but I still have a problem, only dots appear in mod_janews on the homepage, after passing through a particular section, unfortunately, they do not already have, just not displayed on the main page in mod_janews_fp

ok already solved the problem, simply replace the file on helper.php

[PHP]$row->introtext1 = SmartTrim::separate_word($row->introtext, $maxchars);[/PHP]

change to:

[PHP]$row->introtext1 = SmartTrim::separate_word($row->introtext, $maxchars) . ‘…’;[/PHP]

why isn’t this a standard feature yet after so many years…. we had to do a modification like this 3 yrs ago in Teline 2, and it is still not default behaviour… guess what Joomlart, people don’t want to read broken off words, it looks amate…
