When the module truncates descriptions it shows ??? or square signs before the …

Files related with this module (ja_fubix/html/mod_jasidenews/ and modules/mod_jasidenews) – seems that they all are in UTF-8 encoding.
Still when checking at W3 validator it says there is non-UTF signs…
Seems that some file in this module is non-UTF, but I cannot locate it.

Hi Sirbal,

I’m afraid that in this case, you need to pm me ftp and admin account for further check. We will try and help you out.

Regards

I only access folder JA Fubix Template and changed data in it (from your pm) but doesn’t work. I’m not sure ftp account of your pm is correct?

You can pm again with admin access and ftp account, I will help you fix this problem directly on your site or you can try to fix this problem as follows

+ Download and extract my attached file

+ Copy it into templates/ja_fubix/html/mod_jasidenews/ path

+ Remember to backup old file before updating

Let me know the result

Thanks for the answer.
Tried to do according your instructions but with no success.
Expanded FTP to the whole domain.
Checked the rights, your user is able to create and delete files.

I have fixed the problem of your site this way

+ Open modules/mod_jasidenews/helper.php file

add new function


function cutString($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 ='';
}
}

+ Open Open modules/mod_jasidenews/sidenews_content.php and sidenews_image.php file

from
<blockquote>$helper->trimString</blockquote>
change to
<blockquote>$helper->cutString</blockquote>

Please check the problem of your site again, let me know if it helps
