I just wanted to know how to remove the default “…” that shows up on the Headline module.

For example, it says:

Canon ESO 400D

Vel arcu in Curabitur est at id ut Sed urna tincidunt. Justo cursus ante amet fringilla a tincidunt ac montes dui nec. Elit dapibu…

I want to get rid of the stuff highlighted in red.

I think this is what you are looking for.

In your Extensions there is a folder called mod_janews_fp_j15. Open that and find helper.php

Around line 382 you will find

if ($length <= 0) {
$arr[$i] .= '...';
}

change that to

if ($length <= 0) {
$arr[$i] .= '';
}

You will find one more instance at around line 426

if ($length <= 0) {
$arr[$i] .= '...';

change to

if ($length <= 0) {
$arr[$i] .= '';

Be sure to make a backup copy before you make changes.

Hope this helps.

I think also the … is there because the text is actually longer than what is shown. So if the text is shorter, the … will not show up.

The … is there to help people know that there is more text to the article than what they can see. Personally I think I would keep it there, but only take it off by making the text shorter, or by allowing more text to be shown before …
