Hi, how do I change the slideshow and sidenews for a certain amount of words selected? Now you can set the number of characters. How do I change it? Which files are responsible for this and what the script. Is anyone able to write this?

Hi edroga,

If you need to change maximum characters to maximum words, you will need to hack code of modules. I am sorry wont be able to help you with this customization but can give you the file name where you can try it out :

You can go to module folder -> helpers/helper.php and rewrite function cut string.

Unfortunately, I can not do that. : (
I once did something similar in jateline II under the relevant functions. But here I have no idea how to change it. Does anybody can help me?

[PHP]/*Separate word*/
function separate_word($str, $numberofwords) {
$array = explode(” “, $str);
$sizeofstr = sizeof($array);

if ($numberofwords > $sizeofstr) {
return $str;
}

$strReturn = ”;
for($i = 0; $i < $numberofwords; $i++ ) {
$strReturn .= ‘ ‘ . $array[$i];
}

}[/PHP]
[PHP]/*Count words*/
$number_of_word = explode(” “, $row->introtext);
$sizeofword = sizeof($number_of_word);

if ($maxchars && $sizeofword > $maxchars) {
$doc = JDocument::getInstance ();
if (function_exists(‘mb_substr’)) {
$row->introtext1 = SmartTrim::separate_word($row->introtext, $maxchars);
} else {
$row->introtext1 = SmartTrim::separate_word($row->introtext, $maxchars);
}
}[/PHP]
