I’m using quite a few JA Side News modules in a Mero site, but they don’t seem to accept text formatting. Is there a way to enable this?

I cannot post the site link here as a login is required to view it. Shall I PM it to you?

I’m afraid I’m not quite getting what you are mentioning above. Right now its difficult to guess the issue and give solution to you. It would be awesome if you can possibly include a screenshot and description on that particular screenshot on what you would like to do. It would help to understand the issue and give you specific answers.

Sorry for the delay replying. I didn’t receive a notification.

OK. The JA Side News module displays articles and/or an image in sections. The article is formatted with line break, bold text, underlined text, etc. The problem is that the text that displays in the module is stripped of all that formatting.

Here’s two screen shots. The first shows the article as it is formatted, the second shows how it appears in JA Side News.

In JA SideNews module, we customize the way content displays and it drops all html format of content. But if you don’t want to do this you can fix it with my below solution

+ Open templates/ja_mero/html/mod_jasidenews/default.php file

From


<?php if ($descMaxChars!=0) : ?>
<?php echo $helper->trimString( strip_tags($item->introtext), $descMaxChars); ?>
<?php endif;?>


change to


<?php if ($descMaxChars!=0) : ?>
<?php echo $helper->trimString( $item->introtext, $descMaxChars); ?>
<?php endif;?>


+ Open modules/mod_jasidenews/helper.php file

Line 575 remove this script

from

$subject = strip_tags($subject);

change to

//$subject = strip_tags($subject);

Thanks Ninja Lead! You sorted it 🙂 The other problem with responsive formatting sorted itself when I added an image to the displayed article.
