Title display gives awful display.
Since the titles of the articles does not have the same number of characters, the title is, depending of the article, displayed on 1, 2 or 3 … lines.
The result is that images are not properly aligned, giving an awful aspect.

How to limit number of characters in Title to overcome this situation ?

An alternate solution could be to swap image and title as indicated here http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/display-title-under-image/ however I would avoid to modify code.

I’m so sorry JA Content Slider does not support option to drop text title. If you are developer you can customize it this way open default.php as this link you mentioned.

Add new script below


function cut_string($title, $max)
{
if($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 ='';
}
}


And you can use it to drop title text


<?php if( $params->get( 'showtitle' ) ) { ?>
<div class="ja_slidetitle">
<?php echo ($params->get( 'link_titles' ) ) ? '<a href="'.$link.'" title="">'.$contn->title.'</a>' : cut_string($contn->title,30);?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
