Hi,
No matter what I do I can't get the introtext function to work. It's for sub-categories within a category. I set the introtext parameter within the category to show and set a word limit and in the sub-categories indicated that the parameters should be taken from the main category, but it doesn't work. I tried adding the introtext limit in the sub-categories too and in the items but they still don't work. Any ideas what else I can try. Introtext is also set to display in the main configuration parameters and everywhere else too. Thanks!

Had issues with this in the module when truncating ntros in items

The utilities function doesn't seem to work in the module - cant speak for sub cats :)

try editing this function 'wordLimit' in the file '/components/com_k2/helpers/utitlies.php':
change to this;

function wordLimit($str, $limit, $end_char = '…') {

if (trim($str) == '')
return $str;
if (strlen($str) > $limit) {
$str = strip_tags($str);
$str = substr($str, 0, $limit);
$end = strrpos($str, ' ');
if ($end === false) {
$end = $limit;
}
$string = substr($str, 0, $end) . '...';
}
return $string;

}

One assumes you're not having a "blonde" moment and have forgotten to put a readmore between introtext and fulltext in the editor???

It only works if you add the readomore!

Be Well,

Totally blond - I guess the pregmatch
preg_match('/\s*(?:\S*\s*){'.(int) $limit.'}/', $str, $matches);
is looking for the read more system tag. Doh

Still its nice to have the truncation regardless when the design space is tight.

cheers Chris
Off to pharmacy/chemist to buy some black hair die.....
