hi I’ve an article which shows only the end part of its text in the ja_news 1.3.1 module.
—————> frontpage screen:
—————>html editor of article screen:
i’ve tried to:
– delete <p> and </p> tags
– adding or remove image
– re-formatting text….The problem persists.
I’ve tested that if first page (home) starts show only the text after the last <br />.
So if i delete last <br /> it start with “I biglietti sono…” and no more with “Per informazioni…”thx for reply.
If developers or staff need more info i’ll be more than glad to give them more info! 🙂– web server: linux based with PHP 4.xx+ and PERL 5.6.1+;
– joomla version: joomla 1.5.3 from quickstart installer (since any other installation is bugged -> see this 3D without answer);ja_news module settings:

edit: THERE IS A CODE 5) TOO:
if i copy the code 1) and delete the image is all ok too.NOW:
how to get code 3) or 4) working well with <br />?Hi gaygiorgia,
The information you provided in Code 2, 3 and 4 and the corresponding resulting image confirmed the hypothesis in my previous post
***********************************
To summarize:The key here might be the position of the
<br />The text after the last line break –<br /> — shows up. So, I think just make sure that you do not use line break before the “Read more” in Joomla 1.5x or what is called the “Intro” text in Joomla 1.0.xx.
***********************************
Let’s forget about Code 1, for now, since that is not the convention in Joomla.Based from your response:
Code 2 and the corresponding output
<em>@gaygiorgia 64521 wrote:</em><blockquote>

OUTPUT CODE 1) and CODE 2): — OK —
is consistent with my hypothesis that the presence of the line break markup — <br /> — has an impact, without it, the Joomlart standard of
(mosimage} Introductory text here
or
(mosimage}
Introductory text here
works. Lesson, if you do not really need to have a line break, don’t use it.
If you read my previous post carefully, your observations:
CODE 3):
OUTPUT CODE 3): --- ERROR ---
CODE 4):
OUTPUT CODE 4) --- DIFFERENT ERROR ---
are both consistent with my hypothesis also that:
The text after the last line break –<br /> — shows up.
They are not different errors, as you put it. Both Code 3 and Code 4 — as shown by their corresponding OUTPUT behave exactly as I stated:
The text after the last line break –<br /> — shows up.
Just examine them more carefully. I will respond to your other questions in separate posting, so it is easier to dissect the problems more clearly.The line break (<br />) may a key role in regard missing text

Hi gaygiorgia,
You asked:
<em>@gaygiorgia 64521 wrote:</em><blockquote>

<em>@gaygiorgia 64521 wrote:</em><blockquote>CODE 1) :

</blockquote>which by the way is the usual way it is done to wrap an image in the standard html mark up. The only problem with this is that, you must guess where to place the image, after the text., and from my own experience with static html you may run into trouble, if you have a series of images that are aligned left and right. If you use small images, less of a problem.
A potential alternative solution:
In my first response to this thread, I stated also that, the pair of paragraph mark ups — <p> </p> — do not have the same effect as the line break (<br />).
So, if it is not too much inconsistent with your layout:
Try replacing the line break (<br />) with the the pair of paragraph mark ups — <p> </p> .
For example:
(mosimage)<p> First set of sentences here.</p> => meaning more than one sentence, like your post.
<p> Second set of sentences here.</p>
<p> Third set of sentences here.</p>
<p> Fouth set of sentences here.</p>
Note that in the Joomla scripts, what appears in the Homepage (either the JA FrontPage or JA News) ignore the the pair of paragraph mark ups — <p> </p> .
Rule:
If the total number of characters in the “<p> First set of sentences here.</p>” do not exceed the maximum characters you specified in the module for either the JA FrontPage or JA News, the next <p> Second set of sentences here.</p> are included, and possibly even the <p> Third set of sentences here.</p> — until the maximum characters you specified in the module for either the JA FrontPage or JA News has been reached.
I would be interested to see the grab image of the result when you replace the line break (<br />) with the the pair of paragraph mark ups — <p> </p> .
It goes without saying that the full article will show the spacing imposed by the pair of paragraph mark ups — <p> </p> . So, it would be educational for all of us also to see the layout of the full article.

Ok, your alternative artigianal solution works.
code:
output:
my alternative way to your alternative way is similar, but better if we want an output similar to <br />.
infact while <br> “takes only 1 row”, <p> “takes 2 rows”.
how to get the effect of a <br> without getting output problems?
By using <div>!!! infact as <br>, even <div> “takes only 1 row”.so with code:
i get the right ouput i want both in homepage and in single articles page.
THX JOOMLA STAFF… how to thank myself? :p:p:p

Yes gaygiorgia, I understand the impact of the paragraph mark ups being equivalent to two line spaces. That is why in some static html stuff, I prefer to use the line break, or even two line breaks, as they are much easier to use.
I did not know that it will accept and empty pair of <div></div>, i.e., no class definition. So, I assume it is a valid markup? You may know this better than I do. So, I learned something new myself, by responding.
