Cannot display/only display few words Intro text

saguaros

I do see that code:

<?php 
        $this->item->introtext = substr(strip_tags($this->item->introtext), 0, 200);
        $this->item->introtext = substr($this->item->introtext, 0, strrpos($this->item->introtext, ' ')) . " ...";
        echo $this->item->introtext;
      ?>

Kindly check again.

saguaros I cannot see this

saguaros I tried this in blog item but it makes the home page repeat featured articles.

monkeyjr It's weird, kindly share the admin + FTP account so I can check it directly for you

monkeyjr

saguaros I prefer post php file instead as security issue.

I compared files and turns out that I used the new files in which the team have updated a bit to fix some issues so they look a bit different from files on your site now. I attached them here:

blog-featured-item.zip

4kB

You can unzip and see the same.

Then check my suggestion in my above first post.

P/s: you can share the info by editing Fields in your first post so only Moderators can see, it's not in public.

I changed code in default_item.php as you mention above will become this

monkeyjr

I still cannot find this in blog_item.php

<?php 
  $rawText = strip_tags($this->item->introtext);
  $frags = explode(' ', $rawText);
  $max = 20;
  $count = count($frags) > $max ? $max : count($frags);
  $introtext = '';
  for ($i=0; $i < $count; $i++) { 
      $introtext .= $frags[$i] . ' ';
  }

  echo $introtext . '...';
?>

Just add new article by other user without problem but not in old one. No Read More line set in all articles.

monkeyjr Could you share the login info of your site?

It's hard to predict the issue on your site without seeing it closely.

You can reach me via skype: hiennm88 for direct message, it will save time for both of us.

Now why full article display in the home page?

saguaros

Hi monkeyjr

Kindly check the screenshot I sent you:

The featured / category blog page will show introtext of article on frontend but you did not set introtext for article yet so it will consider all text of article as intro text.

You can add the readmore button as screenshot above.

Regards

monkeyjr

I want to display without the whole article, what can I do?

saguaros

monkeyjr Kindly check the screenshot I sent, you can simply open an article and add the readmore button to separate introtext and full text.

monkeyjr

saguaros I know about the read more line, but I don’t want to show full articles in the home page, only selected 4 articles at top and stop. I don’t know why 2 full articles show in home page

saguaros

monkeyjr I don’t know why 2 full articles show in home page

Because there is no readmore button for that article yet. Kindly check the article ID: 5
