Hi!

I want to make a few changes for the description of articles in the grid-view. First, I’ve increased the height in my custom.css:


.fixel-grid .items.image.rotateY article .back .article-intro {
height: 100px;
}


Now, I want to truncate the description-string with a PHP-function to cut the string behind the last word – not somewhere between the letters. Where do I have to place the PHP-Code? Thanks for your help!

Edit: I recognized, that the whole text of the article is loaded – so I think, I’ve to do it with JavaScript. Could someone tell me, where the right .php-file is located?

You can apply my solution on this thread into JA Fixel Template and make changes from templates/ja_fixel/html/com_content/featured folder.

Thanks – I’ve tried it, but without success. I will do some more checks the next days…

Can you send me the URL of your site and screenshot to illustrate where you need to truncate the description of articles?

I will have a closer look and give you suggestion then.

Thanks for your pm. Please follow steps below:

+ Download and extract my attached file

+ Copy default_item_images.php file into templates/ja_fixel/html/com_content/featured/ folder (Please back-up your old file first)

+ In the default_item_images.php file, you will see the limit text: 50. You can change the value as you wish.

<?php echo cut_string($this->item->introtext, 50); ?>
