What do I edit to show more than the first paragraph in the front page body section? I would want to use the read-more bar instead of breaking on paragraphs. My articles have multiple paragraphs in the intro section.

In html/com_content/frontpage/default_leading.php I see a line:

<?php echo JA_Tools::getFirstP($this->item->text); ?>

What can I do to show the article up to the read-more tag?

I figured it out. In ja_templatetools_1.5.php I commented out the stripos.


function getFirstP ($text, $tag = 'P') {
$pos = stripos($text, '</p>');
if ($pos === false)
$content = $text;
else
$content = $text; //substr($text, 0, $pos+4);
return $content;
}

LOL, your like me. Post a question….and you end up figuringit out.

Thanks for posting your solution. I wish more people would do that. 🙂

I’m using Cooper for a project right now and was wondering how to do the same thing.

Yeah, no problem. I do it all the time.

I wish more people would do the same as well…how can you expect to get help when you don’t help anyone else out along the way.

BTW – I had a post about the ‘Print Preview’ color, go figure I can’t seem to figure out how to change it from the stock Green text color?
