#201071

Hi. In this page of my website http://www.famigliealcentro.it/index.php/about/about-2 I would like to insert a Read More in the preview description of the 4 contacts at the bottom of the page. In fact, if I put a readmore in the form that describes the contact, in the preview the template shows an horizontal line with the rest of the description below, without cutting it.
I would like to have a readmore button after about 4 or 5 rows of the description, as it does in the preview of the articles.
Another solution may be to move the View Profile link after 4 or 5 rows, but I don’t know how to do it.
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot

It does not support to cut text like as article page. But you can apply my customization below.

+ Open templates/ja_decor/html/com_contact/category/default_items.php file

Change
defined(‘_JEXEC’) or die;

To

defined('_JEXEC') or die;
if(!function_exists(cut_string)) {
function cut_string($title, $max)
{
if($title!=''){
if(is_array($title)) list($string, $match_to) = $title;
else { $string = $title; $match_to = $title{0}; }

$match_start = stristr($string, $match_to);
$match_compute = strlen($string) - strlen($match_start);

if (strlen($string) > $max)
{
if ($match_compute < ($max - strlen($match_to)))
{
$pre_string = substr($string, 0, $max);
$pos_end = strrpos($pre_string, " ");
if($pos_end === false) $string = $pre_string."...";
else $string = substr($pre_string, 0, $pos_end)."...";
}
else if ($match_compute > (strlen($string) - ($max - strlen($match_to))))
{
$pre_string = substr($string, (strlen($string) - ($max - strlen($match_to))));
$pos_start = strpos($pre_string, " ");
$string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start);
if($pos_start === false) $string = "...".$pre_string;
else $string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start);
}
else
{
$pre_string = substr($string, ($match_compute - round(($max / 3))), $max);
$pos_start = strpos($pre_string, " "); $pos_end = strrpos($pre_string, " ");
$string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start, $pos_end)."...";
if($pos_start === false && $pos_end === false) $string = "...".$pre_string."...";
else $string = "...".substr($pre_string, $pos_start, $pos_end)."...";
}

$match_start = stristr($string, $match_to);
$match_compute = strlen($string) - strlen($match_start);
}

return $string;
}else{
return $string ='';
}
}
}


+ Call it to trim text

Find

<p>
<?php echo $item->misc; ?>
</p>

Change to

<p>
<?php echo cut_string($item->misc, 50); ?>
</p>

Let me know if it helps
