Hello,

I’ve notice the limit for the mod_janews_fp (the article rotator for Teline IV) article content but nothing for the article title. My article title are rather long and its taking a considerable amount of space + the long title makes it obnoxious/not look good.

Any way to limit the number of char for the article title in the mod_janews_fp module?

Dear ar2solutions,

You can try as following to get the title shorter
Go to the file of modulesmod_janews_fptmpldefaultblog.php, Look for these codes
[PHP] <?php foreach ($rows as $news) {[/PHP] And add the following code below it :
[PHP]
$doc = JDocument::getInstance ();
if (function_exists ( ‘mb_substr’ )) {
$news->title = SmartTrim::mb_trim ( $news->title , 0, 20, $doc->_charset );
} else {
$news->title = SmartTrim::trim ( $news->title , 0, 20 );
}
[/PHP] Note that you should replace the 20 with the maxchar value you wanted

I hope this make sense !
