Hello

Our J51 News module is based on the Joomla core module, Newsflash. Is the issue also present with this core module?

Ciaran

Yes it is also present on core module Newsflash.

Hello

May I suggest sending temporary administration access to your Joomla installation to info@joomla51.com and we will look into creating an override for your module with the prepare.content set to your news item caption. For our reference please paste a link to this post in your email.

Please provide a URL to an example of the elements not working without prepare content.

Ciaran

We have send you the requested information. Please look into the issue. Thank you!

Thank you

Could I ask you to allow us access to your template editor so we can create the required override for you.

Ciaran

Sorry, did not notice that you do not have that access. It is corrected now. You should be able to access template editor. Thank you!

Thank you

I have updated your News module overrides, adding the content.prepare statement to item descriptions.

Ciaran

Thank you for your help. But the content.prepare statement did not work. After a bit of searching the web I found out there is no other way but to create a SQL statement and filter the values of the right custom field. It is not ideal but here is the code that worked for me:

<?php if ($show_text) : ?>

	<<?php echo $text_tag; ?> class="newstext j51news-caption"><?php

		$introb = strip_tags($item->introtext);

		$intro = JHtml::_('string.truncate', $introb, $length_text);

                          

		$id=$item->id;

		$db = JFactory::getDbo();

		$query = 'select * from #__fields_values where item_id = "'.$id.'"';

		$db->setQuery($query);

		$fields = $db->loadObjectList();



		foreach ($fields as $field) {

			if ($field->field_id == 3) { // 3 - id of our custom field for intotext

				$intro = $field->value;

			}

		}



		echo $intro;

	?></<?php echo $text_tag; ?>>

<?php endif; ?>
