Hello,

The HTML has to be stripped. If it isn't then you truncate before a html tag closes your whole page is messed up.

What are you trying to do exactly?

Many thanks

Hi Tony,

It's just about allowing some tags like <br> <b> <h1> <a>

Hello,

But if you do that and it is truncated before </b> then your whole site is in bold. It's just not possible with a truncation by number.

You could instead add a Custom Field HTML which you could duplicate text which isn't truncated and users set the output they want for list views in here.

Many thanks
Tony

Hi,

Yes I know that, but in my case I would have to add an additional Field for the introtext which would only be visible in the category list views. So the main Editorfield must be disactivated for this view.
For all new events this would be ok but for all old events it's a bit difficult.

This MAY be possible using a word count and this function https://github.com/judev/php-htmltruncator but I can't guarantee that it would work.

Would counting on words be ok?

Hi Geraint

Counting on words would be fine for me.

Please unzip and upload this file to components/com_jevents/views/default/helpers/defaultloadedfromtemplate.php and then use

{{Truncated Desc:TRUNCATED_DESC:20 words}}

in the layout

Hi Geraint,

This is great! Generally this works but it has some problems with special characters.

Also I had to set images to display:none;

Try this version - it should deal with the UTF-8 character issue.

Hi Geraint,

This is strange. It seems that the first 2 letters are stripped and special characters are not displayed correctly.

Hi Geraint,

Sorry I just managed now to install your new file. Thanks a lot, this seems to work correct.

Good to hear - I'll include these changes in the next release of JEvents.

Perfect!
Did you keep in mind that I disabled images via CSS? Otherwise the image tag would be visible as text when cutted in parts.

The code is simply designed to ensure that the truncated HTML is valid HTML - it will probably leave images intact so you will need to keep your CSS changes.
