2 issues with News module.

1.  Snippets will not display more than 51 characters.  It will only dispaly characters to fill the first line below the news heading.  It will modify snipet length between 0-51 characters, but will not dispaly more than 51 characters to have a seond line.

2.  There is no news module to put on profile pages.  Only the boonex news module is avaiable to put on the profile pages and I highly doubt we want to put boonex news on member profile pages.

Also just posted on #1 http://www.boonex.com/unity/forums/#topic/Can-t-change-the-length-of-news-item.htm

If we jump up and down, and wave our arms, we might even be able to get in into trac.

Dang missed your post or I would have added to it, but as to jumping up and down:

Here's how to display the news until boonex puts a bug ticket on.  You won't get the '...' at the end of the line but you will display all your code snippet.

In the modules/boonex/news/templates/base/css/view.css you need to change line 60 as follows (under the div.news-text-snippet):

white-space: none;

change to

white-space: normal;

Edit: actually it makes sense there will be no ellipsis as there should be no overflow.  The text inserted into the space is determined by the snipet size, if you have 100 characters only 100 characters will be displayed and no need for ellipsis in the css.

To get the ellipsis the news snippet display code needs to be modified to add the "..." at the end of the news snippet so readers know there is more (if there is indeed more news).

I take it this never got fixed in the RC.  I know we bumped it several times, but I guess we weren't lucky enough to get it into Trac.   I just tried it, and still have the same issue.

Rob

so you both seem as if you might be someone here with a little info on things so try to answer this if you can why is it that there is 10,000 questions about how to set up fix and errors and all kinds of problems with this scripting and the install format and ray and orca and dolphin but you all who are in powered to possibly fix some of them or answer them or just at least tell us all to go to hell you dont care dont do a thing i am seeing post after post go  left alone like mine but you all want our money to buy the add removal tool so i will tell you what get someone on my post and give me a solution to getting the classifieds to word so i can give you my money becuse if not im going to joomla thanks you

Do they have punctuation marks where you come from?

Rippie, if you posted your other post about ads in the Dolphin forum where it belongs, instead of the Ray General forum, you might have better luck getting a response.

There is ellipsis text style is used here for overflowed text. It will display '...' automatically if text is not fit into the div. Unfortunately some browsers do not support this feature yet. You can try safari, it works fine there.
