news GK5: header text leght limits + no pagination

Hello ,

I installed NewsGK5 (1.1.3) hoping to get a responsive newsshow; I almost got it: there are a few things not working.

I set the standard mode with K2 articles as data source, and that's what is not working:

1) I would like to limit the header text lenght, but regardless the words or chars number setting, the header does not shorten (but I got text shortening by setting it in text-layout)

2) there are not visible pagination nor arrows, regardless I set to show both of them (I don't get any of them even selecting one or another)

3) even if I set the autoanimation the articles don't slide; you can only see a kind of a slight flash as the articles had slided, but they didn't.

These problems are both in Forefox and Chrome

Please see the attached screenshots of the settings and of the result in frontpage showing no text shortening, nor arrows/pagination

Thanks for your help

Hi,
you won't have pagination until you increase 'Amount of pages with arts' becasue now you have set it to 1. So it means that you have only one page (one slide). Try increase it.

Thank you very much; now it works. I did not understand the pagination function...

What about the header title shortening? Why cant'I get a 15 chars title even if I set it to be that way? I would like to avoid two-rows titles.

Thank for your help

Do you have latest version of our module ?

Yes I think I have the latest version... I just installed yesterday from the scratch; it's 1.1.3 version on Joomla 2.5.11.

It's rather annoying not having the header shorter... titles on two rows make a ughly-looking formatting.

I tried every possibile changes: from the source data (K2/joomla articles) to the external files CSS/Motools etc. the result is the same... Am I the only one having this trouble?

Please try add suffix to this module, for example ' mysuffix' and then add to override.css

Code: Select all

.my suffix.nspArt h4.nspHeader a {
width: 100%;
height: 29px;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
}


and remember to enable override.css option in template settings.

Hello,

thanks for you answer, but it seems not working, or more likely I did not use it in the correct way.

I use gantry template and it already has a gantry-custom.css override (I use it for a little change in the template).

I put your code in the gantry-custom.css override and then in the module suffix I put " mysuffix" (with a blank space before) but there are no changes.

I also tried to change the name in the code to "mysuffix" (without space), and tried several variation witout luck

PS Did I understood correctly that in the code there is space in the name "my suffix" and in the module there is not?

What am I missing?

Thanks

Sorry my mistake code in css should be:

Code: Select all

.mysuffix .nspArt h4.nspHeader a {
width: 100%;
height: 29px;
overflow: hidden;
float: left;
}


i added space in wrong place.

Hello,

it seems to work even if in an unexpected way: the title is shortened not to the chars numbers I set up, but it's shortened in a way that it fits in the available space.

Of course this is a better way to shorten the title!

PS How can I change the word "Read more?"

Thanks
