module mode news block can be changed ??

using the gk5 news show and set up the module mode News Block and tried to modify that one but without any luck
would like to use the article name instead of More Details which shows up for each one.
any idea ??

Hi

Please edit file /modules/mod_news_pro_gk5/portal_modes/news_blocks/controller.php and in line 60 which should looks like this:

Code: Select all

         echo JText::_('MOD_NEWS_PRO_GK5_PORTAL_MODE_NEWS_BLOCKS_MORE');


and replace it with:

Code: Select all

         echo strip_tags($this->parent->content[$i]['title']);



cool, thanks a lot, works pretty cool

just one more thing, the title which shows up is the unicode title but i want to show the title i gave the articles

the code now is like this and really don t know what to change

echo '<figcaption>';
echo '<h3><strong>'.$title.'</strong>'.$title.'</h3>';
echo '<a href="'.$this->get_link($i).'" title="'.strip_tags($this->parent->content[$i]['title']).'">';
echo strip_tags($this->parent->content[$i]['title']);
echo '</a>';
echo '</figcaption>';
echo '</figure>';

Hi

I'm not sure what You mean by "unicode title", but I think You just should remove strip_tags() function. So replaced line should be like:

Code: Select all

echo $this->parent->content[$i]['title'];


well, still not working properly - unicode i meant the alias-title which shows up but not the normal title
when i changed the script it showed the title_alias and i am using strange names for that and don t want to show those titles
what i did so far is taking off the title parts so it doesn t show any title yet just the more details link
code looks like this now

echo '<figcaption>';
echo '<a href="'.$this->get_link($i).'" title="'.strip_tags($this->parent->content[$i]['title']).'">';
echo JText::_('MOD_NEWS_PRO_GK5_PORTAL_MODE_NEWS_BLOCKS_MORE');
echo '</a>';
echo '</figcaption>';
echo '</figure>';

what i want is that it just shows the normal title as a link next to the image and can t get it done


as well when using the title overlay model it just show 1 link to article and not more - any idea why is that

thanks for help

Hi

It looks like that, becuase it's one of special styles of this module and was designed this way. Please send me an access to ftp so I'll make some dumps and find the value with title.
