I have searched the SPPageBuilder source, and I have confirmed that the extension is adding these 3 dots to my content. I strongly recommend this be a feature I can turn or or off in the interface, intsead of hard coded into the page renderer.
The file is com_sppagebuilder/addons/articles_scroller/site.php
And the lines are:
Line 117
$output .= '<div class="sppb-articles-scroller-introtext">'. $intro_text .'...</div>';
Line 161
$output .= '<div class="sppb-articles-carousel-introtext">'. $intro_text .'...</div>';
Note the 3 dots being injected into the text, just before the div tag.
I deleted the 3 dots from the lines above, and now my content renders without the 3 dots.
Of course, that only lasts until the next time the extension is updated, so my solution is only a temproary one.
Could you please let your dev team know that this should either:
- be a feature I can toggle on or off within the page builder interface
or
- change the code base to only include the 3 dots if the length of $output is greater than the value specified in the article scroller field Introtext characters limit"
