3 dots (...) on testimonial slider - how to remove them?

Asked by Alex Block 5 years ago Last activity 5 years ago

On this page:
https://risingoaks.marketaccess.ca/index.php?option=com_sppagebuilder&view=page&id=365&Itemid=1008

I use the Articles Scroller for the section towards the bottom of the page, in the orange block entitled : Play Champions

There are three dots (...) added to the end of the text. No matter what I try, I cannot get these to not be displayed.

Surely there must be a way to not include them, as they aren't in my content, so it seems that SPPB is adding them.

Hi,
Use this custom css

.sppb-addon-articles-carousel.testimonial .bx-pager.bx-default-pager {
    display: none !important;
    }

Add this css code inside the custom.css file.
Note: Path towards custom CSS:
Extensions>Templates>Styles>
Click on your current default template name then choose Template Options.
Then find custom CSS within the custom code.

In Extensions>Template> Template Options > Custom Code > Custom CSS please add this
Thanks

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:

  1. be a feature I can toggle on or off within the page builder interface
    or
  2. 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"
