Hi,

Thanks so much for mini frontpage - I love it and have used it before on older Joomla 1.0.x sites but I am now having a problem with the 1.5 version.

I have created a MFP module and published it to a menu item The sections and categories are in and the articles are showing up. My problem is that when I show the thumbnails the intro text disappears. I have researched these forums extensively and see that some other people have had similar issues but I have been unable to find a solution. I will explain my problem as clearly as I can.

When I first set up miniFP the thumbnails and unformatted intro text showed up. THen I began to format my article text to show an image in a left hand div and the text info in a right hand div. When I returned to test miniFP the intro text was not appearing.At first I thought this was to do with the allowed HTML tags so I opened mod_minifrontpage.php and edited the following line (as I have done before):

Code:

$allowed_tags = "<i><b><strong>";

to include more tags....

Code:

$allowed_tags = "<i><b><strong><div><p>";

This did nothing to solve the problem. I then started searching these forums and found a post that said this change should be made in helper.php instead. So I hade the change there and reverted to the original code in mod_minifrontpage.php. I also tried putting the changes in both. This did not help. Then I found a post which talked about the intro text disappearing when thumbnails were turned on. As I test I tried turning OFF my thumbnails and the intro text appeared - with all my formatting visible. I have out up an image to show the difference: So I began to look further into the thumbnail processing in helper.php. I found some other posts referring to the regex and so I found this line and commented it out:

Code:

preg_match_all("#<img(.*)>#", $rows[$r]->introtext . $rows[$r]->fulltext, $txtimg);

The result of this was that the default thumbnail showed up... but the intro text was displaying correctly. I am now quite sure that there is a bug with this in 1.5... and I see other people have experienced the same thing but their posts have had no reply (http://www.templateplazza.com/component/option,com_fireboard/Itemid,6/func,view/id,25071/catid,20/) Please help - I would really like to use this module but unless I can find a solution then I will have to look for something else. Thanks

Something is wrong with the regex. Try this instead.. seems to work for me:

Code:

preg_match_all("/<img[^>]*>/Ui", $rows[$r]->introtext . $rows[$r]->fulltext, $txtimg);

Hey thanks a million - that worked a treat!
