Hi Eike,

I’m experiencing a very strange behavior: the URLs rendered by the “$readmorelink” are dropping the hashes ( – ). So URLs are getting broken because they look “likethis” instead of “like-this”. Has anyone experienced this before? Cheers, Wallace.

Hi Eike,

We are using this great module on many sites.
Are you going to port placehere module to Joomla!1.6?

Hi Eike,
Thanks for a great module! I was wondering if you had any advice for linking the mod_placehere to the actual category blog layout. I have two mod_placehere modules on my front page, and have created a hidden menu linking to the category blog layout and I have also selected the “Link to category” option in the module manager. However, I keep getting a bad link when I select the title or “read more” of the module. Any suggestions?
Thank you again!!

Hi Gastão,

the function to calculate links in Joomla only work properly when the linked item/category/whatever is linked in a menu. So you would need to create a menu with a link to your category and leave it unpublished (this feels a bit hack-ish, but if I want to use as much original Joomla code as possible – and I do – then this is outside my control).

Hello Eike, great module.
I am having trouble with link to category when I insert type = contentitem and a comma delimited list of articles. It inserts a bad link.
When I use type = category it works fine.

No, not at all – I don’t always have time to follow through with everything, but suggestions are always welcome.

Will do (next weekend, probably).

This is a bit more complicated than in the mod_contentitem (where it more or less was enough not to parse mosimage-tags), I need some clever regexp to filter out the images tags, plus this will come with a slight performance hit. I see what I can do, but the lazy solution would be to add something like

.mod_placehere img {
display:none;
}

to your style sheet.

Hi, nice module! I hope you don’t mind me making a suggestion. It would be nice if you could specify that the leading article is not to be trimmed. Also, It might be useful to incorporate a feature to exclude images (like in the mod_contentitem). Thanks for writing and sharing your mods!
