I like this module a lot and I am new to making websites but I am not able to get the module to center my text and have tried all hte regular things in the HTML part but I have not had any success. Please advise me on this issue.
Thanks

You said:
“A dash appears below every placehere module I’m publishing and for the life of me I just can’t understand why, any help appreciated.”
Same here. Not 100% sure WHY this is happening, but figured out WHAT was causing it for me and simple bandaid fix. Use at your own risk.
Cause: In my module parameters, “Template:” I chose “Beez”. The cause of dash in the bottom left hand corner is caused by an empty anchor tag. Specifically this:

So I know I’m not using this and need to remove this from being outputted to get rid of the dash. And to do that I modified “Place Here” module tmpl beez.php code.
In the backend goto and edit:
root/modules/mod_placehere/tmpl/beez.php
Around line 133, just comment out the empty anchor tag like:
–>
Save, and refresh.. Dash is gone. Why this empty anchor tag is being outputted is beyond me. Hope that helps.

Hello all,
I’ve got a little problem… Please see my page : http://vote-election.kinssha.org. I can’t make that article doesn’t go over my div… I’ve tried to make some padding everywhere but it doesn’t work… Do you have an idea of the problem ? Thank you in advance !

Great module. I tweak the table template but it would be a great feature if you can add paginations and number of articles displayed per page.

Keep up the good work.

There’s a bug in Joomla itself that can make mod_placehere output the following:

“Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /xxxxx/components/com_content/helpers/route.php on line 106″

This appears three times before the article text. To make this go away you must make one of your menu items link to an article — any article!

This bug has affected other extensions similarly; see:

@ Morten Fjord
This one stumped me for awhile too. You have to set it to Run Plugins in the modules parameters.

Hi Eike,
thanks for the great component.

But I have some issues on a new Website.

Trim Text doesnt work porperly on my Frontpage. There would some more words trimmed than chars entered to trim. E.g. the change of 173 to 172 chars trimms three full words.

Sometimes it seems that formatted text is trimmed in a bad way e.g. italic text is trimmed and the rest of the template font is set to italic. This is caused by an unclosed tag.
May this a template problem or PHP Version problem?

PHP Version is 5.2.13, Joomla 1.5.19, MySQL 5.0.51a.

Any suggestions would be very welcom. If you need further information – please let me know.

Thanks again for the module and I would appreciate any help to solve this issue.

Hey Eike

Great mod, thanks alot for your work!!!
I have en issue with the mod. If I show an article that includes a link to a plugin, the “result” will not show, only the link.
i.e:
{chronocontact}Newsletter{/chronocontact}

Do you know what is wrong?

Hi Alistair, look at this comment to find a solution (it's not you it's the module).

A dash appears below every placehere module I’m publishing and for the life of me I just can’t understand why, any help appreciated. Cheers
