small MyPHPNuke hack needed

calitradclimber

Hello all and thank you in advance for even considering helping with this small hack project.

The script is MyPHPNuke > http://www.myphpnuke.com and the problem is that the moduel which comes preinstalled called eGallery will not let me place very much text in the descriptions under each photo. It truncates the text after about 4 lines, we need much more than that. I asked the guys on the forum who wrote the thing and they told me where to look. I fooled with it a little but could not get it to work.

I uploaded a copy of the code (minus the start and end tags) on a static page here:
http://www.ndse.com/phphack.html

An example of the eGallery is here:
http://web-dj.net/mpn/myegallery.php?&do=showgall&gid=1

He says it is in here and I should edit this section of code:

function displayDescriptionGall($row, $crow) { global $textcolor1, $textcolor2; $m = 90 / $crow[numcol]; if (strlen($row[description]) > $m) { $row[description] = trim(substr($row[description],0,$m)); $p = strrpos($row[description], ' '); $row[description] = trim(substr($row[description],0,$p)).'...'; } return "$row[description]\n"; }

But of course me not being a PHP programmer it all looks like greek to me...

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated..

thanks

most all of that code you posted is made to chop up your description, so most of the code can be removed, and whats left is this:

function displayDescriptionGall($row, $crow) { return "$row[description]\n"; }

so if you replace the old function with this new one everything should work.

Thanks for the reply examancer but no luck, I tried what you said and it still truncates it....

Any more suggestions?

thanks much,

if that change doesn't work, then that means the description is being truncated before it makes it there, so I don't know what the problem is.

How long are your descriptions? 'cause maybe the database fields are not large enough so the database truncates it when it stores it...

thanks for the help, that change did fix the issue on the page where the thumbnails are, it allows longer descriptions now. The problem is on the other page when you click on the thumbnail and it brings up the full image. That is where the text is trunicated and will not allow me to add lengty text. My entries are about 10 to 15 lines of text. You can see the examples of the second page with full images in the link I provided in the first post. Again thank you very much, any assistance is greatly appreciated. If I don't get this corrected I am in real trouble here...
