I delayed my site publication and have been waiting until News Portal for Joomla 1.5 comes out. I thought iJoomla has well prepared for Joomla 1.5 and it doesn't take long to get 1.5 compatible version. It's now disappointing me gradually 

Thanks for the instruction. I submitted a ticket.

In the mean time, disabling the calling of HTML_ijoomla_news::unhtmlentities($str)function can solve my problem temporarily. I don't know if it may cause any other side effects yet.

Hello again,
I did some research on news portal source code. I think the function:
HTML_ijoomla_news::unhtmlentities($str)and HTML_ijoomla_news::cutstring_html ($str) are not working correctly for my case.

I want to make sure all following characters, if exist, will be shown correctly:
-----------------------------
á,à,ả,ã,ạ,a,Á,À,Ả,Ã,Ạ,A

ó,ò,ỏ,õ,ọ,o,ú,ù,ủ,ũ,ụ,u,Ó,Ò,Ỏ,Õ,Ọ,O,Ú,Ù,Ủ,Ũ,Ụ,U

é,è,ẻ,ẽ,ẹ,e,É,È,Ẻ,Ẽ,Ẹ,E

ó,ò,ỏ,õ,ọ,o,Ó,Ò,Ỏ,Õ,Ọ,O

ấ,ầ,ẩ,ẫ,ậ,â,Ấ,Ầ,Ẩ,Ẫ,Ậ,Â

ớ,ờ,ở,ỡ,ợ,ơ,ứ,ừ,ử,ữ,ự,ư,Ớ,Ờ,Ở,Ỡ,Ợ,Ơ,Ứ,Ừ,Ử,Ữ,Ự,Ư

ắ,ằ,ẳ,ẵ,ặ,ă,Ắ,Ằ,Ẳ,Ẵ,Ặ,Ă

ế,ề,ể,ễ,ệ,ê,Ế,Ề,Ể,Ễ,Ệ,Ê

ố,ồ,ổ,ỗ,ộ,ô,Ố,Ồ,Ổ,Ỗ,Ộ,Ô
--------------------------
Could news portal's developers help me on this?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello,
Default language for my site is not english (encoding="iso-8859-1"), it is utf-8 encoding instead. Other portions in the "home page", "section" and "category" layouts show font correctly. Only "Intro" portions in those layouts don't display font correctly. I tried changing font face but it didn't work.
How do I fix it?

PS:
Is there a very strict spam control mechanism in this site? It prevented my to post more than two posts in "support questions" sub-forum so I had to post it here. That's too strict. It bothers me a little bit.

Hi RicardoCorai,

Thanks for your reply. The way you mentioned work. I also managed to find out a way to modify joomla code in administrator/components/com_menus a little bit to get it done by mouse clicks.

If you use rocketthemes (rt_sporticus_news in my case) you can go to theme's index.php and there are two lines to config your menu:


You can replace "mainmenu" with "sections". It will work fine!

However, If you want to show categories as sub-menus under sections. The above way doesn't help. I suppose this is a point news portal needs to improve.

I am using news portal latest version with Joomla 1.0.13. When I create a new menu item, i.e. for linking to a section. By default an URL like following is set to that menu and I can not edit that URL:  index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=81

However I want it to come out like following by default:
index.php?option=com_news_portal&task=category&sectionid=1&id=1&Itemid=81

How do I make it?

That's great  Thanks guys for provide confirmation. Why didn't I notice that then  .

Hello there. We are considering using News portal component for our site. The site will be multilingual. I are not sure news portal can work with multilingual content manager like Joom!Fish. Could you provide some information on this?

Thanks in advance.
