The post on the forum includes: $3.00

When it is displayed in the Latest Mod, it looks like this: .00


Any help in fixing this is appreciated!

Thanks.

G'day, egrutz, and welcome to Kunena.

I tested this on two sites, created a topic with $3.00 as the only text, one running J! 1.5.25 and the other running J! 1.7.3. In neither case was I able to reproduce this problem. Perhaps this was a issue in J! 1.7.0?

Good enough, I'll get Joomla updated, see if that changes anything, and get back to you either way.

Thanks for testing that!

Just updated to J! 1.7.3 and it is still stripping the $3 out in the Latest Post module.

Here is a link to the site: www.3rrec.com/
"Latest Posts" on the right, the post title is "Fresh Brown Eggs". :)

There is a lot of stuff on there, so I went through one by one removing the Phoca slideshow plugin, jEvents module, weather widget and facebook widgets and got the same results on the Kunena module each time. I also have DirectPHP plugin and toggled that on and off with the same results.

I have two instances of the Latest Post module on that page.

I only have the component, latest module, search plugin and discuss plugin installed.

The modules are placed in an article via
Code:
{loadposition userx}
rather than a true module position. I turned off text filtering in the article manager and still had the characters stripped, so turned it back on.

It's hosted on GoDaddy. :whistle:


Any other thoughts?

My only "other thoughts" are that you have another Joomla extension (a plugin, perhaps) that's doing this. There's a good chance that the plugin is loaded because of your template. If you post your configuration report, we may get a better picture as to what is going on.

When I tested this on my J! 1.7.3 test site, it was a "vanilla" site with no other extensions loaded apart from what comes as standard with Joomla.

Try looking at content plugins -- or better, you can test if it's one of your content plugins by disabling joomla plugin support from Kunena configuration.

I'm back from Thanksgiving, thanks for the suggestions. I gave them a try with no change.

In my case, it seems to be caused by loading the module in an article via
Code:
{loadposition}
rather than putting it in a normal module position. When I moved the module to the "left" position to test, the "$3.00" appeared as it should.

I can't guess why this is so, and don't really care, I'll just change the way I am doing things.

Thank you for your help. Great component, I really like it!
