Hmm, okay, then it doesn't really solve my problem. I need it to show the article with all the HTML — images are stripped away, too. Thanks for your help, though.

Code:

$lists[$ord]['featured'][$i]->text 		= flexicontent_html::striptagsandcut($row->introtext, $mod_cut_text);
...
$lists[$ord]['standard'][$i]->text 		= flexicontent_html::striptagsandcut($row->introtext, $mod_cut_text);

These are the lines that strip and cut text
mod_flexicontent/helper.php

i will add an option not to strip html ...
after thought i believe you are right there should be an option not to strip html of the item (article) text, like there is an option where to cut the text.

But note that if we don't strip html tags we can no longer cut at a maximum number of characters, since we now will have opening and closing html tags, so the full text will appear when you set not to strip tags ...

The new option will be on next download of v1.5.6 beta/final

Great, thank you so much!

Not being able to choose number of characters will not be a problem for me, I need it to show the entire article

I have another question — when I use the mod_flexicontent module to display news it links to the news item in a weird way. You mentioned the lines of code that strip the HTML tags, and I've tried changing them. But for some reason, the HTML tags are still stripped from the item that's being linked to.

Have added this option to the FLEXIcontent Universal in revision r949 (the option not strip tags and cut text).

Also i have cleaned up the css FILE for the 'news' template and also improved the styling of it, so that it now more easy and comprehensive to style up the 'news' template and added a new option for standard items to be displayed in 2 columns (for news template)

Get this build here:
code.google.com/p/flexicontent/downloads/list

Be careful not to confuse options of standard and featured items.

If you set module to display 6 items of which 2 are featured, then the first 2 will be featured and the next 4 standard.
