Hi Ivo
I want to use the media box particle. My question:
In the "Description" box of the individual items, I need to add a "read more" or a slider or something so that I can only show the first paragraph of the Description. Is there a way to do that? I tried using html and the slider syntax from regular labs slider plugin, but that doesn't work.
Appreciate your help, as always.
Regards
David

Hi David,
By default, the "Description" field in the "Media Box" particle does not render shortcodes (for example the Regular Labs Slider).
Anyway, I modified the particle so it now renders shortcodes.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Download the attached media-box-custom.zip file.
2. UNZIP it on your computer. You will find one file - media-box.html.twig.
3. Copy the media-box.html.twig file to root/templates/TEMPLATE_DIR/custom/particles (if the particles folder does not exist, you will need to create it manually). Basically, this step is the same as the one described in the Overriding Particle Source Files section in the Gantry 5 Documentation.
4. Clear Joomla cache.
