How to replace "xx bytes more" with "xx more words"
Be careful, you must have a Php version greater than Php 4.3
First edit this file /xoops/modules/news/language/english/main.php
search this line :

define("_NW_BYTESMORE","%s bytes more");


and replace it with :

define("_NW_BYTESMORE","%s more words");


Then edit the file /xoops/module/news/class/class.newsstory.php
Search for :

$morelink .= ' | '.sprintf(_NW_BYTESMORE,$totalcount);


and replace it with :

$morelink .= ' | '.sprintf(_NW_BYTESMORE,str_word_count($this->bodytext()));



If you want to remove this information from display, remove the following line (in the same file) :


$morelink .= ' | '.sprintf(_NW_BYTESMORE,$totalcount);
