When I add a post I get ::cck::id/cck:::::title before and after each entry in the frontend article display. I am using Latest News Enhanced as suggested by another user to display the content. I read that you have to change the order of the plugins I did that but not luck.
I read through the link below and could not figure out what exactly they where referring to do besides the plugin. One person mentioned ::: "(if you intend to use introtext/description/fulltext) from STANDARD to CUSTOM." I just can't figure out what that is supposed to means.

I've noticed if open the document it removes the cck from the module but I can't figure out where the ::cck is coming from.
I found this as well:
To reduce the change of having an issue with your introtext string being cut short, it is advised to use "standard" storage instead of "custom" storage. Custom SEBLOD storage involves using a lot more tags around content, which can easily be cut short and ruin the rendering of your content.
But it doesn't really explain how to do it or what it will do if I change it.

Hi rmacias
Note: As always, my disclaimer is that I am learning myself :)
Just to be clear, you are referring to latest-news-enhanced-extended?

Seblod Storage comes in three formats
Storage is set in the fields config modal box, at the bottom (see image: field-storage-01)
Standard, which would store id as: '4' (Use this 99% of the time)
Custom, which would store id as: '::id::0::/id::' (Seblod syntax, mostly used for FieldX and GroupX)
JSON, which would store id as: '{"id":"4"}' (Javascript Syntax, mostly used by dudes that know what they are doing! So that means not me!!)
Custom is how Seblod connects to Joomla, and in the #__content table you mainly see it used in the introtext column.
For the introtext column in the DB, Seblod stores introtext content AND fulltext content together.
The introtext field has config: Format / Object - Custom - Article - introtext[introtext]
The fulltext field has config: Format / Object - Custom - Article - introtext[fulltext]
Data in the introtext column of the #__content DB table looks like this:
::cck::6::/cck::<br />::introtext::<p>This is some funky intro text, oh yeah!</p>::/introtext::<br />::fulltext::<p>This is some damn good full text, mmm mmm!</p>::/fulltext::

3rd Party Extensions
If a you use a 3rd party extension and they pull data from the introtext column, then they HAVE to be able to pull enough characters to complete the Seblod syntax ie if you have it set to pull 50 characters then those 50 characters must be longer than the seblod syntax.
If you are pulling from a column that does not have that syntax then it is not a concern.

Module Options and Content Type Settings
Can you upload screenshots for:
Latest News Module settings
Your Content Types and in particular, screenshots for the config of the fields you want to display in ModuleRegards
Might be able to help if you do

Thanks Bucklash for the info. I've decided to give up on the latest-news-enhanced-extended. It was just much to difficult I had even tried setting the character limit to infinite but that wouldn't work. Now I'm just using the list view.
Hi rmacias
I think using Seblod to create your latest article modules is the way to go, and really, the whole point of using Seblod, do it all (or a large percentage of it) with Seblod.
Have you got the list view 'behaving' as you wish?

Kind of haven't been able to get the fields to show in-line in lists and search types. I choose seb_css3 in variations and select orientation horizontal but it doesn't do anything. That and the time for every post shows up as UTC time and not eastern time which is set in global configuration.
