Need some help with News 1.2...

Hi all...
This is my first post here. I've been playing with XOOPS for a week now, and I think it's a great CMS. I'm creating an article site, for people who want to publish their articles regarding literature, movies, music and arts. So far so good.

The only thing I can't get is to make my columns in News1.2 have the same size. You can have a look at: http://www.articulando.com/html/modules/news/. Is there a hack on the news_by_topic.html that make the columns always look the same and have the same size?

That's it for now. Thanks in advance and sorry for my poor English.

Leandro

This is a cheat, but you could have as the first thing on the line, a 1 pixel wide image (basically a white pixel) scaled to the height you want the box to be.

Left align this, and it should fix the height to a constant.

I have tried it out with x2t for size etc, I think it is ok with the default theme? With X2t it is not too good just now, but making sure this code is in your style sheet greatly helps, (this is in the default stylesheet)

TABLE TD {
BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: top; PADDING-TOP: 0px; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px
}

What theme are you using?

Strangely enough I have been just hacking my own template for the standard 2.06 News, I am very pleased with the results, see my site if you wish..

I am sure the column thing will be improved as the module develops, it is still in beta

The RC2 version will be labelled as final version tomorrow.

Development will continue with Herve leading it and myself as a kind of technical consultant; implementing a few things, but mainly focusing on the core development.

Streamlining the column presentation could be one of the tasks involved in the development of next version - v1.4 - which will also feature some more streamlining, a spotlight block (already made) and whatever brilliant ideas, Herve will come up with.

Edit: I just released it: Get it on dev.xoops.org - the groupperm.php goes into the modules/system/admin folder and is the exact same as comes with XOOPS 2.0.7, so it is only for 2.0.6 or lower

Hey Mith, you may want to .zip/.tar.gz the groupperm.php file so people don't get confused trying to download it. It tries to open when people click the link.

Thanks for the tips...

Mith, I didnt' understand what is the function of the "groupperm.php". Can you explain a little bit more about it?

JackJ, your site looks great. That is exactly what I'm trying to do. How did you manage to make the left and the right columns having this balance? I'm using the 7dana-Xred template, with some minor modifications. I'll try to change the code in my CSS and see what look like.

Thanks
Leandro

The groupperm.php file is a fix for a spelling mistake in the code that caused some errors. Just overwrite your existing file on your server.

This fix will be included with the release of 2.0.7 and will not be needed for anything running 2.0.7 or higher from here on. This fix is for XOOPS version 2.0.6 or less.

yes try putting the code above in your style.css

I did the columns through altering the News templates in system admin-> templates, I will have a go with the new News module soon..might not be till next weekend though
