I need to have a spotlight feature in News 1.3 that produces an effect like the one built-in to AMS 2.4. I want to choose a main spotlight surrounded by mini-spotlights based on topic or specific articles, with headers for each one.

Is there anything out there that I could use that could do this for News 1.3. Or is there anything in the pipeline that could do this?

Thanks.

News 1.3 Recent News Block Tabs and 800X600 Resolution

Just a note, if you use the recent news spotlight tabs block on your front page (center, center) and your users have their monitor resolution set to 800x600 then your front page will look all screwed up for them.

To be honest I didn't even know that people still had their monitors set at this resolution but lo and behold one of mine did. lol!

Thanks so much! That was it. It appears that the files/folders automatically go back to their 644 and 755 settings, eh? I didn't know that -- interesting.

I'm getting this error too when I try to upgrade the News 1.3 module. I've tried all of these solutions but I still get the error.

Um, yes, I know this. I'm just wondering which exact template do I alter to change the color of the sub tab text? There are a bunch of block templates in there but I'm not sure which one addresses this issue. Someone mentioned the "news_block_new.html" template, but there was no template with that name.

So once again, which template should I edit?

The XOOPS FAQ has a section on themes and templates. The FAQ is always a good place to search for answers. Near the bottom of the FAQ on themes and templates is the following bit of info that might be useful:

Quote:
Templates can be edited through the template manager in your system admin menu. Clone the default template set, and edit the cloned set to fit the look and feel of your site's taste. The tempates can be edited per module.


Based on Hervet's response, I'd say you need to clone your templates, make your changes, then point your website at the new templates using the Admin menu under preferences.

Once you have cloned them, if you add/update any module that uses templates you will have to ensure that you have a correct template in your cloned templates. This is the only real gotcha to this. I'm warning you now so you remember later.

One more question though -- I see how to change the color of the subtabs, but how can I change the text color of those tabs?

I figured it out. I was only putting in the numeric value. When I added # sign before it everything was fine.
