My theme is basically a modified version of PHPKaox.

It is supposedly using tables which is why the annoying thing with the formatting. Tables shouldn't cause this display problem.

However, I will try looking through the file you mentioned.

Thanks.

My resolution is the same as yours.

I did use hard returns to fix the problem but this is besides the point.

I don't think it is an issue with XOOPS as such but an issue maybe with the implementation of the DIV tags in the browsers.

Now that I think of it, I have many issues trying to use the DIV tags in normal HTML.

I guess the problem is the way W3C has set the guidelines for using them.

I get the same problems with IE and Mozilla.

Haven't been home yet to try out Safari.

Yes I had the same problem with XOOPS default, the x2t theme does not have this you can put any size of topic image in without having to do hard returns to fill the overlap.

What is your default template for the theme? it is your default template which is controlling the look of the news module

In XOOPS default template the code for "news_item.html" --which is the news items of front page looks like this:


<{$story.title}>


<{$lang_postedby}> <{$story.poster}> <{$lang_on}> <{$story.posttime}> (<{$story.hits}> <{$lang_reads}>)


<{$story.imglink}>

<{$story.text}>




<{$story.adminlink}> <{$story.morelink}>



END

In x2t the "news_item.html" looks like this:









<{if $story.align == "left" }>


<{else}>


<{/if}>




<{$story.title}>
<{$lang_postedby}> <{$story.poster}> <{$lang_on}> <{$story.posttime}> (<{$story.hits}> <{$lang_reads}>)






<{$story.imglink}>

<{$lang_printerpage}>
<{$lang_sendstory}>


<{$story.text}>

<{$story.text}>







<{$story.imglink}>

<{$lang_printerpage}>
<{$lang_sendstory}>


<{$story.adminlink}> <{$story.morelink}>





End

The point is, you will find that whatever your default template is--will probably work with larger images with "tables" rather than "divs" (i am no expert perhaps a coder has a simpler way)

you also will need to change news_article.html which is the full article view file

there is a tutorial on the wiki about templates

rider,

Checked out your site and didnt see a problem. My res though is at 1024etc.

HOWEVER, I am familiar with a similar problem. I was able to solve it by adding some hard returns after the "lead in text"...

If that doesnt do it then the image is just to big perhaps?

I'm not sure if this is caused by XOOPS' CSS or if it is to do with the News module (or both) but the thumbnails beside the News articles are not displaying correctly.

The images themselves are fine but the box for the article doesn't seem to resize to the image and thus the images appear on the next few lines.

Checkout my site to see what I mean.

This seems to be happening in ALL browsers.

450 pixels wide by 70 pixels high


Yeah I get you drift. IMO: that is simply an annoying banner size. I use 125 x 60 and it works fine. You just have to put it in as html.

But that mod does sound useful, Im not trying to sound like Im against it at all. Just with all the mods available it hard to simplif sometimes

Calling the XOOPS banner code elsewhere isn't the problem, being able to call a banner with the correct formating is. For example, a banner which is 450 pixels wide by 70 pixels high will be well suited to being displayed in a horizontal banner section as per the standard XOOPS banners. However, that same banner in the left or right columns in a vetical banner section won't be well suited as it'll be too wide. This is one of the advantages of phpadsnew as you can control what banner is shown where.
