I am needing some input on how to perform a horizontal array of my news items within the smarty code. Any easy way to do this?
Basically, I want to array the last 3 news items horizontally instead of vertically. I want to trim the text down to where it only displays like the first 30 characters of the news post and allows you to click on a view more link. Ive got an idea on how to do it, but I wanted to see if anyone has a suggestion first.
Thanks for the help...
The trimmed text could be implemented in the manner of Soapbox or WFSections with the article teaser.
If you were to use WFSections instead of news most of the functionality is already built in.
The horizontal part should be easy - think horizontal instead of vertical. Divs instead of tables.
Now if you could just get that with a small flash image and a link you would have a yahoo like news teaser at the top of you page. That would put you one up one the site you cited as an example. One draw back - slow load times even with DSL your flash page takes a while to load. But with small low resolution pictures you would have a winner. The rest of you theme puts you one up on the example anyway.
I believe that Mithrandir is about to release a news update, it may have the article teasers built in.
You've got a winner. Awesome work!
