How to force an hspace and vspace of lets say 5px around every image, displayed in the articles of the news section?

Thanks.

Does someone know where XOOPS generates the image tag of an article (story)?

I want to force a 5px space around any image displayed in the News section. I do not want to alter the images of the other sections of the site.

Thank you.

This depends on what you call "the image tag of an article". If you mean the topic icon, the one that has a link to the topic index, it's defined within the class newsstory. Look for the file modules/news/class/class.newsstory.php and there look for the function imglink(). I can't give you the lines because I use News 1.2 and you might have News 1.1, but it's around lines 237-244. By default, this function has a 10px space both in the horizontal and the vertical sides.

If you mean the images placed within an article/story, then we're talking of a different subject. For that you'd have to trace the workings of the image manager, assuming you use the image manager to place your images. Personally, I put the code by hand, using floated layers to place images wherever I want. If I want an image in the right side, for instance, I use something like:

<div style="float: right; width: 120px; margin: 6px 0 8px 6px;"><img src="here-the-path-to-the-image" /></div>

This gives me more control about where I place things.

hsalazar, your second solution - using the div tag with the style attribute - is perfect! Thank you.
