Several changes with custom.css was created by JaBo
Hi Olliver,

I installed the LNE extension and after a few hick ups I got it working great. However I would like to make some changes to the lay out:

a) Reduce top and bottom margin of news item
b) Remove border and padding from thumbnail and make top thumbnail in line with top header text
c) Make the text wrap around the image.

For a) and b) I added the following to my custom.css file:

.news .picture {
border: none !important;
padding: 0 !important;
margin-top: 2 !important;
}

.news .newsitem{
margin: 0 !important;
}

But it does not have any influence. FYI: I am using Joomla 3.0 with Artisteer generated templates

As for c) I don't know if this is possible at all without a major change to the structure.

I would appreciate your help in this or may you could point in the right direction.

Best!

Jan

Hello Jan,
all you are trying to do is possible just with CSS.
As you noticed you seem to have CSS conflicts with the template. It would be easier for me to help you if I could look at a live URL and test my changes to your site directly. It will be more efficient this way, as the CSS changes have to take your other CSS in the page into account. Thank you!

Olivier.

Hi Olliver,

Thanks for your quick reply.

Indeed I have a CSS conflict. Artisteer allows for additional CSS code and it writes this to custom.css. However, Joomla does not call for this custom.css. Artisteer also writes the extra code to template.css and its this file that is used.

Having that figured out I now can change ref. b) of my list. a), the top margin does not change. It remains 5 px. The code I'm using now is:

.news .picture {
border: none !important;
padding: 0 !important;
margin-top: 6px !important;
}
.news .newsitem{
margin: 0px !important;
}


Also the actual margin seems to be larger than 5 px. See attached screen print.



So I solved b) but I still can use some help with a) and c)

Regarding live URL. The site is still under construction and I'm a bit reluctant putting the URL here b/c I don't want it to be crawled yet. Can I forward it to you by Email?

Thanks!!

yes, send the URL to [email protected] or you can leave it in the forum, I check the posts before making them public so there is no risk anybody else can see it.

I have not heard from you but wanted to let you know that version 1.2.4 which I have released today addresses the wrapping text issue.
You will find a 'wrap' option in the 'body' section that allows you to wrap text under the image/calendar.

Hi Olivier,

I send you an email with the URL. Anyway since you check the message it can give it here as well:

[URL taken out]

As I asked to make the site really live the URL after somewhere tomorrow might also be:

[/url][URL taken out]

I'll try the new version.

Thanks for your help![/url]
