Problems with layouting was created by mesa
Hi,

I just installed LNEE. That worked fine, but I got some issues / questions on layouting.

This is what I expected:
Last news at the pages side-column containing: image (from the article, preferable your overlaped-style) + article-preview-text + read more link.

When I use original-style I get an image with 64px width, plus a large "border-box". (see screenshot)

When I use the preferred overlap-style I get a small image with no text and a lot of white space until the next news-article. (see screenshot)

I've attached a screenshot from my settings as well.
Those settings are a bit confusing, I don't know what I am doing wrong. Is there some documentation for that extension? I was not able to find it.

Thanks in advance

Florian

Hello,
could you send me a URL to see if you have any CSS conflicts with your template?
There is documentation, on the same page you downloaded the module from. There are also descriptions for each parameter when you have the mouse over them. You probably should not have a width of 200. If you want article items of a specific width, it should be set in 'item width'. If using the original or overlap styles, the picture width should be smaller than the item width. It needs room to show the text :-)

I forgot to mention: make sure you use the 'crop images' setting.

Hello,
as I suspected, there are CSS conflicts with the template. You will have to override them like so:
.innernews a {
    background-color: none !important;
    border: none !important;
    margin: 0 !important;
    padding: 0 !important;
}
Moreover, your thumbnails are not of the right size for the style you have selected (overlap).
The thumbnails need to be of the same size as the overall look. That means: item width = image width. I would suggest 180px. Image height: 130px.
The fonts need to be adjusted as well. I am about to release a new version of the module but if you want it right now, just email me at [email protected]. It adds a feature: font reference size that allows you to adjust font sizes inside the module and not rely on template sizes.

By the way, you need to have 'reset pictures' on to re-create the thumbnails.
