XenPorta Linux.org modified RecentNews 1.0

[kprojects]

kprojects submitted a new resource:

XenPorta modified RecentNews - Make your recent news block look like Linux.org

We modified our RecentNews XenPorta block quite a bit. You can see it here:
http://www.Linux.org

Just modify two templates:
EWRblock_RecentNews
EWRblock_RecentNews.css

This code worked with 1.1.5 and with 1.2

Note: We are currently experiencing an issue where editing a thread and clicking 'more options' generates an 'unspecified error', but I don't believe it is related to this change.

1. Back up your templates so you can revert
2. Replace the txt in EWRblock_RecentNews with:...

estimated that if the news does not take a picture, no possibility of inserting a default?.

Correct - It will use the avatar of the user if slide.jpg isn't present.

If anyone uses it, shoot me a link so i can see what it looks like on other sites

This is actually looking rather good. I quite like this approach. Thanks @kprojects for sharing this! I might give this a shot soon, then I will let you know the result

Great! Looks like you just need to add some images and you'll be golden!

Since my site is wider how would i go to make the picture centralized and the background with a color Thanks

MasterPiece: I'd upload some images with the posts called slide.jpg first to see what they look like..

ive done that. but my site is not fixed width so it look weird. and empty spaced. take a look its not exactly like yours

 

[kprojects]

MasterPiece: man, that sucks.. I should add to the description that this only looks good on fixed width sites perhaps.

Very nice!

Anyway to force the slides to stretch to the correct size even if they distort?

The Xenporta "slider" Recent Features uses slide.jpg, would it not be better to set this up to use news.jpg or something unique?

There are a cpl people requesting this... I'll ask our dev on Monday if this is something he can modify.

Volion: we wanted to upload only one image per post so we wanted to pull the same one for this mod and for the recentfeatures.

Thanks, that would save my front page from getting messed up if a mod promoted a thread without a properly sized image!

Any chance of responsive as well while you dev is looking at it?

 

[kprojects]

It's 'almost' responsive now .. lol. The images do get squished up tho..
