Positions 1-2 on my site are Sidenews modules, but Position 3 I have to display an RSS feed, and thus insert a custom HTML module – how do I fix the height of the module such that it is the same as the auto-made sidenews modules in position 1 and position 2 ?

Might you be able to provide the url to your site so that we can take a better look at your specific issue?

It’s built on my client’s secure server – but here is a screenshot.

Looks like you’ve done quite a bit of customization thus far (which is why being able to view the site online (even if secured) would be helpful). Nevertheless, have you tried to (perhaps) adjust the “min-height” value for that particular element?

If you can view your site in the Firefox browser, might I suggest using FIREBUG[/url"> to play around with various customization/modification testing?

How do I adjust the min-height for position 3?

Sorry I would share but I signed an NDA! Also in Firefox, the small contact and social media boxes stack in the right column and don’t wrap, only a Firefox on a PC issue…

I played with min-height, but that makes all the min-height for modules 490, whereas the other boxes are 240…

Is there a css code I could put into the body of the custom module to make it height 490px?

I tried adding the “no-padding double rows” module class suffix on it and it is displaying as such (see attached).

Here is the code for the custom feed inside:

<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://feedsweep.com/Products/FeedSweep/Producer.aspx?feeds=http%3a%2f%2ftradingsmarter.tradingscreen.com%2ffeed%2f&title=TradingSmarter&maxoutput=1&charlimit=70&headlinelimit=100&datesort=descending&notitle=true&displaydates=false&linktitle=feed&cat=12&headlineclassname=title&bodyclassname=body&width=200&padding=5&borderstyle=none&separatorstyle=none&includexmlbutton=false&linecolor=%23FFFFFF&titlecolor=%23333333&textcolor=%23555555&headerfont=open_sans_semiboldregular&titlefont=open_sans_lightregular&titlefontsize=15&font=open_sans_lightregular&fontsize=10&headerfontweight=none&titlefontweight=none&key=5QaPurPGi0GJOgxv_B5zEQ&ver=5.0.1.0″></script>

Out of curiosity …. Why would you need to create a custom module for this particular position?

Well when I tried to make an article that had the feed in it and just have the sidenews pull the article, it would not pull the feed…it is an outside feed from another blog of the company’s, hence why I can’t just have it pull the latest item, but rather, pull the content from another external site. Unless you have a better suggestion?
