checkmate,
I dont understand ware and way you like to disable the front page formating.
Could you please explain?
If it is rezing of the images in the news-FP module you are better off to not use that module

I found a work around. Instead of using the frontpage blog layout I’m just linking my homepage menu item to a article instead which removes all the auto formatting and resizing that happens with the frontpage blog.

This sounds really familiar. I had the same problem a few weeks ago, although not with the whole site, just one Section:

http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/articles-not-going-to-correct-category/

In the end, Menalto, one of the JA Mod’s PM’d me a ‘hack’ to make to the js.news.css file :

Basically, open this file and find the following:

}

.jazin-content img {
padding: 5px 10px 0 0;
}


and change it to:

}

.jazin-content img {
float:left;
padding: 5px 10px 0 0;
}


It worked for me, but I’m still not sure how exactly! 🙂

This is an odd solution Chris. Just saw this today.

I thought the JA News module performs this trick? You choose, left, right or none. I wonder if the hardwired float: left; will affect the image placement if you do decide to have the image on the right, when you have two copies of JA News.

By the way, if you do have left and right images format for your news site (more than one JA News module), it may be good to change the padding:

}

.jazin-content img
{
padding: 5px 10px 5px 10px: /* t r b l */
}


not sure if you are aware of the convention already the first number is the spacing at the top, the second – right; third- bottom and fourth -left (so I do not forget I always place /* t r b l */

I wish they show some websites BosseP. It took time for me to understand it but itt is a matter of how the backend menu for JA News and JA News Frontpage were filled. I wonder how they answered the option:

Auto Resize: Yes No.

And, since this thread is very old, I wonder if people already updated. There are features in the latest Teline II that seemed to improve on the older versions.

Hello Cornelio I Agree!
I havent updatedTeline for a long time. I am afraid to do it as I have fixed so many bugs and modified the code A LOT.

I will start to build a few new news sites and will use the latest efition of Teline (have you found anything better? If so PM meplease!) for them. Then cusomtize and later copy over to the old one.

Just update your Joomla. There is no problem with that part. It is very critical for security reasons.

On the other hand, there are a number of changes in the directories and files in the latest version of Teline II v1.6, especially the Hot Topic. I cannot just overwrite it, like you would with the Joomla update. I destroyed several sites already.

I have not found anything better than Teline II yet, but we should address the issue in a more long term approach. The last time I asked Hung about his plans with Teline II, he said in response to my post that Joomla is not really suited for news-magazine. I don’t think so. If it looks like Joomlart has no plans of going further with Teline II, we have to find alternative ways to address this.

I, for one, think Opal is a GREAT news-magazine template…just packaged and promoted for sports.
It’s got JA_news built in…as do many, if not, most of the templates since the release of Teline II.

And…someone correct me if I’m wrong…but it does pretty much everything the Teline templates did…with the exception of being able to colorcode specific categories.

John.

You’ve got one of two things going on. First it appears as though you are not taking advantage of the READ MORE piece of code. If you were, there is no way an image that appears in the MAIN area of the article could ever appear in the intro text. READ MORE acts as sort of a blocker.

John.</blockquote>

This is not the case with JA_Lead. We are using the intro text…don’t want an image in the intro text, just the full article view. However, if we insert the image below the READ MORE, it still appears in the intro…resized with the nice frame and drop-shadow. Unfortunately, we don’t want an image there.

Has there been a resolution to this? I’ve seen about 10 different threads of this same problem, but no fix.

Thanks!

Anyway for anyone else frustrated by this and doesn’t want to mess around creating loads of new images or editing loads of articles to remove them or is worried about server strain you need to remove this bit of code from:

templatesja_teline_iihtmlcom_contentsection
templatesja_teline_iihtmlcom_contentcategory

in both folders open up blog.php & blog_item.php

in the two blog.php files remove:

//Get module ja magazin frontpage parameter:
if(file_exists(JPATH_SITE .DS.'modules'.DS.'mod_janews'.DS.'helper.php'))
require_once (JPATH_SITE .DS.'modules'.DS.'mod_janews'.DS.'helper.php');
else
require_once ('../helper.php');

in the two blog_item.php files remove:

<?php
$this->image = modJANewsHelper::replaceImage ($this->item, $this->img_align, 1, $this->maxchar, 1, $this->img_w, $this->img_h, $this->hiddenClasses);
?>


Not sure if this will mess anything else up…but it seems to be ok. Maybe someone from JA can confirm that it wont break anything else.</blockquote>

Thank you Perdu, for this workaround. I had the same problem with this version of JA News, and deleting this piece of code works fine for me.
At the same time it solves another image-problem: formerly the original image-positioning was deleted, probably by this helper.php; now I can formulate positioning-code and it stays in the output.

Best regards, Piet
