hi my website is http://www.cheapflightsgatwick.com/ and i am trying to find out how to get more space after each article on the home page and after the read more. the demo site under the health section shows lots of space and i am trying to create the same amount of space so the page looks cleaner.

any help would be great

if you look at your demo here http://joomla25-templates.joomlart.com/ja_teline_iv/health.html you will see it is nicely set out, there is plenty of space between the top article and the bottom article, but if you look at my site http://www.cheapflightsgatwick.com you will see the articles are crammed together.

also is there a way when working in category features for the home page, where you can make sure that you have a paragraph for each article. at the moment all you can do is to set how many characters of the article you want to show but this causes problems where you have some words missing. it would be nice if you could do the same as the category blog where you can use the read more devider to show a paragraph.

This demo page is a category blog layout while your home page is the Ja newpro module layout so of course they are different, btw I am not sure which “plenty of space” you mentioned.

What do you mean by “category features for the home page” ? Do you mean to the Ja newpro or Ja newfeature module ?

it is the ja news pro module i am using, i would like to know instead of characters, is it possible to have like the category blog where you can just display the first paragraph. this would then make the page much nicer instead of having a sentence with missing words

if you want the module display the whole introtext section or the first paragraph as mentioned you could try as following
Open the file of modulesmod_janewsprotmpldefaultblog_item.php looking for this code
[PHP]<?php
if($maxchars > strlen($row->introtext1) ) {
echo $row->introtext;
} else {
echo $row->introtext1;
}
?>[/PHP]

Change it to
[PHP]
<?php
if($maxchars > strlen($row->introtext1) || $maxchars == -1) {
echo $row->introtext;
} else {
echo $row->introtext1;
}
?>
[/PHP]

Then you go to the module back-end > at the field of Max Chars you leave it the value of -1.

I hope this change would help !
