Hi,

I think this would apply to most of the templates although the one I am using is JA Antares in Legacy mode for Joomla 1.5

The only problem I have is my news archive, the headlines are ridiculously large and I don’t want to show images on this page, but the pages are looking a real mess. The rest of the site is fine, thank heaven!

Any fixes, I am sure it is a matter of tweaking, i just don’t know where.

As for the headlines…you can change the size…but be advised it will impace ALL headings in your website.

in template_css.css (line 527)

Adjust the line in RED below


.contentheading {
color:#3F89C3;
font-size:1.5em
}

Try changing it to 12 or 14px…save it and then look at your page and see if that is more of your liking. Some will scream at me for going from em’s to px’s but I think in your case you’re going to have to. Another issue you have is that you have different fonts for various headlines. This is something you’ll have to change in the original article.

Make sure you look at the difference in different browsers to guage the impact.

As for the pictures…the only way I know to get rid of them would be to delete them out of the original article.

Have fun!
John.

Thanks John,

I changed the font size to 1.5em and it does look better.

The problem with the headings being of different fonts is one I will have to go back over.

I have an entire archive of news releases dating back to 2005 to date, to swap over. The client used Contribute on an old site for the CMS and cut and pasted Word documents onto a new Contribute page, or just added a link to the Word Doc. Nightmare…… I thought I had got rid of most of the extra formatting, but missed out on the titles….groan!

Cheers
Judy

On the bright side…all the new articles you’re now inputting into a CMS should be forever useful and customizable. But you’re right, we will feel the pains of our static HTML days for a while. 🙂
