Is there a way to either have this so it opens full size or a way of centering the photo so it is at least cropped better showing a nicer looking portion of the shot.

This is the actual shot that I am trying to show

Yes, you can add custom css to encourage such images to open either with a fixed greater height or even full height.

Add to your custom.css file
}
.article-intro .item-image {
max-height: 240px;
}

and edit max-height to, say, 450px or 100% in place of 240px.
If needed add “!important” like this max-height: 240px!important;

Good luck.

Create a new file using your FTP program e.g. Filezilla, called custom.css like this …… /templates/ja_teline_v/css/custom.css and paste into it

}
.article-intro .item-image {
max-height: 100%;
}

With luck your image should be full size after you Save and refresh your front end a few times.

You can also see and edit this file in the back end here from Extensions > Templates and click on the ‘ja_teline_v’ link to the right of the default star, like in image below:

The window you then see should like the image below where you see ‘custom.css’ under /css

Good luck.
Tim

P.S. You can preview these css edits using ‘Inspect Element’ in your browser.

Thanks a ton, I think for now I had better finish entering all the articles, I am taking this from a 525 page site to this type page with hopes of making it more interesting and not maxing out the site.. perhaps when I get caought up I can contact you for some help with this edit… – Thanks again for you help..- I am just learning and have gone from a stagnent sight to a more detailed site and not to this a litle more complicated yet.. so maybe when I get finished adding all the files (I am looking at maybe three weeks) then I can write you again thanks

Feel free to make contact again when you are ready. Is the old site also running on Joomla? Is it live?

Yes, I actually have both old sites running

current while waiting to finish this http://www.baltimorecitypolicehistory.com/ and the first site I had done http://baltimorecitypolicedept.org/citypolice/bpd-history/bcp-class-photos.html

http://www.baltimorepolicehistory.net/
Then this one I think it’ll take about 2 or 3 weeks to complete I am taking the 520+ pages and putting them on here – I figure add them first them work on remaning the articles and catagories and menues

I was on for 16 years before becoming a paraplegic while chasing a carjack suspect

Thanks again for your assistance

I’m sorry I had a guy working with me he did that I need to go back and change that, he left when I started this site, that one won’t let us add new content GoDaddy said we have too much info for the page.. I’m at a loss

Do you men that the pages are too long because of so many images? If so, why not use an album module such as Simple Image Gallery? It’s the right price too. http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/extension/photos-a-images/galleries/simple-image-gallery

Or use the Gallery feature in Teline V http://t5qs344.gpmnews.com/index.php/gallery

They were saying the number of pages, text and photo, so I started this rebuild, which should be done in maybe two weeks, and will be better to grow with as the history site, uses a lot of old historical news articles. So while it is confusing, and I would like to make a few changes, things like moving the comments to the bottom of the page rather splitting an article, as it does now
