I’m using Joomla 1.5 and the Sanidine II theme. I’m replacing the defult slideshow add on with Joomla Works “front page slide show” plug in because I wanted more options. The slide show I’m using is slighty bigger and does away with the need for the the “latest news” section in the “ja bulletin” user.

I noticed that if I disable that module that reguardless if I have the slide show enabled it doesn’t show up on the page. So I’m assuming that the “latest news” section controls the height.

I was wondering what that was called in the css? I’ve looked through the file and can’t figure out which style is affecting that area of the template.

The other question I had is I’m trying to slightly reskin this theme. I want to change the style on the componants in the right side of the site. (user right) I’m trying to figure out which stylesare used for this area as well.

edit…

also one other question..

The dates on the front page use the nice images set up, but on my section pages it uses a standard date set up. How do I get the image based date to show up site wide?

example my front page http://www.macmaximum.com/

section page.. http://www.macmaximum.com/iphone
notice the date is simple text format and no longer stylized

Hi,
The part that controls the height of that section is:

#ja-topsl {
background:#1D1D1D url(../images/topsl-bg.gif) repeat-x scroll center bottom;
clear:both;
height:310px;
margin:0 10px;
overflow:hidden;
padding:0;
}

It can be found in template.css around line 1100

I’ll have a look for the answers to your other questions.

Cheers,
Jason

humm well that’s kinda strange, because it appears the height style is given to the “tops1” user which is the slide show and not “tops2” which is the latest news module.

It doesn’t make sense that disabling the latest news section would make the slide show disappear. Then again I’m not that great at figuring out these css layouts.

This appears to be the code for that section in the HTML..

<!– BEGIN: TOP SPOTLIGHT –>
<div id=”ja-topsl” class=”clearfix”>
<div id=”ja-topsl1″>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”topsl1″ style=”raw” />
</div>
<div id=”ja-topsl2″>
<jdoc:include type=”modules” name=”topsl2″ style=”xhtml” />
</div>
</div>
<!– END: TOP SPOTLIGHT –>

btw I found the css for the modules on the right they are “ja-box-br” around 760 if anyone else is looking

Anyone have any idea how I can get the article dates to be consistent across the entire site?.. It seems only the front page has the calender type style.
