Chris,

Anyway I can see the site? Plus, I need to be clear on the RSS Feed, where it's located in your screen shot. Is it the News? But, would still need site url to help.

Best,

Jen

Thanks for the reply Jen. The website is:  http://urbanpulseamericus.ning.com/  Yes the News section is the RSS Feed.

Thank you again for looking at this for me.

Chris,

For some reason the RSS won't load for me, using FireFox. I'll look again later.

Best,

Jen

k, Chris. This code will affect all RSS feeds in left column, that contain images. The RSS Feed module doesn't have unique IDs for each RSS Module we use. I also added a nice shadow and frame, thought you might like. If not, just remove that code. Add to bottom of Advanced CSS.

 

.xg_widget_main #column1 .module_feed .xg_module_body img {
    width:150px!important;
}
/* Shadow and Border for RSS Feed images */
.xg_widget_main #column1 .module_feed .xg_module_body img {
    padding:2px;
    border:1px solid #dadada;
   -moz-box-shadow: 3px 3px 8px #e6e6e6;
    -webkit-box-shadow: 3px 3px 8px #e6e6e6;
    box-shadow: 3px 3px 8px #e6e6e6;
    /* For IE 8 */
    -ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(Strength=42, Direction=135, Color='#e6e6e6')";
}

Best,

Jen

GREAT!!!! That worked perfectly.  Thank you so much.

Is there a way to control the amount to text that is displayed in the feed?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Great! On the amount of text, it would take custom code I've never try to write.

Best,

Hey Chris,

I could write some non-trivial jQuery custom code to count up all the characters in all the p tags that are inside the text part of each RSS feed item and then remove all the extra characters beyond a given count.  There would be a little fee...

But maybe try this, using CSS:

 

.xg_widget_main #column1 .module_feed .xg_module_body {
    max-height: 80px;
    overflow: hidden;
}

 

Change the 80px max-height to suit your desire.

It might clip tall pics too.  But it might be an easy way to limit the height of any RSS feed item.  Just a thought. :-)

Best wishes!

"TJ"

Hey Jen - Thanks for all the help with the site!  I have one more question.   Is there a way to reduce the size of the Blog Post thumbnail image similar to the way we did the RSS feed?

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Sure, my pleasure. Where exactly? I didn't see the blog module on your home page.

Best,

Jen
