Changing the way news is displayed [solved]
Posted: Tue Mar 24, 2009 10:49 am
Hi everyone.
I'm pretty stuck with this one so help is appreciated: I'm wanting to display articles on a page, so I implemented the News module (since it was already installed) but the way that it's currently laid out is not really want I'd like. Ideally it would be better if each article block was only about 200px wide (which I have done by changing the stylesheet) but instead of them showing in one vertical column one after another I'd like it to show like a grid layout (so, three news articles at the top followed by three underneath and so on) but I cannot really work out how to do this. I would have thought a float property would solve it but I'm unsure as to where to implement it.
It may be that there is a more suitable and user friendly module out there (like perhaps the blogmadesimple?) so if someone could shed some light on this problem I'd be very grateful.
Thank you
Michael
