you should have a News CSS with all the relavent styles, if you rite clik to get the source view you will see what class those have and you can style them ....

Mark,

I figured out how to adjust the sizes fo the news and the news summary. However, do you knwo how I can get the following line not to look bold? Or perhaps chnage the color?

.NewsSummary {
                text-align: left;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 130%;
                line-height: 1em; 
                margin: 5px 0;
}



.NewsSummaryPostdate {
                text-align: left;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 100%;
                line-height: 1em; 
                margin: 5px 0;
}

.NewsSummarySummary, .NewsSummaryContent {
  line-height: 140%;
  margin-bottom: 10px;
}

#NewsPostDetailDate {
                text-align: left;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 130%;
                line-height: 1em; 
                margin: 5px 0;
  }
#NewsPostDetailAuthor {
                text-align: left;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 130%;
                line-height: 1em; 
                margin: 5px 0;
}
#NewsPostDetailSummary {
                text-align: left;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 130%;
                line-height: 1em; 
                margin: 5px 0;
  }

#NewsPostDetailContent {
                text-align: left;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 130%;
                line-height: 1em; 
                margin: 5px 0;
  }
#NewsPostDetailTitle {
                text-align: left;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 130%;
                line-height: 1em; 
                margin: 5px 0;
}
/* to add specific style to the below div, uncomment them. */
/*
.NewsSummaryLink {}
.NewsSummaryAuthor {}
.NewsSummaryMorelink {}
#NewsPostDetailTitle {}
#NewsPostDetailHorizRule {}
#NewsPostDetailCategory {}

#NewsPostDetailAuthor {}
#NewsPostDetailPrintLink {}
#NewsPostDetailReturnLink {}

in the detail template under Content » News...


{if $entry->summary}


{eval var=$entry->summary}


{/if}

Thanks Mark,

That worked just fine. Do you know how I could add the words "Posted by" before the person's account name. (see pic)

{if $entry->author}

in summary template...

{if $entry->author}

Posted by {$entry->author}

{/if}

Mark, When I add the news module to the front of my page, it looks great in Firefox, but looks very spaced out in Internet explorer. Could this be the news box, of the content (blue box I created)?

Should i delete that code? if so, how?

Also, i just installed the news mod on a fresh copy of cms and the same issue shows up in explorer? And those were default settings.


any thoughts?

look at the News templates to see if the code is showing there...
where are you putting the News tag... not perhaps in the content edit box... if so check to make sure you are putting it in using the Source button so that it isn't getting formatted...
the and lead me to believe you are just going to the page> edit content and just pasting it in at the end of your content... 

Your the man Mark! Thanks that was the issue, and I didnt know I had to post the code to the CMS, not the page. Looks to have fixed the problem. Thanks

you can put it in the Content » Pages » Edit Page: yourpage content edit box if you do it thru the Source button window after any formatting such as ...
