News Box Manager v3.0.0 [Support Thread]

[shags38]

Hi Cindy - I just love this plugin - many thanks for creating it!!

just a couple of things;

1. article title doesn't show as bold (see image below) - on hover it does go blue for link - .css indicates it should be bold - how to adjust?

2. in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/news_box_manager_defines.php ..... can I replace the BOX_HEADING_NEWS_BOX', 'Latest News' text with an image? I have created the image but not sure how to make it render - tried replacing the text with a link to the image but it wouldn't work for me, likely wrong code.

I also tried adding a row in the stylesheet_news_box_manager.css with a background image in lieu of the above - but again it didn't render

#newsscrollbox ol { margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-position: inside; }

#moreNewsDefault .news_header { font-weight: bold; padding-right: 0.3em; }
#moreNewsDefault .newsContent { padding: 0.3em 0; }

#news-table { display: table; border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; margin: 0.8em 0; }
.image-row { display: table-row; border: 1px solid #00BFFF; background-image: url(/images/latestnews.png); background-repeat: no-repeat; width: 100%; height: 75px; }
.news-row { display: table-row; border: 1px solid #00BFFF; }
.news-heading { font-weight: bold; }
.news-cell { display: table-cell; padding: 0.5em; border: 1px solid #00BFFF; }

If you can assist that would be great - if I should be posting this in another thread for assistance then please say so

cheers, Mike

Mike, a link to the site (via PM if you desire) would help me help you for these styling/page-layout type questions.

Hi Cindy, thanks for your quick reply - here is the site https://www.dazzlerscliponearrings.com.au - ideally adding a blank full length table row above the existing top row, so an integral part of the table, into which the existing heading of 'Latest News' would be placed instead of consuming (more) space on the page and such that an image can be inserted in lieu of the text .... so it makes a single element when loaded on the page, in lieu of 2 lines of text (and resultant 2 rows of white space) plus table. The to view all articles click view all text could be incorporated in the same row block as the article title (this part I have been able to do).
Maybe to make that result less 'blocky' possibly have top and side borders of the 'new' top row have their own css lines so that the borders could be #FFFFFF

cheers, Mike

Mike, for the article title showing in bold, try updating the css to include

.news-cell > a:first-child { font-weight: bold; }

The title is the very first anchor directly present in a news-cell class element.

I'm still looking at the other styling question.

Many thanks Cindy - worked a treat.

In which directory is that latestnews.png file (noting that it should be present in the template's /images sub-directory for use by the CSS)?

Hi Cindy - it is in /images folder - so I move it to my_template/images folder ........ then in includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/news_box_manager_defines.php I replaced the text 'Latest News' with <img src="includes/templates/westminster_new/images/latestnews.png" alt="latest news"> .... and all is good! So thank you.

I am now going to try to insert a smaller image in the NEWS_BOX_HEADING_TITLE row .... wish me luck

many thanks,
Mike

Not an issue, or a least not a big one.

I set in the admin profile for a limited admin access the [all types] to be accessed, but when going to tool > News Box Manager [all types] i get:

Sorry, your security clearance does not allow you to access this resource.
Please contact your site administrator if you believe this to be incorrect.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

If I select in the admin profile the type 1/2/3/4 they are accessable, yet the all types is not.
What am I missing?
