Addling line or space between article summarys SOLVED!

[plushett]

On the main page i have summary's listed with pictures, my problem is the summarys are to close together. I would like to add a line between summarys, or just increas the space between them.

Code: Select all

$template_default["space_between_list"] = '<hr>';

fill in whatever you need there.

ok stupid question, where will i place that line of code? in the template following the {content} tag?
and do i place a value in that code to decide the amount of space ?
sorry to ask stupid questions, I am reading as many css books as i can and reading posts here as much as possible also. just getting into these snags once in awhile and getting impatient. hehe again thank you for the super fast response.

ok so i decided to not be lazy and start searching around and went to the root directory of phpwcms/config/phpwcms/conf.template_default.inc.php
and found that line of code. i put in the <hr> part at the end but no results so far perhaps i have it wrong. and where do i set the <hr> values? for say size and color. I am assuming i would set the hr values in frontend.css
in this area.
.articleSummary {
font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
color: #000000;
line-height: 135%;
}

i guess now question would be correct way of adding the hr values in that area.

don't know which version of phpwcms you use but try to find out that it works first there for you.

Then use CSS or any other replacement for <hr> there to format your space between article summary listings.

Use any code there like:

Code: Select all

$template_default["space_between_list"] = '<div class="myspacer">any html tag you want to use there too <img src="img/leer.gif" width="1" height="25" alt="my spacer image"></div>';

Search the forum too to get information about general template default you have to set in conf.template_default.inc.php.

thank you very much for your help, im making headway now. been doing more reading and starting to gain a better grasp.

[Oliver Georgi]

try other values too - this should be the correct you need at the moment.

Code: Select all

$template_default["space_between_sum"] = '<hr>';
