Space between Summary Can't Post
How do I reduce the size of the spacing on the category page between each summary?

It looks like double spacing and I want single spacing.



TIA.

Hi,

Thanks for the post!

To change the white space from inbetween each article summary on your index page you will want to edit the /templates/index/default.html file. To do this follow the steps below:

- Find the following lines of code:

Code
<span class="summary_date">$art_date$, $art_time$<br clear="all"><br></span>

and replace it with:

Code
<span class="summary_date">$art_date$, $art_time$<br clear="all"></span>

What you are doing here is removing the <br> tag that is located before the closing </span> tag. Additionally you are going to find the above line of code in four places, the four places are:

- Inside the <!-- templatecell: row -->, <!-- templatecell: row_summary -->, <!-- templatecell: row_link -->, <!-- templatecell: row_ufile --> sections.

Give this a try and let me know if you have anymore questions. :)

Chet,

Thank you for your reply.

I did try that, it was still not working.

I went and removed all the <br>'s from all the template cells on the index template.

I am adding the below code to each article to get single spacing :

<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">

That is just a lot of work when we are posting over 20 articles per day.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

try change the following
Code
<span class="summary_date">$art_date$, $art_time$<br clear="all"><br></span>

to
Code
<DIV class="summary_date">$art_date$, $art_time$</DIV>

you dont need to add <p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0"> manually to every article you publish. just change the code i told you about in the /templates/article/default.html page

Hi blackanthem,

Thanks for the post! Smile

I'd suggest trying Marssin's solution to see if that works for you (thanks Marssin!). I'd also suggest taking a look to ensure that none of your articles have an extra line break at the end of the article summary. If this is the case then you'll find that you'll always get that extra space on the published page.

I hope this helps, just let me know if you have any other questions or comments, just let me know! Smile

Mike,

I did try Marssin's solution but, I already have removed the date, time and category from our summary page. (template/index/default.html).

We would like the summary to have the title, and on the next line, a small picture and then to the right of the picture the summary. Then on the next line the title of the next article and so on.

Take a look at the site at www.blackanthem.com and you will see what we want to accomplish.

Mike, if you are so inclined, I will give you the keys to the site and you can take a look at my code and see if I am doing anything wrong or if you can make a suggestion, it would be greatly appreciated, posting the margin code is getting to be a bit much.

Thanks again everyone for the suggestions.

Hi Thomas.

Thanks for the update!

I had a look at your site and I am actually seeing what I think you are aiming for. Article title, then image next to text then a single space then the next article title, etc.

I am thinking that you may have already got the spacing issue resolved, but I would be more than happy to take a closer look if you are still having trouble. All you’ll need to do is fill out a support request here:

Either way though, keep me up to date with how you are making out Smile.
