Custom Modules

Hello,
Last week I purchased the professional version of Contentteller. First I would just like to say this is a very impressive content managment system. So far everything is going well with the setup. However there is one small aesthetic issue I cannot solve.

I want my new menus to look like the old ones. I have attached images of the old and new menus.

The issue is I cannot work out how to separate each data entry into its own table.

Basically the same but with $article_title and in /blocks/articles_latest.php:

                         if (strlen( $article_title ) > 22 )

                            {

                                 $article_title = substr( $article_title, 0, 20 ) . "...";

                               }

You need to add the following before the previous $news_latest line:

                           if (strlen( $newsstory_title ) > 22 )

                          {

                                 $newsstory_title = substr( $newsstory_title, 0, 20 ) . "...";

                           }


This will limit the news stories to 20 characters

In the second image attached in the first post you will notice that the text links are limited to a single line using a character limitation. How would I implement this into your code?

You find the HTML output of latest news in /blocks/news_latest.php:

$news_latest .= "&middot; <a href=\"" . $seo_url . "news" . $preferences[ 'param_action' ] . "story" . $preferences[ 'param_page' ] . $newsstory_seo . ".html\">" . htmlspecialchars( $newsstory_title ) . "</a><br />";


It is necessary to clear the cache (Main / Clear Cache in admin section) after every block modification.
