[Paid] News Site SSI

(1/3) > >>

Motorhed:
Hi all.

First, let me state that I am very far from able to pay much for this modification, but I'm hoping it will be simple enough that my offer will not be an insult.

I am offering $15.


The Mod:

When you look at news sites, you'll see that news headlines usually look like this:


[IMAGE] [Title & Short Blurb]

[IMAGE] [Title & Short Blurb]

[IMAGE] [Title & Short Blurb]

[IMAGE] [Title & Short Blurb]


And so on. The idea being that there is an image to grab the reader's eye, and next to that image will be the headline and a short amount of text FROM that story.


For example, imagine the blocks on the left represent ONE big image floating left...

[________] POPE SHOOTS BEAR!
[________] by Motorhed, 01/21/12
[________] The Pope shot a bear today. He was strolling through the
[________] woods when suddenly the bear appeared from nowhere...

So essentially what we have is the current SSI board news thing, but here's the catch...

The image floating to the left is the first image attached to that post. In other words, attachment #1 of that post is displayed to the left of the news blurb.


No other attachments would be displayed, ONLY that one floating to the left. This is because other images would clearly break the layout if they appeared in the text.


I would also like an idea of how to add this to a SimplePortal block as well.


For any info, please ask.


Thanks!

Old Fossil:
Have you considered using the portals RSS block?

Motorhed:
Does that have the first attachment in the post aligned left of the title and blurb while displaying no other images?

Old Fossil:
If you mean attachment as in image tthen no.

If ya have a look at my Broadstar link look at the Music-News block.


This is an RSS block.

Motorhed:
Ah, okay.

Check out the post again, the attachment thing is the most important part and actually probably the only thing that makes this a mod as opposed to just using the board news SSI.
