News module, short text with fixed lines ?

[uhebeisen]

hello, just having installed WB and set it up. Is it possible to have the News module (blog) setup that only the first three lines of text are displayed for the short text and the rest of an entry will be shown if the user clicks the "read more" link?

also I would like to have this link "read more" ("weiterlesen" in German) closer to the related text and not that close to the next entry. I assume that there is a CSS file with these declarations somewhere?

thank you for your help

In the news page  - settings you will find the html blocks that make the look of the newspage, in the modules/news you will find frontend.css. In this file you can alter the css for the news.

This will make it possible to make the newspage look just like you want it.

I think there is a modified version of news (or a snippet) that you can set at a number of characters to show in the intro. Search the forums and www.amasp.org.

I don't think you will be able to set a number of lines, as a "line" is not something that is clearly defined.
