Promo Block help

Hey everyone,

Sorry if this has been posted to death, but I am having a real issue. I have tried to work it myself for about a week....no success.

I am trying to put a news block on my site (globalmanagermagazine.com). I have the code below that was generated by the news site, and they said to embed this.

Now, I placed this in the HTML area for the promo, and it does appear fine. My issue is I am trying to make the promo block bigger (971x451). I have the width, now I need the height - from 262 to 451.

Any ideas????

Michael

NEWS CODE:

<object id="swfclipF1" width="971" height="451" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.thenewsroom.com/mash/swf/cube.swf?a=F1&m=1265231"> <param name="movie" value="http://www.thenewsroom.com/mash/swf/cube.swf?a=F1&m=1265231" /> <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /> <param name="base" value="." /> <param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> <param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object>

You'll need to edit the index.css file under ./templates/base/css/ - search for the following:

#indexPhotoBorder {
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
margin-bottom:11px;
position:relative;/*keep*/
}

Now, change it to this:

#indexPhotoBorder {
border: 1px solid #cccccc;
margin-bottom:11px;
position:relative;/*keep*/
height:500px;
}You may change the value to whatever amount you like.

I really struggled with that. Thanks Magnussoft! That worked.

Thanks for helping!

im think of using this to shrink the box so it only show welcome txt and login and signup buttons will changing this code and making it smaller say 80px  would this do this if so can you please tell me what CSS file and also what line needs to be edited many thanks pete

Just i want to get rid of the promo block all together and just keep welcome txt and login and sign up buttons

Getting rid of the promo images and keeping the bar with the buttons on it is quite easy.

Step 1) Delete all of your promo images.

Step 2) Edit templates\base\css\index.css at around line 136.

Look for this.

Excellent Done It Only Taken All Day To Edit Simple Number
