Hi,

I rund a site where the design would look better if I could split the top intro text with a table, so that I have an image on the left side, in the article, that would be ~30% of the width, and have the story, including the title and contributed by etc be on the right 70%. I've managed to do this simply by modifying the professional theme with the split, but since the front page is generated from the same template as the article page, this shows up on the main page too. Not ideal since the image for each story is quite large.

Is there an easy way to make this appear only on the article page, but not on the front page? like this

artice:
| image | Bla bla title and story stuff | (30/70%)

main
| Bla bla title and story stuff | (100%)

Hope someone understands what I mean...

You have to change that in /layout/professional/article/article.thtml. Just make a two-column table, put the image in the left column, the {formatted article} in the right column.

Thank you, that solved half of it. However, now I've ended up with something like this

| image | all the text |
| -------- | all the text |
| -------- | all the text |
| -------- | all the text |
| -------- | all the text |
| -------- | all the text |

when what I was aiming for was more like

| image | headline and stuff |
| body text body text body t|
| body text body text body t|
| body text body text body t|
| body text body text body t|
| body text body text body t|

Tried combining it with stuff in storybodytext.thtml, but that messes up the layout entirely.

I guess I have to go after the {formatted_article} where it is generated. Is this in article.php?

Yep. All it does, though, is to call STORY_renderArticle() which is in system/lib-story.php

bye, Dirk
