Article image layout

Hi all,

Any ideas on how i can have my article section look more like an magazine layout. A lot of my articles have images and my goal is to have the text wrap around the image.

Re: Article image layout

You need to create a “Form” for the look of the article. This form is called “event_list”. similar to:
<!— event list —>
<div style=“padding-left:10px”><txp:permlink><txp:article_image style=“border:1px solid #fff;” thumbnail=“1” /></txp:permlink></div>
<ul><li><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink><br>
<txp:custom_field name=“event_info”/>
</li></ul>

Then you must upload an image and a thumbnail into the Content/Images tab on the admin side.

After this you get an image ID # in the Content/Images tab. Add that # to the article in the place called Article Image.

Finally on the Presentation page (the template), you can put <txp:article form=“event_list”/> and this will return images with thumbnails.

Hope this helps and I didn’t miss any steps. Cheers.
