Well, I've created a new Joomla sight and got it working with less than one tenth of the hassle of my first Joomla effort. See www.sapphirecoastnews.com

I'd sure appreciate a shove in the right direction re RSS feed and/or the css that drives a module.

I used the mod_feed for an external RSS but it wouldn't work unless the permissions on the Cache directory were set to 777. So after searching the documentation and other blogs I abandoned that and found Slick RSS. extensions.joomla.org/extensions/externa...readers/1649/details Works perfectly straight off.

But the indented list isn't aligned correctly. I cant figure out from Firebug or View Source where to fix the css. I think I'm looking for li.slick_rss_list {

A shove in the right direction might mean a tutorial or it might mean telling me what I'm looking for and where to find it.

But if I could get either of these RSS working right, I'd be happy.

Thanks,
Laurie.

Laurie,

The ul and li in your template are not specifically formatted. So at the moment, it just uses the default browser settings to display the linked list.

For the slick-rss-list module, it's making the left margin and padding 0px, so that's what's causing it to move left.

<ul style="margin-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px;" class="slick-rss-list">

So I would...
- Find out where the line above is triggered (possibly in the slick-rrs-list module code) and remove the style value so that it becomes like the latest news and most read modules)
- Create a style in template_css.css for the UL and LI styles to get them how you want.
- If you want a seperate style for latestnews, mostread and slick-rss-list you could define them as sub styles in the style sheet (eg to give each of these a different link colour).

Hope that helps.

Thanks Patrick.

Found the line in templ\default.php

Despite my php illiteracy I got it, first go.

Looks better now. Much appreciated.
