Hi,
Right on the ‘In the spotlight’ section the sample images are set at 800 x 600 so I set all my images at this size. however on the actual template they are cropped – see attachment, the cropped area is shown darker. My question is what is the point of saying images should be 800 x 600 when in fact they are cropped to 786 x 384?

a second question is the container box for the ‘spotlight’ slideshow can the height be altered? – there’s often a lot of white space below my text.

Hi

Your website is off-line we cannot take a look at it – maybe you can edit this topic and add your backend login info so we can better understand what is happening on your website.

Sorry it took so long to reply – other stuff –

I get the custom CSS to address image but just don’t understand why. I’d rather have an image for the space shown without any need to crop

You should disable the Auto-generated Images feature from article options -> Shared tab

What I’ve done is to crop the starting image to the screen size. We’ll see how that pans out – the site is not live and we are still tweaking.

1. All I need to do now is get rid of the grey area below the photo – I saw a forum howto post
2. and get rid of the white area beow the text – see attachment, the area crosshatched in red

Hi

2) It is set with a minimum height to allow more introtext- anyway you can change it and set a new minimum height in this way

add to your custom.css this line of code

.magazine-featured.style-1 .magazine-carousel .magazine-item-main {
min-height:164px!important;
}

I fyou still do not have a custom.css file in this folder /templates/ja_teline_v/css/ then add a new one, it is needed to add code that will be kept in case of template update so the customizations will be not overrided with new files.

1) In the same file try to add this

.magazine-featured .item-image img,.magazine-featured .pull-left.item-image img {
min-height:384px!important;
min-width:630px!important;
} 

Let me know if it is ok
