Category image isn't showing

What template are you using?

Thanks for the quick reply! I’m trying to use one of the vertical scroll ones. Do I need to go change any setting on the template file?

Right now that template doesn’t handle images. If you want you can change it to handle images but you’d need to change the code and also add some css to make it work.

OK I have been looking at the template code, I would have to add something like “$readable .=” and then the image output right? Can you help me out on how to make the image show?

Thank you

I changed my mind, after trying the smoothscrool template, thats the one I am going for. I wish for it to show the category image as well. I am guessing we will need to alter the boxes height though.

I can give you my wordress site adress, but it has been blacklisted for now (it is a work in progress). I can acess it anyway, it is completly safe.

As you can see the right limit for the container is a bit of, i’d like to scretch a bit more to the right to fit the website desing.

Thank you so much for your help!

New breaktrough! I was able to either get an image on the template and adjust the template width! I did this:

php file :

$readable .= '<p><div class="wprssmi-excerpt">'.showexcerpt($items["mydesc"],10,$openWindow,0

css file :

#wprssmi_RssParade
	{
		width: 675px;
		height: 400px;
		position: relative;
	}

The only changes I wish to make now are:

1. Change the title font to bold (I’m guessing this will be the easy part)
2. Change the boxes height, as the images i want to show are occupying too much space and the rest of the feed content is disapearing in the floor limit of the box.
3. Change the placement of the image to be on top of the feed title.

Once again big tanks!

Yes. Height , etc will be handled both in the template and the CSS.

Can you help me out in the repositioning of the image and the height of the boxes?

Thanks!

Also, I’ve tried this on the css:

p.wprssmi_title {
	    margin: 8px 0 4px;
	    text-transform: uppercase;
	font-size:12px;  //change the title font size here
	font-weight: bold;
	}

But I can’t get the title to go bold as I want!

Sir I just adjusted my template height and the title of the feeds are now on bold. Only one problem remaining, I cant move the image to the top without draggin the excerpt with it.

Will be awaiting your reply, much apreciated.

I need to see the URL of the website to help you

There you go, as I said, the page is blacklisted, but you can go in with no arm done. I will also send you the cose of the template im using:

$readable .= '<p class="wprssmi_title"><a '.$openWindow.' href='.$items["mylink"].' '.($noFollow==1 ? 'rel=nofollow':'').' style="color:'.$anchorcolor.'">'.$items["mytitle"].'</a></p>';
$readable .= '<p><div class="wprssmi-excerpt">'.showexcerpt($items["mydesc"],10,$openWindow,0,$items["mylink"],$adjustImageSize,$float,$noFollow,$items["myimage"],$items["mycatid"]).'</span></div></p>';

ok…first of all, your theme is overwriting the bold, so do this instead

font-size:12px !important;

Second, what is the RSS url that you are using…it’s easier for me to see what’s going on by reproducing on my development server.

k thanks!

I’m using these rss urls:
-https://web.ismt.pt/wp/oimtnews/?feed=rss2
-https://web.ismt.pt/wp/diinews/?page_id=46/?feed=rss2

But I’m only using the 2 images from the respective categories:
-https://ati.ismt.pt/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/oimt_40.png
-https://ati.ismt.pt/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/did1_40.png

I’m guessing the problem is that, in the code I gave you earlier, the text excerpt and the image display are glued together in that sentece. Maybe if we split it?

first, find this in the template.css file and change the height to 300, as follows

div.wprssmi_item_inner {
	    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FCFCFC;
	    border: 1px solid #DDDDDD;
	    height: 300px;  //245px;  //300px;
	    overflow: hidden;
	    position: relative;
		width:220px;  //220px;  //250px;
		margin:5px;
	}

then go into the shortcode settings and uncheck the box that says float the image left.
