    • I agree nicely done. One thing I did notice is that in the rotator at the top the black banner that has the title for the slide such as *Dubai debt crisis FAQ* and the others the black banner is cut off and too short for all of the text to fit on so its hard to read some of them.

    • Yes, I noticed that too - but I think it is standard for FP RockStories (?). I guess I could keep my headlines shorter...

    • FYI - the black banner is a background image.
      Try changing the following in your style2.css file
       
      .rokstories-layout4 .feature-block .desc-container .description {
      padding-right:10px;
      }
       
      to
       
      .rokstories-layout4 .feature-block .desc-container .description {
      padding-right:80px;
      }
       
      and
       
      .rokstories-layout4 .feature-block .feature-numbers {
      padding:2px 0;
      }
       
      to
       
      .rokstories-layout4 .feature-block .feature-numbers {
      padding:2px 10px 2px 0;
      }
       
      That should fix your wagon.

    • One thing I would really like to be able to do is add a link to More News (linking to the Latest News page) at the bottom of the Top Headlines component, right column.

      Numbering sort of helped here, but the numbers got cut in half in IE 7 so I decided to turn that off. (The same happens on the 'Connect through Facebook' logo on the Insider Connections page now).

      My last problem that is driving me mad is that on these pages - insideremirates.com/radar/event-listing/...opping-festival-2010 the left hand column is ignoring the template for the left hand margin width, so the menu is not displaying. Works fine in Firefox, but not in IE. I am guessing a CSS issue, but I am a newbie, so it's going above my head.

      If anyone has any ideas, would love to hear them... Apologies for this - I know it is not quite the right forum... And thanks again Kevin.

      Nicely done! Do you mind... what RT theme is your mod? Thanks!

    • It is the Iridium theme, Style 2 (pretty sure) - simple version.

      I have used so far: JomSocial, Alphacontent (for the list pages), mini front page (to create the thumbnail sections on the homepage - fiddly), JReviews with GeoMaps (maps is really, really cool); EventList (very cool, causing me problems in IE, though), JomComments and have just started with Joomphotos (which seems to be awesome).

      Still lots of work to do - not least writing the stuff that fills the holes.

      David, you've used this theme as well as any I've seen. Thank you for sharing your add-ons! Ah yes, content, content. The never-ending task begins. :-)
