1) Any changes I make to Font sizes etc in the modules parameters don't show in the front end.

here's my url: http://christofilistx.com/ the module is called Sherry's Design Insights.

2) Also - in reading other posts reguarding another question I had I noticed that you said:

Character count is the only way to do this. It can't find the end of a word, it needs a specific number to cut off at.
You would need to edit the files in:
templates\simplex\html\mod_s5_spotlight_news

Look for:
echo substr($item->text, 0, $params->get('characters_1_text')) ?>
And just add ... to the end.

I don't quite understand where to add "to the end" can you type out the edited line so I know what it should look like?

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

1. Which specific text are you trying to change?

2. You shouldn't be editing any of the php files. Can you be more specific as to why you are trying to accomplish?

see attached file. I am trying to use the controls built into the back end of your module (sign into back end of my site, go to module manager and into the spotlight module).

I am not editing any php files!  :)

Thanks for your help o this.

Hello,

That is because you are using a template override version of the module, not the default module. You can use css to change the sizes by adding the following to the bottom of template.css:

.s5_sn_1_title, .s5_sn_2_title, .s5_sn_3_title {
font-size:1em !important;
}

.s5_sn_1_title p, .s5_sn_2_title p, .s5_sn_3_title p {
font-size:0.9em !important;
}

That makes so much sense now! The template said it had style for this module and it never occurred to me that that was the issue.

Thanks for your help!!!
