That's our featured articles widget.
Admin puts in 4 ids in the frontend and the php widget grabs the according preview-picture, subtitle and title and throws them together with some css

There is a text overlap on

Thanks for the bugreport, i'll see what i can do there.

What do you mean with 'remove tags from the preview'? I do not have tags on the preview.

We are removing all html-tags which are present in our preview (expect url). Let's say in the article it could make sense to use font-sizes, smileys, bold text, quotes, line breaks ... in the first 2 sentences - well it doesn't in the preview, so we cut the preview down to plain text.

The link 'Zum Forum' on the preview missed the threadid. http://www.united-forum.de/showthread.php?t=

Thanks, i'll look into that aswell.

Thats very nice. What exactly are you showing? A gallery from a certain user or from a certain category?

Galleries are admin/editor only and work like this:
Create a gallery via jAlbum (a custom plugin creates the index.html we need for prettyphoto)
Upload that gallery (thumb-folder, big-pictures and index.html) to our FTP
Use the gallery bbcode and give the appropriate options. f.e. /gallery="folder=foldername"/
the php behind the bbcode does the rest and generates either the gallery, or gallery as content.

Please expand on this.

Your source code looks much cleaner than default vbCMS pages. More content, less crap. Good for SEO as well.

your second line is what i meant with getting rid of yui.

The yui2 source code just looks awful (yui3 is a lot better). So if you want multiple colums and footers or headers, or some really fancy stuff you end up with tons and tons of code like that:
(that would be one widget block in yui2)

<div class=yui-b>
<div class=yui-gx>
<div class=yui-main>
<div class=yui-b yui-g>
<div class=yui-first>
<ul class="widgetcolumn">
---vb4-stuff---
<li>
<div class=block/widget/article>
... and finally your content
</div>
</li>
</ul>
--end vb4-stuff
</div></div></div></div></div></div>

and you have that for every widgetcolumn. horrible imo.

so we changed it to something like that:
(that would be a full cms grid - slider, articles + sidebar, 3 columns next to each other as footer)

<ul class=uf_slider>
vb4-stuff
</ul>
<div class=uf_main>
  <ul class=uf_articles>
  vb4-stuff
  </ul>
  <ul class=uf_sidebar>
  ...
  </ul>
</div>
<ul class=uf_column>
 ...
</ul>
<ul class=uf_column>
 ...
</ul>
<ul class=uf_column>
 ...
</ul>

And then write some own css to make those new classes the appropriate width and float them to their places. Alot cleaner that way. =)

btw. the flatten-grid function vb4 offers is awesome and if you know what you are doing (css and html wise) it makes not using yui relatively easy.
