Miscellaneous Hacks - Resize Images in vBadvanced News Module

This mod will automatically resize images in the vBadvanced News Module to a given maximum width.

Step 1:

Go to adv_portal_newsbits template (under vbAdvanced CMPS templates) and search for:

PHP Code:

$news[message] 


If you can't find that, then search for:

PHP Code:

<blockquote class="postcontent restore">{vb:raw news.message}</blockquote> 


Immediately before whichever of those you find in your template, add:

PHP Code:

<div class="news IMG"> 


Save

---------------------

Step 2:

Go to additional.css template (under CSS templates) and add the following to that template (replace "512" with whatever max width you want):

PHP Code:

.news IMG  
{
         max-width: 512px;
         height: auto;
} 


or for better (but still not perfect) support in Internet Explorer, use this instead:

PHP Code:

.news IMG  
{
         max-width:512px;
  width: expression(this.width > 512 ? 512: true);
         height: auto;
} 


Save


That's it. Worked for me. This mod is unsupported, as I have almost no knowledge about these things. I was able to get it working based on what I found here: http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=40139

The vB3.8 version of this mod is here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=247437

Looks like a great idea but i dont have neither of those codes on my template.

<vb:if condition="!$mod_options['portal_news_legacy']">

El Intocable, in your case I think you'd add it just before

PHP Code:

{vb:raw news.message} 


Blooded, sorry it isn't working for you. Works perfect on my site running vB4.0.5 and vBa CMPS 4.0.1.
