Looking for a way to have articles listed with bullets

posts: 210

Hi,

In the main window the articles plugin gives me everything I need, but I want to have a second articles list in right-hand module zone that contains only older articles. Selection was easy, and with "titleonly" I get a space-saving listing. But some titles create two lines, and that makes it a bit harder to identify single entries, which is why I would like to have the output of articles with bullets. What would be the easiest way to achieve this? Yes, I could introduce a new style in the CSS, but there must be something easier...

Thanks

I found the solution by myself. Once again, CSS is the key.

I had to accomplish two things. I had just switched my main font, and needed to have the modules not inherit the font from body or html (done in the first paragraph) then I had to make the output of the article plugin as a list element, second paragraph. This almost does what I want.

Copy to clipboard
div.wikiplugin_articles { font-family: "Liberation Sans", "Helvetica neue", "Helvetica Neue", "Helvetica", Helvetica, "Helsinki", "Lucida Grande", Arial, sans-serif; } div.articletitle, span.newsitem { font-family: "Liberation Sans", "Helvetica neue", "Helvetica Neue", "Helvetica", Helvetica, "Helsinki", "Lucida Grande", Arial, sans-serif; display: list-item; list-style-type: '- '; list-style-position: outside; }


For the "almost" part I need some input. The bullets do appear as desired, but below each element output by the articles plugin now there is whitespace that has not been there before, when the bullets weren't there. And the whitespace is not in this CSS definition, so it could be inherited from someplace else.

Any ideas?

Thanks
