[SOLVED] NewsLine Questions (Pre-Purchase)
 

Weve been planning and working on moving our site to Joomlart Teline, however we came across NewsLine today and have a few questions:

1. What module is being used for Top Headlines in the demo template?
2. What module is being used for the Popular News in the demo template?
3. Do either one or both of the modules pull content from chosen sections or categories?
4. Can an admin limit the number of articles to be shown in the modules?
5. How are images and thumbnails processed? Do the modules auto resize images for thumbnails? Is it mosimage or can a WYSIWYG editor be used?
6. Is the intro text amount selectable by the admin (text prior to \"read more?\"
7. Is the story rotation animation automatic or do users have to click the control buttons to move from story to story?
8. Are there animation options for going from story to story in the modules (slide, fade, whatever)?
9. Can modules be placed in the tabs of News Tabs.

Sorry for all the questions, but Id hate to do all the work to move to Teline (which has a number of limitations) before thoroughly researching another template option. Thanks!

I can simply say YES to all your questions

Top Headlines is My Frontpage SLider
Latest News is News Tab Module

both have huge list of params including resizing of images , controling number of intro text, controling number of links, colors of all links and so on

frontntpage slider has fade,scroll,scrollfade options, you can use either mosimage and your own ,

News Tab has onclik and onmousover option
story rotation is controlled by the ordering, no modules can be placed in Tabs Module nut this is why the template has 2 sliding shelfs

and last , template comes with demo installation for joomla 1.5 and 1.0 and modules for both versions

Totally AWESOME!!

Is the module for Popular News what you referred to as Latest News, or something else? Is there anyway to get screenshots of the backend settings for the modules in question?

Re:NewsLine Questions (Pre-Purchase)
 

Popular News and Watch Video are the sliding shelfs I was referring to. You can place 5 modules in each of them and they adjust the height automatically according to the highest module

The top 2 modules are My Frontpage slider and News Tabs

This is all good news - no pun intended.

Does all the sample content come with the template?

Re:NewsLine Questions (Pre-Purchase)
 

every single word! :) it is replica from our demo site, and installation is like standard joomla, it will take you 2 min to have it up

Re:NewsLine Questions (Pre-Purchase)
 

Great, I just purchased and downloaded the template. Does the package include all the updated modules with bug fixes, etc...?

Re:NewsLine Questions (Pre-Purchase)
 

all bugs are fixed that I know off , if you come up with something we will help you

Re:NewsLine Questions (Pre-Purchase)
 

Anyone as yet got a site up and running with this template I can look at? Interested to see a live site to see how it has adapted!

Re:NewsLine Questions (Pre-Purchase)
 

here one of the customers
http://avilessalud.org/tb/
he is still working on changes ,but demo works fine
also note that modules have been updated , new version are available for download

and if you install News Line J1.5 DEMO you get our demo content

Re:NewsLine Questions (Pre-Purchase)
 

Ive made some slight modifications to the template. Added new module positions to the bottom. Also widen the right side to take a 336px advert and video player. Placed a 768px banner up top, really want to put a horizontal login on there if I can find one for Joomla 1.5. This is just a test site.
But Ill be working on it as if it was real.

Cool site! What video module are you using on urbanpodcast?

Re:NewsLine Questions (Pre-Purchase)
 

Hi Neo,
In the index .php were do you want me to place the code. Do you want me to add it or change it. Show me were. Because I changed it and the layout.css, the only thing that changed was the color. So I changed both files back. I like the look of the gray/white contrast better.
But Ill use what ever works. Heres the link to my earlier post.

Thanks for showing links to active sites! I want the template for a motorbike touring website and I am a bit of a template freak and often sold by flashing and moving things but when I try to implement it to my own site I realise I bought the wrong template! I ought to start up my own template club selling of all my previously purchased ones:lol:

Though with news line I really think it can be implemented well into my new site and prepared to give it a go.

I will let you know the outcome after I have downloaded it and got it up and running
