If you hate the News section on the header as much as i do, here's a simple solution. Display your latest news on a side PHP block. Like the default news, it will reload different news upon browser reload.
Create a PHP block, add this code. Customize it to your needs and activate.
The CSS. Add this to the index.css of your theme.
.iblock {
font-size: 16px;
background-color: #f9f9f9;
border-left: 8px solid #eb6c6c;
color: #444;
line-height: 1.4em;
padding: 2.8em 1.6em;
margin: 0.1em 0 0.3em 0;
overflow: auto;
}
The markup. Add this to the PHP block.
echo '
<div class="iblock">';
ssi_news();
echo '
</div>';
Remove the News bit from the Index.template.php so it does not show twice. Should look like this in most idesign360 themes.
<div class="news">';
// Show a random news item? (or you could pick one from news_lines...)
if (!empty($settings['enable_news']))
echo '
<p>', $context['random_news_line'], '</p>';
echo '
</div>Demo: On our blog page. :wink:
