Cover images too long for article templates
Friday, September 12th, 2008I had these nice long strips of image I used for the manual “Excerpt” of the Caricature section.
They were the same width as the header of the section on the home page, so they added a nice bit of design to the whole thing. Trouble is, this theme also uses the Excerpt in the article template by default and the image overlaps the content. From what I’ve read so far, if you leave in images in the Content the default theme would take the first 55 characters for the excerpt by strip out all images for you. Here’s examples of the type of images I’m talking about:


My next task is to learn a little php and see if I can figure out how to use those cover images, but have them hidden in the articles pages.
