New Custodian - How to get the article intro float below the image on frontpage

    On New Custodian Template I want to have the article intro floating under the image if it is longer than then the image height. But unfortunately it's displayed like a block. You can see it here on my test installation : http://vsg-zunizu.cyoncloud.com/

    It's the first story below the top story. In my eyes it's of course standard that the article intro have to float to the left if it increases image height.

    I already tried a lot with CSS classes and so on but was not successful.

    Any suggestions how to solve this ?

    Best regards

    Hi,
    New Custodian uses grid system 1140px which has predefined classes like fourcol, eightcol etc. Top story block is placed inside eightcol container (which is the width of content area; the rest of four goes to sidebar), then further devided in two parts in proportions picture:text 2:1. So, again eightcol container for picutre and fourcol for intro. If you want to get text float around the picutre, get rid if internal division to 8 and 4 and style floating correctly.

    Hello Ljuba,

    you have been right. I managed it with creating a div class "twelvecol" and the other classes only with div.
    Thanks for your help.

    But in the meantime my installation is gone for a absolute weird reason ( error log : File does not exist: /var/lib/newscoop/themes/publication_2/theme_1/_css/ui-lightness/images/ui-bg_highlight-soft_0_ffffff_1x100.png, referer: http://vsg-zunizu.cyoncloud.com/themes/publication_2/theme_1/_css/ui-lightness/jquery-ui.custom.css ).

    The work of one week was destroyed.
    I installed now the third time new and hope everything will go fine. With Newscoop it's a litte bit like a lottery. But this is sure my last try.  Otherwise I switch to Drupal

    Best regards

    Peter
