Is there a way to get the article text to flow around an image in the way you see it here:
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601103&sid=aslvVeBAyehQ
I actually looked at the style sheets and HTML in the above URL and tried to imitate them within the scope the news article templates without success.
I am trying to edit view.item.html in the template editor along with style changes with no success.
Any ideas?

| Shouldn't this just be a modification of the template with the alignment attribute set on the image tag? |

Scott, I have this trouble too. You can set the alignment but the text will not wrap.
I use all div tags for the templates and no tables. My guess is there is a way to do this with css but I can't quite get it to work.
I'll send you a template if you want to mess with it. I would love to get this working. |

Scott,
Thanks your reply.
That is exactly what I thought but you get a variety of results depending on how you do it. Its possibly quite simple. I've tried about 6 variations of things including styles, divs, spans and whatever.
Remember, that I don't have direct access to the image tag because it all gets taken care of by token replacement... Unless there is something I don't understand.

| Isn't there an [IMAGELINK] tag so you can form your own tag? |

Hi folks,
i think i did what you want on my private site: www.wolfsbau.de
See the latest news module on the home page.
Here's what i did:
In the view settings of the latest news module, i applied a css class "HomepageNewsFeatured" to the parent element, containing the news teaser and the image. In my case this is a table cell tag.
Then i defined the css-properties of the img tag within this td-tag in the Portal stylesheet:
td.HomepageNewsFeatured img {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}
Hope this helps,
Joe

That's great! I'll give that a shot. I am trying to do it when on the part where one actually views the article so i hope there isn't some subtle issue when I try your solution. That said, your layout gives me great ideas on how to improve mine. It's quite good.
Thanks!

Hi JoeYaya,
Another interesting thing you can do with the templates is embed Google Adsense and Clickbank ads by working with div tags in the View.Item.html file.
