Newsfeed Wrap with CSS

[schlittrix]

Hey,
I’ve got a problem with the newsfeed-module.
It works fine except the width, its too wide, so the text overwrites other modules. (newsfeed is centered).
So .wrap doesn’t work.
I tried it with CSS to fix the width, but than the “wrapped” text is still on the left side and not centered.
Is there a possibility to center the “wrapped” text in the CSS-File or is there another option for me?

From stackoverflow. I have not tested it.

This should center the wrapped text as well. In custom.css file, add :

text-align: center;

@mykle1
Thank you. I tried this css-setup. The lengh is fine, but the center-function doesn’t work.

newsfeed-desc { width: 700px; }
text-align: center;

@schlittrix the text align has to be inside the bracesof the newsfeed class

@sdetweil ouh. I’m a beginner :D
so this way?

newsfeed-desc { width: 700px; text-align: center; }

[sdetweil]

@schlittrix yes

u can specify lots of style elements in a single class like that

for readability you should put the contents on separate lines inside the braces
like this

newsfeed-desc { 
     width: 700px; 
     text-align: center; 
}

so i tried this step without success…
When I just have the “width”-line, the text is wrapped, but not centered.
But when I put in these code with text-align, nothing happend and the text is no more wrapped…

any ideas? :(

@schlittrix

try this

newsfeed-desc { 
    width: 700px;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
}

Don’t know, maybe I’m stupid…
but it still doesn’t work…
this is my config-setup:

 {
                        module: "newsfeed",
                        position: "bottom_bar",
                        config: {
                                feeds: [
                                        {
                                                title: "Tagesschau",
                                                url: "https://www.tagesschau.de/xml/rss2/"
                                        }
                                ],
                                showSourceTitle: true,
                                showPublishDate: true,
                                broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
                                broadcastNewsUpdates: true,
                                showDescription: true,
                                wrapDescription: true
                        }
                },

and this is the css-file:

newsfeed-desc {
    width: 500px;
    display: flex;
    justify-content: center;
}

@schlittrix i don’t KNOW exactly how to make it work… I;m guessing as I haven’t played with this at all… SO… its quite possible it wouldn’t work…

i’ll try to get to this a little later today

so this works

.newsfeed-desc {
    width: 500px;
    position: absolute;
    left: 37%;
    text-align: center;
}

use this algorithm to calc the left edge
(((yy-xx)/2)/yy)*100
where xx is the width of your news area
and yy is the width of your screen

also, notice the leading dot (.) on the class name, this is required

one other thing… the align: center, aligns EVER line centered… so the 1st line won’t fill to the width …

@schlittrix thank you for posting this, I was testing on the next release, and there was a new bug in newsreader that I was able to submit fix for…
