How to: Change layout?

Hi, I don't know if this is easy .. What I want is really only applicable to the newpaper theme, and I don't have (yet) all the knowledge of how s9y is handling this, but what I would like to see is the following:

Every entry on its own 'newpaper page'. I define a 'newpaper page' as the section that is surrounded by the dropshadow.

This is in contrary to what happens now, where all (standard 15) entries are printed on 'one newpaper page'.

I hope I am clear in what I want to achieve, sorry if I'm not. :)

/Stephan

Yes, that could be achieved with CSS, but it would need some skilled CSS technique, with backdrop images and position shifting. We have quite a lot CSS classes available on the entries page.

I think there are some tutorials available on the web which document how to make dropshadows for CSS code, but currently have no time to look them up for you.

Regards,
Garvin.

Mmm ok, what I will do is take apart the newpaper/layout.php and see how the author (Jannis) created the dropshadow, and alter it to seperate each entry on its own.

I noticed the many CSS encodings in the generated html.
Very nice fundamental coding there :)
