[Suggestion] Featured posts add-on, maximum height

[anon666]

Hi, there.
I really like the Featured posts add-on, but I find it takes up too much space. In the options you can choose the maximum number of characters, but in the posts that start with an image or a video, it is shown in full size, occupying a large part of the "Forums" page.

Couldn't you make a modification to the code to specify the maximum height?

Thank you.

You can add this to the andy_featuredposts.less template:

.bbImage {
    max-width: 200px;
}

.bbMediaWrapper, .bbMediaJustifier {
    width: 200px;
}

Is it correct to add "max-height" to".featuredposts-message"?

.featuredposts-message {
    padding: 20px 0px 0px 0px;
    max-height: 300px;
}

}

I would not try to limit the height this way, looks bad when things are cut off that way.

The images still take up a lot of space in height. I've tried that, and it seems to work:

.bbImage {
    display: none;
}

.bbMediaWrapper, .bbMediaJustifier {
    display: none;
}

It has no effect on videos. The html code of the videos, generated by the "s9e media" add-on is:

<span data-s9e-mediaembed="youtube" style="display:inline-block;width:100%;max-width:640px">
....
</span>

style="display:inline-block;width:100%;max-width:640px" has priority over all other css tags

I have chosen to remove these lines from the add-on template "andy_featuredposts":

<div class="featuredposts-message">
    {{ bb_code(snippet($post.message, {$xf.options.featuredPostsLimit}), 'post', $post) }}
</div>

And so nothing of the content of the post is shown (within the default style, in my case 'Shades of Blues')
