Hi! I'd like to apply a border on 'Most popular' zone.
When I go to iJoomla News Portal/Settings/Zones/General, and set the Border, it is being applied to every individual bulleted news within the 'Most popular' zone, but not as a border for the whole zone.
I just checked and this is the case for all other zones ('Top stories', 'More news'...).
This is really confusing: General zone setting should apply to the *zone*, not to the individual message within the zone.
Is there a way to set the border of the *zone*?
Thanks!

all you have to do is change the margin to zero in the general tab.

Try with this:

Code:

<table style="border-collapse: separate;" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr valign="top"><td colspan="2">{module_position2}</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan="2">{date_time} </td></tr><tr valign="top"><td width="48%">
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"><tbody><tr><td>{top} </td></tr><tr><td height="20"> </td></tr><tr><td> {more news}</td></tr><tr><td>{module_position1}</td></tr></tbody></table><br />
<br />
</td><td width="52%"> {leading} <div style="border:1px solid #a0a0a0;">{most popular}</div><br />
<br />
</td></tr><tr valign="top"><td colspan="2">{module_position3}{featured sections} </td></tr></tbody></table>

Best regards,

Hi!
Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried 'smoothdude11' method:

all you have to do is change the margin to zero in the general tab.

but all I got was the borders of every individual topic within zone, not the whole zone border.
So instead I modified 'RicardoCorai' method, and in effect I got the border of the zone. I have now:

Code:

<table border="0" cellspacing="5" cellpadding="0" width="633" height="207" style="border-collapse: separate">
<tbody> <tr><td colspan="2">{date_time}<br />{top}</td></tr>
<tr valign="top"><td width="48%">{leading}<br />{module_position2}<br /></td><td width="52%" align="left">{more news}<br />
<table border="1" cellspacing="10" cellpadding="10" style="border-collapse: collapse" bordercolor="#cccccc"><tbody>
<tr valign="top"><td> {most popular}<br /><br /> </td></tr></tbody></table> </td></tr>
<tr valign="top"> <td colspan="2">{module_position3} </td> </tr>
<tr><td colspan="2"> </td></tr>
<tr valign="top"> <td colspan="2">{featured categories}</td> </tr>
<tr><td colspan="2"> </td></tr></tbody></table>

Thanks!

You have to turn off the border if you use my method. The other way is better if you want a border. Just change the background color and turn off the border. However, did you want to keep the border?

I'd prefer to have a border around the whole Zone, including the Zone's Name, so I use a code in a template.
Your method is fine for highlighting the text within the Zone.
Thanks for the hint which might work in some other projects!
