Different modules in Old Version of NewsMag or Custom Code?

I stumbled upon another site recently that uses Newsmag and I really liked one of the module they were using because of it’s responsiveness on mobile devices.

If you go to http://sneakerbardetroit.com/, you will notice posts displayed in Block 11 / Module 10:

On Web

When you go mobile, you end up with the block looking like this:

On Mobile Devices

Unfortunately, when I use the same block and module for my homepage, my articles look like this on mobile:

Mobile Experience

And it creates a LOT of scrolling for users when browsing.

Now my question is, how can I achieve the same results? I noticed I’m on Newsmag 1.7 vs the other site who’s on Newsmap 1.5.

Hi,

You will need custom modification as you can see on that site is used module 10 but the image size is changed – http://screencast.com/t/6p4GJp6d7f also on mobile the excerpt is hidden and is used an extra class(id) for css customization: http://screencast.com/t/tbYT5JXpXIHhttp://screencast.com/t/pQe1cG0gLg

Thanks for the reply. I had a gut feeling it was custom. Just wanted to make sure.

Maybe you could try coming up with your own style instead of just copying ours.

Need smaller thumbnails to save bandwidth, improve performance and loading speed.
No disrespect to you guys. Good luck with your endeavors.

I don’t mind helping you guys achieve the same results if we can find a slightly different way of doing it. You can email me alin@sneakerbardetroit.com if you wanna discuss further.
