1) Is there a way to wrap the More section list of titles into an unordered list?

It is already wrapped in unordered list right? :

2) I wish the number of days for the Timerange field wa sa free form entry instead a short list of pre specified periods. As an example we have always 365 days (1 year). I am sure other admins could use a more granular entry for this option.

If you want to display more than 6 months then you can choose the 'All Time'. If you want to have 1 year articles period then it is likely your website doesn't get news update often, then All Time option might be the best choice.

Thanks for your help. I do see now that the more links are wrapped with a UL / LI. I just expected them to have a "disc" or "Square" to indicate each new item. I modified the CSS, but it failed to work. I found another work around that I personally am happy, and I wager the client will approve.

I understand about using the "All" Timerange. But, for this particular project that may mean, depending on how many items are shown and the frequency of the alerts, the list could stretch back over a few years - which is not current. I hope down the road you will consider a more flexible entry for the Timerange, as the previous developer of the module using the same name back in 2013 (and prior) certianly had that feature. I can also say that two similar article display modules also have that level of Timerange flexibility.

I appreciate your help - and I am really sold on the custom CSS section for each module, that is very nice. I can see creating multiple instances with difference CSS styling down the road.

Regards,
Wesley

Hi Mediaversal, Glad you managed to solve the css problem ;)

Yes it just a matter of css. You just need to apply the list-style:disc to the ul via css adjustment tab. If it doesn't work simply add more stronger /specific selector.

The previous version of Minifrontpage is indeed using input text/free form for time period. We changed it to dropdown list to make the settings page more intuitive and easy for new user. But it's ok, I will option for adding the custom days in the next update.

Yes exactly. You can even personalize the individual module with different css style for modules those are published in the same page, as we have prepared unique class for every module instance (you will see css class like this : .mfp_mid_xx in the html source)
