RSS - 6 line troubles

[Barbaros]

Hi, I am build a custom skin and am using some rss code from Yogimans skin. The code expands the rss area, making it easier to read and adds 6 lines of RSS titles instead of 3.
The problem is that if you tap the title to open the description page, only 3 lines of text for the description are displayed. I'd rather it take advantage of the new extra area and display some more lines of the description. I just can't figure out how TodayPlus is setting the description cache length.
I hope Yogiman, MadTxn or some other experienced rsser can come to my rescue because I am lost and I can't release a skin that doesn't work . I have attached a picture to help explain, it shows the empty area above the battery info.

barbaros,

   This is wher you set the hight of description, make it the same hight as region:


 

Code Select Expand

RSS,description,55,62,160,210,%var4%,     ,,var20

The 210 is the hight for my description, there should be two of them.

 Also when you do realese you'r skin don't forget to mention who you borrowed parts of the skin from, got to give credit.

///////////////////////////////////////////

If there's a bit or two missing, it's prolly been lost while I hacked out the tabulation. I wanted to make it easier for you to read though.
These are the line I changed where {} describes the changes:
RSS,description,5,12,230,{from 80 to 160},%var4%,     ,,var20
RSS,description,5,%var20%,230,{from 80 to 160},%var4%,     ,,

After clearing the buffer and reloading the plugin, my screen still looks the same above, still only 3 lines of the description are cached. Can you think of anything else I might need to change along with the description box height?

PS Thanks for you help and your contributions to the community, LordTwisted. Without you, my skin wouldn't have existed. JK, I plan to wholly acknowledge all those I used code from.

Cheers

PPS Ya, I just noticed the forum takes out the whitespace for me.

[Yogiman]

Are you sure there is more text in the rss description ? I looks like there is no more text. The code i use uses the whole rss area to show the text.

Could you post or pm me you skin i'll see if i can find the mistake.

Barbaros,

  Did you get it worked out yet?
