Novus Template Display Issue (Resolved)
« on: December 10, 2007, 08:23:58 AM »

 >:(Some component items, such as those for Community Builder (individual profile tabs) and DOCman (category item lists) don't display properly. There's an inordinate amount of white space between the initial element of the component item and the rest of the displayed items (tab area, document list). I've attached a PDF from a screen shot showing this.

I did make changes to the content headings, paragraph, and list elements. None of these should have any causal relationship to the issue here.

This issue seems not to be associated with a particular browser: it occurs for me in both FireFox and IE7.

I used Joomla! 1.0.13 and up-to-date components for the site, located at: http://www.acmetreadway.net/

I appreciate any suggestions and help.

Thanks in advance!

Don

Does not seem to play nice with Virtuemart either...
Massive padding|whitespace or something here and there.
I would show you a pic and a link but it falls under a non-disclosure agreement.....and contains pictures of fabulous half-naked undergarment models  Grin 
(I really hated the gig...really Kiss )




Edit: I think that this problem has something to do with the table-less design.
Found this thread from bentobox and it may have a possible solution/hack/workaround.
I'll give it a shot later......

Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

 :)Thanks! I followed the suggestion below and wrapped the maincontent inside a table: everything works perfectly now, both in IE7 and Firefox.


find:
Code:
<?php mosMainbody(); ?>

and add the following lines:
Code:
<table width=100%> <!-- This table is a hack -->
<tr>
       <td>
  <?php mosMainbody(); ?>
       </td>
</tr>
</table>

There is also another error people seem to not be reporting on this template and another one that is in the club.

I attached an image taken on firefox 2.xx of the templates:

elixer 2.0 and Novus.


White space is shown over content from the right when the browser is resized.

Not seeing this abnormality when I resize mine.......just goofed with it for like 5 minutes, Grin and almost broke out camtasia when I realized how long it had been, but thought that would have been too much.... Roll Eyes

I believe you.

I do question how much of an issue it is however. *most* site browsers are not as sophisticated as you and I, and are not resizing the browser window as much as us power-users.....

I tried that and I still have the same issue however I noticed if you hit refresh then the page fixes itself and it only occurs in the newsflash field.

That error usually occurs when your content is too wide, such as the images. Play around with that content item.
