Black Smoke Style

[=TQC=Chief]

I have read your edit in posts ... my test board is now

http://www.team-quebec.org

default blacksmoke style

News - Display the number of replies and views: NO
Global Announcements - Display the number of replies and views: NO

[Mike]

As i sayed... looks ok for me in both IE8 and FF.
The problem with the news Block is caused by the small Style. And it has nothing to do with the config. I cant figure out how to fix it.
You can just switch off the compact Style of this two Blocks... (news & announcenents)

I think you dont see what I see IE 8


and got a black line at left side of the portal cross all block

Maybe this can help

[Mike]

I think you dont see what I see IE 8

Youre right... In IE8 it looks good for me, except the news Block...
That's an odd thing.
Did you try to watch the site as a guest?

EDIT: what did you see if you visit my site with IE8? http://area51.mikevil.de/portal.php?style=66
And did you notice the missplaced "search Icon " in the Header? This is also ok for me if i watch your site..
Did you already tryed to clear the IE cache... ?

I found it ...IE8 have a compatibility system view at right of the url bar ... just click on and now its look good..... another Bill Gates problem

Thx for the help ...

P.S. how I adjust the width of the site ?

[Mike]

I found out that the Problem with the news Block is NOT caused by the width of the Style...
But if you want to adjust it, so open common.css and search for:

Code: Select all

#wrap {
	padding: 0 20px;
	min-width: 650px;
	width: 910px;
	margin: 0 auto;
}

simply change the width to 95% or something else and save it

with the news Block, i can give you a workaround to erase the "last post" within the first message (if you want)

I solve a lots of little thing on this style, but in Explorer 7 its look like my pics and the search box in the header is broken.

I think we lost compatibility with Explorer 7 in this style...

Thx!

I'd love a workaround if it wouldn't be too much trouble mike

I know it is not a portal issue but I was also wondering if any of you knew how to stop avatars from overlapping the online image?

[Mike]

The problem apears in both news_compact.html and announcement_compact.html
You can do the following to switch off the "last post" if you set "Display the number of replies and views:" in ACP to NO

open news_compact.html (same with announcement_compact.html) and search the following code:

Code: Select all

<dd class="posts" style="width: 11%">{L_REPLIES}</dd>
		<dd class="views" style="width: 11%">{L_VIEWS}</dd>
	<!-- ENDIF -->
	<dd class="lastpost" style="width: 25%"><span>{L_LAST_POST}</span></dd>

replace it with this:

Code: Select all

<dd class="posts" style="width: 11%">{L_REPLIES}</dd>
		<dd class="views" style="width: 11%">{L_VIEWS}</dd>
	    <dd class="lastpost" style="width: 25%"><span>{L_LAST_POST}</span></dd>
	<!-- ENDIF -->

@jaz: please provide me a link to your portal, so i can have a look at it. (i doestn have such an online image)

[Jaz]

Thanks that worked great Mike!
It's a local install but feel free to take a look(The issue is caused when you use a large avatar).
http://118.210.47.109/Forums/
You could try replacting the issue by allowing avatars on your board and putting a large one as yours(140x140 perhaps).

[Mike]

Ah.,.. ok, i see it.
I dont think that theres a solution for it, since the online image is a backround image. And your Avatar is in the foreground.
Maybe you can ask the Styleautor if he makes a smaller online image or something else...

Hi Mike, the view problem I have concern only the block in the portal ( title not center ), the look of the title is center in the forum page... only my search box is not as is place in the forum and portal vew.

Like I said its look like a Internet explorer 7.0 and lower bug now.

EDIT : dont know how I do that but the Search box is at good place now... maybe cause I remove search button from the righe side of the search area

Really need a tricks to center Title in the block block, its appear only in IE7 or in IE8 compatibility mode





Thx for your help

[=TQC=Chief]

Dont forget me mike

[Mike]

Did you see this in the Board too, or just in our Portal?
The thing is, im very bad in writing IE-hacks...

[=TQC=Chief]

The board/Forum is ok, only in portal view I have this viewing, I think in block_config have a code IE7 dont accept, maybe a open/close argument in the css ? I have try many, many thing but I cant find it

I put a / at the first <li> like this example its look good in IE7 but in Firefox and IE8 its scrap

<!-- DEFINE $LR_BLOCK_H_L = '<ul class="outer-cat"><li class="top-cat"><dl class="cat-container"><dd class="cat-left" style="width: 20px; text-indent:15px;"><ul style="list-style-type:none;"></li><dl><dd>' -->
<!-- DEFINE $LR_BLOCK_H_R = '</dd></dl></li></ul></dd><dd class="cat-text"></dd><dd class="cat-right" style="width: 20px;"></dd></dl></li></ul><div class="panel bg3" style="padding:5px 10px 0;">' -->
<!-- DEFINE $LR_BLOCK_F_L = '' -->
<!-- DEFINE $LR_BLOCK_F_R = '<span class="corners-bottom"><span></span></span></div><br style="clear:both" />' -->

Maybe this can help.
