jTweet in Fold

zentoolsIf you use Zentools please post a review at the Joomla! Extensions Directory.

Did somebody manage to use JTweet into Fold Template, eg in Userx position ?

Because I did not, I would appreciate some tips if there are any.

Thanks

Hi Guy,

Got a link to see what happened?

Did you install and publish the JB LIbrary plugin?

Hi Anthony,

Yes, JB Library is published.

In order you can see what happen, I sent my work on line though it's just a work in progress as you will see.

The link : www.1h38.com

Problem are Jtweet does not display correctly (not to bad, tant pis for the bird) and almost invade the fold.

Thank you for your help.

Hey Guy,

Thats a strange z-index issue. Can you create a ticket and we will look into it for you.

Hey Guy,

A couple of changes you can make that will fix this.

In the template_css.css file for the fold template,
line 147 has

#pleah div {
background:url("../images/gradhient_silver.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #F9F9F9;
height:400px;
position:absolute;
width:480px;
}

Change the selector to

#pleah div.acContent {
background:url("../images/gradhient_silver.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #F9F9F9;
height:400px;
position:absolute;
width:480px;
}

And then you can change another bit of CSS in line 8 of
/modules/mod_jTweet/css/jTweet.css

.jTweet {
clear:both;
position:relative;
z-index:1;
}

Remove the highlighted z-index style.

Let us know how that works.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hello Jason,

I changed as you said.

It seems that jTweet has now a good display but a big mess appears all over the fold.

As you can see ; www.1h38.com

I made the changes twice :
- on localhost
- in line

Of course the same observation, with an extra fix on line : user have to click to turn the fold pages ...

I do not want you to waste your time, maybe it is not worth fitting an old and specific template as fold with a recent plugin like jtwwet.

In any case, thank you for your help and your work.

Best regards,

Guy

Hi Jason,

Just a precision : at the end of my last message I said that one is obliged to click to fold and unfold the accordion.

(and not on the fold template I have with localhost).

It is obviously normal, I just forgot I had not the same template parameters "mouse behavior" between the two installations !

Now, they move both with mouse enter !

Sorry for introducing such a confusion in my post :-)

Cheers

Hey Guy,

No worries, no confusion at all :)

You can add the following style to the template_css.css file (in addition to the existing styles)
#pleah div{
height:400px;
width:480px;
}

Save and let me know if that fixes it for you. In my tests locally it seems to work fine.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hi Jason,

Things are going better as you can see (www.1h38.com).

But locally and in line as well, two fixes :

- jtweet does no longer dispaly the tweets
- there is some transparency at the right border of the folds (user can see the left side of the logo image, normally hidden).

For now, I'm going to check if I correctly applied your bits of code.

Then, if the fixes are always there, if you agree, I will recontact you.

Un grand merci en attendant la suite,

Cheers,

Guy

You're welcome Guy :)

I certainly see the issue and we can improve on the last change we made to the template.

You can change that to be
#pleah div.padding{
height:400px;
width:480px;
}

We might need to tweak some more but that will be a lot better now.

Cheers,
Jason.

Hi Jason

Perfection is not too far, now !

Just the transparency question to remain. I'd be glad if you have time to solve. I can tell you it is not for me an emergency case (I have to fill the folds first www.joomlabamboo.com/components/com_kunena/template/default_ex/images/english/emoticons/smile.png).

And as I am a very bad css player I cannot do anything to help ...

Cheers

Hey Guy,

This one might just about do it.

To the last code we added to the css, add a background like this
#pleah div.padding{
background:url("../images/gradhient_silver.png") repeat-x scroll 0 0 #F9F9F9;
height:400px;
width:480px;
}

Let me know :)

Cheers,
Jason.
