Hey Paul,

Not at all. I will use Chrome for my work on that side. To be honest it does not happen when I use Windows 8 and Firefox. It only happens on my old laptop (which still runs w/ XP).


Dear Paul, i have a few tiny thinks which I would like to solve on Sunday to have a smiley start on Monday. Maybe you can help (no problem if your reply takes time).

1. Contact us does not work. After click on "SEND" it shows a white page.

1.1 Your template preview of NEW LIFESTYLES shows a menu with Blog, Contact Us, My Account etc. on the very top and above the main menu. Which module position is this?

2. Any chance to minimize font size of sub-menu (-> SHOWS 2010 -> SHOW 01 etc.)?

3. Your template preview of NEW LIFESTYLES shows a big image gallery on its HOME. Which module is it?

4. Your template preview of NEW LIFESTYLES shows a very nice "Keep up to date" module. Is it a module? Which one is it?

5. Last... where can I delete this sentence next to the facebook icon in my K2 item? I know where to show/hide fb icon but I can't see any settings re this sentence "Sign Up to see what your friends like.".

:-) Send me a donation button.
Speak soon and many many thanks.
Chris

www.novel.jesterwild.com (so I remember the site url) :)

1. The menu module is published to the top4 position

2. #navwrap ul.nav li ul a {font-size: .85em} - the current is 1em so anything smaller than that will reduce the font size

3. Do you mean latest or the slideshow?

4. The position is bottom-extra - its a custom module with an empty input box

5. Its one of the k2 settings - so it would be the category of the content or if you are inheriting it will be the top parent category

We don't have a donation button :)
A review of zentools is always appreciated

Cheers

Hello Paul. There is no POSITION called TOP4. Where does this POSITION come from? Another template? The only position w/ "T" is tabs nothing else. :(

Best

I have changed item.php and it works now. Thanks for your impulse.

Can you check here novel.jesterwild.com/index.php/shows/shows-2010/show-09-dynamic-don and click "Recommend" and tell me please why there is shown a text field (you must be logged in on fb) which is cutted/not shown completely. Is it a CSS thing? How can I fix it?

Cheers

Ah

Firstly

I would suggest not changing the item.php and look for the social setting in the category option tabs instead

I would test these values extensively to see how it works

As with the !important we are overriding some facebook code and in the other its quite a general style

.fb_iframe_widget_lift {
z-index: 1000 !important;
}

#zenkit .socialSharing {
overflow: visible;
}

As before the css will need to be added to the custom.css file

I did. I've had a look in a very concentrated way, Paul. Nothing worked and a short look on some forums explained it.

I've only changed this line <div class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-width="160" data-layout="button_count" data-action="recommend" data-show-faces="false"></div> and because of set to data-layout="button_count" it hides "Be the first of your friends to like this.​" Annoying little devils but I can't sleep with these issues on my mind. lol

Right - sounds like you know what you are doing :)

You would need to edit that again I think when you update k2

Any changes to css MUST be made to the custom.css file otherwise when you re-compile the template or update changes made to template.css or any other css file will be lost

So add his to the custom.css file
#navwrap ul.nav li ul a {font-size: .85em}

Any style that is exactly the same in the custom.css file will see the custom style override the template style as it occurs later down the file list (or stack in technical terms)

e.g. #navwrap ul.nav li ul {font-size: 1em} in template.css
will be overidden by
#navwrap ul.nav li ul {font-size: 85em}

For more info see this article

and point 8.

"When selectors have an equal specificity value, the latest rule is the one that counts."

:woohoo: Magic, Paul! Is it possible to change settings and receive a pop-up? Have a look here novel.jesterwild.com/index.php/shows/shows-2010/show-04-screamin-jordan-2 I have added a fb button and this player plugin uses a nice pop-up window.

I'm not sure on this - I don't think so
I think you would need to look for an extension to do that

Re custom.css I can only say: I SEE, UNDERSTAND and GOT IT. Alright... woohoo... three days now and my head is becoming bigger.

All changes in the custom.css !

Is there a documatation about used css code plus explanation (like you did it w/ module positions for exaample) your NEW LIFESTYLE template uses?

Cheers
