Topic: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

Hello everyone.

I am currently working on my first PunBB style, for a request and from the start, I decided it will be fixed to 820px to make it fit with the layout I made with GIMP.

As I am testing the CSS modifications, I noticed that the title textbox we have when we start a new topic is very long (size="80") and so, when a fixed width is used, one part of this textbox gets outside the page layout (not sure of the exact English word for this - I'm a frenchie).

Are there any other style maker who made at least one style with a fixed width ?  If yes, have you encountered this issue ?

And do you think the title textbox should be shortened by default (from size="80" to size="50") for smaller widths ?

Here is a screenshot to show what I mean :

Thanks in advance.

Ubuntu! big_smile Anyways, use "width:95%" on it.

Also, you should decrease the left padding on the sets:

.brd .sf-set, .brd .mf-set, .brd .txt-set {
    margin: 1.417em;
    padding: 0 0 0 15em;
    position: relative;
    }

Re: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

width: 95% doesn't make any difference, and the padding modification isn't enough.

For now, I don't have any online testboard, I'm waiting until I finished most of the modifications before I set up my testboard on my FTP account.

And now I have another problem : I just can't seem to be able to set up a background image in the main-menu block in the profile page and the admin page.

i-tchat_cs.css

.brd .main-menu, .brd .admin-menu {
    background-color: #;
    color: #fff;
    }

i-tchat.css

.brd .main-menu, .brd .admin-menu {
    border: 0;
    padding: 0.4em 0 0.2em 0.75em;
    background-image: url(profile-admin-menu.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    }

I double-checked the filename and the CHMOD and everything is OK.

I can always make a ZIP file and upload it.

(By the way, was this the right section for style support ?)

Re: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

you should try this

#fld1 {
background-color:none;
width:50px;
}

paste into your whateverskin.css

I guess...

.brd .text input {width: 95%}

Works for me.

Try setting the background from the _cs file.

It worked from the _cs file.  But it's weird that for all my other backgrounds, it worked even if I set them in the other file.

Thanks anyway for the help, it's much appreciated. smile

Some news : I'm almost finished (98% of the modifications) and all is left is testing it under IE (IE => reboot under XP) before I deliver the .zip pack to the webmaster who requested the style.

Here a screenshot taken from FF3 : http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/ … review.png

Re: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

I keep him regularly informed by email.  I showed him the page base demo (only outer and inner), then the full demo (with header elements, menu, sample index) before I cut the layout, then the screenshot after the main coding part.  He really likes it smile

Now I'm currently under XP for the tests under IE, but I'm having some trouble with the checkbox positioning on login page.  Under IE7, the text is not well positioned, so the checkbox is under the text and uncheckable.

Here are the screenshots :

Firefox

IE7 (I'm using IE Tab extension)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v381/ … ox_ie7.png


Whatever I try to use relative positioning on the label text or on the checkbox, no change

My tries in _ie7.css :

#brd-login .checkbox label{
    position: relative;
    right: 30px;
}

#brd-login .sf-box .checkbox label{
    position: relative;
    right: 30px;
}

#brd-login .checkbox input{
    position: relative;
    left: 30px;
}

#brd-login .sf-box .checkbox input{
    position: relative;
    left: 30px;
}

And others I don't remember.

Thanks in advance.

Re: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

I begin to think there's something wrong in my style PHP file.  I know I changed the filenames when I cloned Oxygen, and I added copyright notice meta tags.

I also have a major issue with the main-head block in viewforum, and whatever change I do, there is no influence.

I will edit my post to send you the zip file.

Re: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

strange. i installed your style on a test board (live) just without any of the graphs... your code is clean in IE7.  the css files + the php - and code works. remember me is always where it should be. so maybe you should check size of your icons etc?

it must be to do with your graphs files ?

login is as it should be?!

Re: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

You have tested it online or on Wampserver ?

Because the board where I'm currently testing is on a local Wampserver host on my Windows side.
Is your IE7 test done with IE Tab or with the old way ?

i've tested your .php and the .css 's on a live board (online)
as i say. your code: not problem FOR LOGIN  but for TOPIC POST yes...


i am using IE7   7.0 with tabs... big_smile
also in FF 3.0.5

the topic is getting pushed down there ! in IE7 ... thats screwing....


.brd .main-head, .brd .main-foot {
    margin-top: 10px;

307 - could that be pushing it down?
my diagnosis : one of your 8(!)x main-head is problem big_smile

as i havent included your graphs maybe thats problem.
but maybe someone has some input on that

i am using IE7   7.0 with tabs...
also in FF 3.0.5    soo..........

When I talk about IE Tab, I talk about the Firefox extension who opens IE inside a tab under Firefox : https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/1419

maybe those images (speech bubbles) are pushing out your rss feed

I'm sure it doesn't come from that.  When I test with a .brd p.options { background: #ff0000; }, the red background reveals that the block containing the rss feed takes the whole width under IE while it takes juste the half under FF.

guess i could see what happens if i upload all those png s aswell...

Yes, it's better to upload them, since I removed the background color where I have set a background image.


<!-- screenshot 1 -->

here see. all good.

Not the same screen resolution as mine... I'm using 1024*768 on both OS (Windows and Linux).  Have you tested with 1024*768 ?

ps: you had some weird css-files in that zip .... but when i take correct ones all is great!
try it live your side on client... ?

These are gedit relics.  Actually, I use Ubuntu Linux as my main OS, and I kept Windows for Web page testing.  Ubuntu's default text editor (gedit) saves a backup file everytime I save my modifications.  I forgot to remove them before compressing.

EDIT

<!-- screenshot 2 -->

That's the problem I talked about.

.brd .main-head, .brd .main-foot {
    margin-top: 10px;

I'll try it.  But I give you a trick to find a block's limits : Set a very bright background color.

Example with p.options :

.brd p.options {
     background: #ff0000;
}

This set a bright red background which will reveal the block's size.

PS : There's a parsing bug with your screenshots URL.  I had to remove the links after I quoted :S  Try it by yourself by quoting your post.

sorry bout the frequent mods of my post. was testing it all the time.

just tried with one resolution.

yeah the 2nd issue you have with topic being pushed down has nothing to do with pngs ....

This doesn't solve the problem.  I commented the code and the main-head is still too high (and so the white text is still not visible).  I have set this margin to add a space above main-head.

As I'm trying to say, the rss feed block causes the problem (try my bright background method), I just can't figure out the code to correct it.

I didn't notice this mistake... Corrected !

Re: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

I just had a flash : I remember I have changed something in .brd a.feed because of the rss icon size.

In the Oxygen style :

.brd a.feed {
    padding-left: 22px;
    background: url(feed-icon.png) center left no-repeat;
    }

In the custom style :

.brd a.feed {
    float: right;
    display: block;
    height: 22px;
    margin-left: 600px;
    background: url(icon-rss.png) center left no-repeat;
    }

I commented the added lines to verify and it solved the problem !  But my RSS icon is back to not being fully displayed :S  Unless I use the inline-block display (which means a CSS hack for Firefox 2 and 1.5) to make the dimensions modifiables without while staying inline, I'll have to make my icon smaller...

i hoped you'd remember big_smile
such things are really hard to catch if haven't changed it yourself.


smaller icon probably not a bad idea ! smile

Re: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

One solved thing.  I will set back the space above main-head blocks.

Now, for the checkbox issue, I compared Oxygen with the custom style, and they both have this problem, so I will report this as a bug.

(seems that playing FF1 on GBA helped out XD)

Re: [01/13/08 - really desperate !] Still issues with my style !

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!! *screams like someones who discovered his friend's corpse*

My IE got downgraded to 6.0 !!!  That's why my modifications in _ie7 didn't work !

And doesn't that beat all ?  All transparent PNGs I see are still transparent, with or without pngfix script !

I still had IE7 last time I booted under XP.  All I know is that I have Multiple IEs, so I can view through different versions, IE6 included, and IE6 was the reason why I installed it in the first place, so I wouldn't have to rely on someone for IE6 testing... Up to now, I could test on both versions !

I think I will post a support request on the forum I co-administer. (not the one in my profile, it's another board)

EDIT : Because of the fact that my IE7 downgraded itself, I've set up a live board with a test account, so I can get help for beta-testing under IE7.

Testboard URL : http://ishimaru-design.servhome.org/tes … /index.php
