    • CSS & Layout

    I notice that, even on this website, certain mods produce very ugly results. For instance, the "Last Wiki Comments" run all the way to the very end of the box without wrapping. This looks very unprofessional. I disabled the shoutbox because it just looked too ugly.

    Does anyone have any ideas why the text is not properly wrapping? I'm not familiar with CSS.

    Hi,

    You'll need to look at the CSS module layout for wording along the lines of overflow: hidden.

    the module last_modif_pages uses a maxlen parameter to allow shortng of page names,

    This could be available in other modules, maybe you could investigate and report back

    Hope it helps a little

    Thanks for the reply, Damian. I have a silly question. How can I tell which parameters are available for a given module?

    I've been working with mod-forums_last_topics.tpl. I have to use FTP because I keep getting permission denied errors if I try to save it through the template editor. (I don't know what's wrong; I've changed the permissions, etc. I had a problem with the messaging system and finally had to use a fix from Sourceforge related to smarty.php. It didn't fix this problem, though. The main thing is I can't run that setup.sh script)


    Anyway, here is the cleanest I've been able to make the template:


    oops...I can't post it. Apparently it's wiping out the html, and even with ~ N P ~ it detects and deletes it. SIGGGHH...

    Anyway, I changed "cell spacing=0" to "cell spacing=3"
