Joomla and Agora have both been updated to the latest stable versions. An Agora "recent posts" module has been added which you can see in the left hand column of the website. As an aside, I've also reorganised bits of the Wiki, particularly the top level user pages, in the hope that it'll be easier to navigate. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |

I assume the post/message entry box thing will see the same improvement as previously implemented in due course?

Blast, I checked that because I was wary of losing that particular change. Perhaps I hadn't refreshed the browser completely. Thanks for the link.

If you hover your pointer over the posts the first bit of the post is shown however it is partially hidden by the listings. Is that supposed to happen or should the post be shifted to the right so that it can be read? Just noticed that it works fine on the 'forum' page but not on the 'home' page! Log in to reply |

Looks like a z-order problem. Adding "z-index: 65558" (or anything higher) to the style of the "tool-tip" class fixes it here. (http://www.SimSig.co.uk/components/com_agora/style/Neo/js_css/jpane.css line 83 or thereabouts.) Log in to reply |

No problem - but could I please put in a request for the typing font sized to be increased a bit? Thank You. Any views and / or opinions expressed by myself are from me personally and do not represent those of any company I either work for or am a consultant for. Log in to reply |

Strangely the z-order problem has reappeared. I'll have a look at that along with the font size in the next day or two.

Still seems OK here, perhaps something was caching the old style? Edit - ok, now I see a problem. It works on the forum, but not the main site, which doesn't have the com_agora/style/Neo/js_css/ stylesheets, including the jpane.css file to make the popup tool-tip yellow, etc. Log in to reply |

Geoff The web-site is polishing up very nicely. Firstly, thanks for the additional Login Forms throughout the site. The only technical problem I have found with the latest upload is that the Shout Box will not minimise on the Downloads/Uploads page using some browsers. Using IE8 on XP SP3, the Shout Box minimises on all pages. However, Firefox 3.6.6 on Windows XP SP3 or Ubuntu Linux, and Opera 10.60, Google Chrome 5.0.375.99 and Safari 5.0 on XP all show the same behaviour which is that the Shout Box will minimise on all pages except the Downloads/Uploads page. On other matters and as a personal view, when I am using my steam age laptop (1024 x 768 screen) the Latest Posts banner across the top of the Forum takes up a significant proportion of the real estate and my personal preference was for the box in the left hand sidebar.

Think I preferred the side list where I could ignore it as I prefer to press the 'topic view' button which has a similar effect. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Oddly I can set a redirection page for success but not for failure. postal said: The only technical problem I have found with the latest upload is that the Shout Box will not minimise on the Downloads/Uploads page using some browsers.

I don't understand why it didn't work properly anyway so I wouldn't have known how to fix it! postal said: On other matters and as a personal view, when I am using my steam age laptop (1024 x 768 screen) the Latest Posts banner across the top of the Forum takes up a significant proportion of the real estate and my personal preference was for the box in the left hand sidebar.I've got a bit of a problem here - I do agree with you and Peter but the problem is it is an Agora module, which uses the Agora templates. The Agora templates are only loaded when the forum is displayed. When they're not displayed then there is the z-ordering problem where text gets hidden by the sidebar. I can fix it so that every page on the website loads all the templates - not good design, slower to load, and heavier on bandwidth potentially. Or perhaps better if it's shown in the sidebar only when the forum is displayed (pretty much like the login box was *only* shown on the home page). In fact that sounds the better solution so I'll do that now. SimSig Boss Log in to reply |
