Mallow 1.56, 17-3-5 - Fixed (hopefully) a problem with the serach page for Windows IE where it squashed posts. Changed line 310-311 to this body#home .storycontent, body#archives .storycontent { width: 530px; }
Chris · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote Was that change the only one you made? I just want to make sure that I have the core template optimized to your changes, but I don’t want to over ride many of the changes I’ve done. 
BTW…did I tell you how kick ass your template is!!!???
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote yep, thats the only change
and cheers 
Marc · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote Matt,
Still experiencing the same problem with IE v 6.0.2800.1106 after making your suggested change. After the word “posted” in the second listing everything is confined to a column about 20px wide on the left side of the screen. Can send a screeshot if you like. Thanks for the try - if you have any other thoughts please let me know.
Marc
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote Its a tricky little bugger this IE
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote OK, around line 431 body#home .meta, body#archives .meta {
width:530px;
padding-top: 5px;
}
and then add underneath it (if you like)
body#archives .entry { width:530px; }
Ill upload a new version shortly but hopefully thats it. It seems to be down to the stupid way IE inherits CSS attributes.
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote Anyone who’s too impatient to wait for the updated theme you can of course grab the CSS from here.
Chris · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote You know,
Have you looked at the way IE handles images w/ in posts? I’ve had to remove a bunch because IE wants to stretch the image through the whole page.
Also, IE doesn’t render the buttons correctly (supernav) like FF does. What a pain.
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote I know IE doesnt render the nav buttons properly, and afaik theres no fix. As for the pics, I always make sure mine are the right dimensions, obviously I dont know if thats why it was wrong for you, but my tests have been fine in IE - bearing in mind I cant test _everything_
Chris · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote I know…I’m working on the CSS a little to get all “img” to display a certain way. Firefox will size them appropriately, but IE does not. Very odd. If I find a fix, I’ll post it here.
Are your buttons from a plugin or are they CSS only? That might be another look (for IE) if they are CSS…I hate IE. Seriously…
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 7 months ago Quote Yes, the buttons are CSS. I just ignore IE normally, well on my own site anyway.
Chris · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote Matt,
I’ve fix the “supernav” buttons…they work just fine in IE and in Firefox. Check out my site: The Spiderbox
Just to make sure I’m not crazy, check out the site. Also, I’ve got the site where it validates CSS and XHTML. The CSS out of the box did not validate, but it does now.
I’d post the code here (how I fixed it), but I’m not sure how the comment box does that. I’ve tried on other sites and it never works.
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote Congrats on the nav thing, Mallow css certainly should validate but you may have had an older version where I had used “white” or “black” thinking that was ok.
Try posting the code in ‘code’ tags and see what happens.
Chris · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote Okay…
I changed the Supernavcontainer ID to this:
`#supernavcontainer
{
font-family: “Lucida Grande”, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
float: left;
margin-left: 13px;
margin-top: 123px;
text-align: left;
padding: 3px 8px 2px 8px;
} /* top title nav */’
Basically, changed the “padding”. As well, I changed the “padding (either added or removed)” to this:
`#supernav a {
text-decoration: none;
padding: 3px 8px 5px 8px;
} /* top title tabs */
#supernav a:hover {
text-decoration: none;
padding: 3px 8px 2px 8px;
} /* top title tabs hover */’
Seems to work just fine. Let me know what you think!?
Brendan · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote Tried it here (your suggestion Chris), works well.
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote I suppose Id best have a look at integrating that into Mallow then Chris? Youll get a reference in the changelog like everyone else assuming you dont mind that is.
Chris · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote I don’t mind at all good sir! If it matters (or you want to add it) I’ve also changed your code for the sidebar that allows links to display upon the category in which they are listed. For instance, Mallow right now places all “links” under “Links” regardless of their category. I’ve changed this so that my “CMS Software” links are listed only under that heading.
This may be something I want, rather than something everyone else wants.
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote Cool. I think I need to tweak the code for both the Links *and* the Categories, as the categories dont currently show parent/child relationships properly in Mallow.
Kenny · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote Link buttons issue in IE and Links/Categories in the side bar are a welcome fix. Have you thought of adding the Mallow version in the footer? Like “Design by Matthew - Mallow 1.5.7” Just a thought. Mallow Rocks.
Chris · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote Hey Matt, do you want me to email you the code changes I’ve done, or just post them here?
Matthew · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote Isnt it what youve already posted?
If not, post what it is and Ill integrate it when I get a chance.
Kenny: There’s a commented out version in the header which is there mainly so I know what base someone’s with if Im asked to trouble shoot for them. I dont think theres any need for a version in the footer - cheers though, I do like to rock ^_^
Brendan · Posted 3 years, 6 months ago Quote Rock! \m/ \m/
Sorry - just had to add that.
