Square Template by David Cummins and Filter Entries Plugin

Post by iskru »

Hi,

i'd like to try the Filter Filter Entries Plugin along with the Square Template by David

Cummins, which has 2 sidebars on the right.

Unfortunately about 15% of the the plugins width show up in the "inner" sidebar.

This is not only hurting the eye, but is causing some serious issue, when the plugin is

finding 0 or 1 article with a few lines only, because then the plugin cmoves up to the top

and can't be used a second time because the button to trigger a new search is blocked /

hidden under the square grafic.

Any idea how to fix / solve this issue?

Would it maybe be possible to just use a smaller font size for the plugin?
Where would i be able to configure this?

Hi there

I've taken a look at this this morning and nothing I've tried seems to change the size of the table created by the plugin - including altering the code in the plugin.php file.

You could of course set overflow: auto; in the Serendipity_pageFooter class but it's not a very elegant solution. Maybe someone else has an idea

Hi

you would need to edit the style.css file from the templates/square/ directory.

Look for the following code section

Code: Select all

div.serendipity_pageFooter {
     color: #444;
     font-size: 0.8em;
     text-align: center;
     margin-bottom: 30px;
     line-height: normal;
     clear:both; }
and change it to

Code: Select all

div.serendipity_pageFooter {
     overflow: auto;
     color: #444;
     font-size: 0.8em;
     text-align: center;
     margin-bottom: 30px;
     line-height: normal;
     clear:both; }
It's not ideal but it's a solution

Hi!

To ease up template's changing the plugin I've added some unique IDs and classes to the plugin in version 1.4.

Hi!

Filter entries 1.4 plugin was released on 2007-04-27 already, so you should see the update on spartacus.

Best regards,
Garvin

Hi!

netmirror.org's fine. The package_event.xml there (http://netmirror.org/mirror/serendipity ... _event.xml) properly shows the plugin as version 1.4.

check the package_event.xml file in your templates_c/ directory, which filedate does it have? How large is that file? Does it contain a version 1.4 element for the serendipity_event_filter_entries plugin?

Garvin

Hi!

You need to download the file via FTP and look at it with a text editor, not with the browser.

Well, that'S strange.

I downloaded the file and looked for the plugin entry via txt-editor as you suggested: it says version 1.4

When i go to s9y admin surface event-plugins etc it still shows version 1.3
When i choose category new it doesn't show new version (1.4) of the plugin.

So how does that fit?
What i can do about it?
Just install the plug and hope it will be version 1.4?
