Running 1.7, and I cannot eliminate a white space on the front page of the template. I have gone into Template Manager and tried every option to edit out the problem area.

The white space appears above “bottom.breadcrums”, and I have attached an image that shows where it is located on my front page.

Will appreciate any help!

Might you be able to provide the url to the site you’re working on?

Also, please set “Optimize CSS” to “No” within your Template Manager–>General Settings

Thanks!

The URL is http://pbizr.org

Also, I have changed the CSS setting as directed, but nothing changed.

Can you post the link to the specific page that is giving you the issue?

It wouldn’t necessarily change things … it’s merely to allow us to better identify, more specifically, the relevant CSS items related to the issue we’re looking at.

It’s the home page. About 3/4 down…directly above “You are Here”.

If I’m understanding your issue correctly, that little white space is actually a border . . .

Open your template.css file (path is /templates/ja_community_plus/css/template.css) and at line 617 you will see the following:

/* Breadcrumbs —*/
#ja-navhelper .main {
text-transform: uppercase;
border-top: 1px solid #ccc;
border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
}

[FONT=arial]
Remove/Modify the “border” parameter(s) as you wish.

Does this address the issue?

Thanks, but, no, that did not solve the problem.

Can you look at code for the format I am using? There must be a missing or misplaced tag. You can check it against the home page at http://pbizr.org. The problem area is the white block just above “You are Here”.

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<layout name=”desktop”>
<!–Extra css load for this layout–>
<stylesheets>
</stylesheets>
<blocks name=”top” style=”xhtml”>
<block name=”absolute” type=”modules” style=”raw”>absolute</block>
<block name=”top-panel” type=”modules” style=”raw” main-inner=”1″>top-panel</block>
<block name=”header” type=”header” main-inner=”1″></block>
<block name=”mainnav” type=”mainnav” main-inner=”1″></block>
<block name=”cpanel” type=”usertools/cpanel”></block>
<block name=”slideshow” type=”modules” style=”raw”>slideshow</block>
<block name=”sl-gallery” type=”modules” style=”raw”>sl-gallery</block>

<block name=”video” type=”modules” main-inner=”1″ style=”raw”>video</block></blocks><blocks name=”middle” colwidth=”21.5″>
<block name=”right-mass-top”>right-mass-top</block>
<block name=”content-top”>content-top</block>
<block name=”content-bottom”>content-bot</block>
<block name=”right1″ style=”jarounded”>left</block>
<block name=”right2″>right</block>
</blocks>

<blocks name=”bottom” style=”xhtml”>
<block name=”breadcrums” type=”navhelper” main-inner=”1″></block>
<block name=”content-bot1″ type=”modules”>user7</block>
<block name=”content-bot2″ type=”modules” style=”raw”>user8</block>
<block name=”botsl” type=”spotlight” special=”left” specialwidth=”54″ main-inner=”1″>user9,user10,user11</block>
<block name=”footer” type=”footer” main-inner=”1″></block>
</blocks>
</layout>

NOTE: I HAVE NOW TRIED TO OVERSOME THE PROBLEM ANOTHER WAY, AS YOU WILL SEE WHEN YOU LOOK AT MY HOME PAGE: I HAVE ADDED A MODULE IN THE SPACE, BUT IT STILL HAS TOO MUCH PADDING.
ANY HELP WITH THAT WILL BE APPRECIATED. THANKS!

Open your template.css file (path is /templates/ja_community_plus/css/template.css)

at line 519 you should see the following:


#ja-mainbody { padding-top: 20px ; }


Reduce (or eliminate) the padding parameter until you achieve the result you want.

Does this address the issue?
