1. When you publish a Module Type of mod_custom to JA Tabs (look at Calendar & Recent News tabs), the text does not wrap properly.

2. When you publish a Module Type of mod_custom to User 5 position, the text does not wrap properly and the Title is at far left of module.

3. I published the module of “Latest Posts” to User 5 and it has the same problems – Title is far left and content has no padding.

See:

This template has a lot of bugs and doesn’t seem like it was tested very thoroughly.

1. Did you copy & paste from another web page? Each sentence is in a DIV and this is why the text is appearing like it is.
<div>Broadcasters are about to switch to transmitting solely
digital signals. Here’s the lowdown.
Prepare for the Switch</div> <div>Prepare for the
Switch</div> <div>Broadcasters are about to

Open the module and remove these div”s and it should be fine.

2. This is a bug alright. JA have set a styling in mass-col (User5) to padding: 0 so that the tabs module displays correctly. This means though, that if you set a normal mod in that position it will have 0 padding. To fix this you can put a new suffix in your CSS and add that suffix to any normal mod you want in user 5. Open template.css and add the following AFTER the other module styling.

/* Mass Suffix */
div.module,
div.module_mass {
background: url(../images/bor_br.gif) no-repeat right bottom !important;
margin-bottom: 10px;
width: 100%;
float: left;
clear: both;
}

div.module_mass div {
background: url(../images/bor_bl.gif) no-repeat left bottom;
margin: 0;
}

div.module_mass div div {
background: url(../images/bor_tr.gif) no-repeat right top;
}

div.module_mass div div div {
background: url(../images/bor_tl.gif) no-repeat left top;
padding: 0 10px 10px;
overflow: hidden;
display: block;
}

div.module_mass div div div div {
background: none;
padding: 0;
display: block;
clear: both;
width: 100%;
}
Now open your modules published to user5 and in the ‘Module Suffix’ box enter _mass and save.

This should sort it out.

Scotty,

Thanks for helping. The first item has the problem not matter if the text is wrapped in divs or not. I first tried it by just adding text in the editor and it had the same problem. I tried wrapping it in divs to have better control. If I force a inline width setting, it will work.

It is a bug in the template I think.

I’ll try your recommendation for 2 but it seems like Joomlart should be fixing this don’t you think?

Thanks again.

My fix for your second problem might help with the first one too. Also…

Open template.css (line 760)
div.module div div div div {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 0;
clear:both;
display:block;
padding:0;
width:100%;
}

…and change to…

div.module div div div div {
background:transparent none repeat scroll 0 0;
clear:both;
display:block;
padding:0;
}

Yes Joomlart should and do fix these problems. They can not check everything before a release and sometimes bugs can show up months after a release.
