Hello — quick question on module positioning with JA Social.

I have a custom HTML module in position = right.
* On the Home page, this module displays below the main content area. (see Image_1)
* On all other pages, this module displays as expected–to the right of the main content. (see Image_2)

The same occurs when other modules are placed in position = right. Any thoughts?

Setup:
* Joomla 1.7.3 fresh install
* JA Social fresh install

Thanks!

Hi

Could you post a link to your page ?

Thanks

Here is the link: EDIT: removed link

On the Home page, the DIV “ja-right” is located inside the DIV “ja-mainbody”.
On other pages, the DIV “ja-right” is located inside the DIV “ja-container” (adjacent to, but not inside, “ja-mainbody”).

Is this expected behavior? I have not manually edited any of the template layouts.

Thanks for your input!

Oh my! Silly me, I didn’t realize that 2.5.0 a Joomla version! :-[

I did a fresh install of 1.7.3 and saw that there was a “2.5.0” upgrade in extensions manager, but I thought that was some internal component… not the actual Joomla instance! I feel very, very silly now.

Thank you, pavit — I will look to roll-back to previous version.

Hi — I have reverted back to Joomla 1.7.3, and this issue continues to persist. Any thoughts?

URL: EDIT: removed link

Setup:
* Joomla 1.7.3 (see attached image_3)
* JA Social 1.2.0
* JA T3 Framework plugin 1.6.0
* JA Typography 1.1.1

EDIT: updated JA T3 framework to 1.6.0, and issue still exists.

Hi

I have changed the category for your home page featured article item, as you can see the layout is showed correctly, so the problem is in your articles Sample Review 1 – 2 – 3 – 4 etc.

Check better settings for the articles, also ( if you have not yet done ) take a look at this guide on Ja_Social dedicated forum.

Regards

Hello pavit and all,

Thank you so much for looking in to the issue. Because of your troubleshooting I was able to identify the proximate cause (listed below). I narrowed this down to content of article, not article settings — I can replicate both the proximate cause and the resolution steps.

Summary: When a readmore HR element is encapsulated in DIVs, the home page layout breaks from the template.

Issue is due to the Read More HR element in featured articles:
<hr id="system-readmore" />

When this element is inside a DIV, then the template layout breaks on the features items listing.

Incorrect code (causes error):

<div>
...
<hr id="system-readmore" />
...
</div>

When this element is not inside any single DIV in the article HTML, then there is no issue

Correct code (no errors):

...
<div>...</div>
...
<hr id="system-readmore" />
...
<div>...</div>
....

My solution was to remove these occurrences from the article texts themselves. This resolved the issue.

Thank you again for your help looking into all these potential causes! It was because of your troubleshooting that I was able to narrow down the issue!

I was having the same issue. Even without the readmore button I was still getting the module error. I’ve found I need to wrap all my articles and K2 items with div and a closing div. I am on J! 1.5.25

Thanks Matt — I’m finding this same symptom with other use cases of the JA_Social template. I’ll have to continue investigating various uses of opening/closing DIV tags.

Other uses researching similar behavior… check out Matt’s threads regarding potentially similar issues with K2: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/jasocial-and-k2-2-5-2-compatible/
