As i specified the text i wrote into the front page (in article watching television) is not aligning to the left in ja new frontpage.

the site is — reporter.elanguest.com.

They actual alignment in the article is fine but when it goes to the frontpage the alignment is off.
What happened?

Hi bookpeg

I took a look at your code and it appears you have ‘blockquote’ applied to the first para:

<blockquote style="line-height: 19px">
<span class="open">
<font face="Arial">
Do I like TV? - Yes of course I do! After all I am a single person!

I suspect this is causing the indent problem.

Can’t help with the AllVideos problem I’m afraid, I’ve never used it!

yes questbg is right. it is due to the blockquote you have use resulting in padding being used on the left side.

if you wish to remove it:

edit ./templates/ja_teline_ii/css/typo.css

blockquote {
padding:1em 40px 1em 15px;
}

to

blockquote {
padding:1em 0px 1em 15px;
}


pls note that this will affect all text using blockquote in your template.

**** this is not what i needed to happen. Is there a way to do this without altering the script…
Its no prefreble to apply that setting to all text using blockquote. Perhaps i should just undo the actual article and see where and how i got this to happen. I would like to mess with the script as little as possible.

I must of done something wrong

Hi bookpeg

You can always leave the blockquote scripts as they are and just remove the ‘blockquote’ tags from this article.

Open the article, click the HTML tab and check in the code for any ‘blockquote’ references and remove them!

This means you can still use it when you need to, but preferably not in the intro paragraph as it will cause the misalignment you currently have.

Good luck!
Chris

Thanks chris but i’m trying to figure out why this would have happened is it a bug that i can fix –yer sorry for this stuff i just wonder why it happend in the first.

Can i arrange it so i know how to not do the same thing next time basically hate having to go in the script – css etc… :SSSS

(later edit below–V)

Plus what if i change article …. the person who will be taking over from me ( hopefully ) when the site is done i dont think will know howto script – basically like me, thats why i make the ideal guinea pig if i can do it they can.

So i haveto figure out the root cause and correct so i know what to tell anyone…:SSSSSSSSS

It may just have happened that you used one of the articles that was part of the demo Quickstart data and it just happened to have the blockquote in.

If you create new articles, you shouldn’t ever come across the problem, so no need to edit the files!

its not a bug, when u use <blockquote> the text will be shifted to the right a lil no matter where you put the blockquote in.

jsliao is spot on, it’s just the way it works. If you want to avoid the bad alignment that you currently have on the front page, just don’t use it in the first paragraph!

Absolutely. Unpublish the article with the blockquote, and put a new one in its place.

If you ever do want to use blockquote, try not to use it in the first paragraph of your article as this will result in the tiny indent that you currently have. Use them further on in the article and all will look fine!
