After a bit of testing I think this is a bug in Antares
If you have a layout of 2 module spotlights and have screen width set to auto then the two modules can end up below each other

To test this I went to http://www.joomlart.com/templates_demo.php and set up the above conditions. Using IE7 as you change browser window size the two panels flip between side by side and next to each other

Hi Chris now do the same test in same rez/browser with width of template set to wide and see what happens, from memory ‘auto is set to 98% of max width not 100 %

Hi ShannonN
I have tested 2 modules option in IE7 and Firefox 2 and get the following results

Firefox
Works fine in Narrow, Wide and Auto

IE7
Works fine in Narrow and Wide
Sometimes get them below each other when using Auto, this depends on the browser window size

cheers
Chris

Hi Chris
this is the biggest problem the range of browser windows sizes, you may just have to put a disclaimer that they work in all major browsers at the recommended 1024 768 or 1280 x 768 or whatever the relevant size is, its so difficult to have a fluid site that covers the real wide and 16:9 type widescreen that some laptops have as native resolutions

sorry i can’t be of much help with a solution to this

Cheers ShannonN

Well
I have just changed the html for this template and it now works
the change was
if ( $topmodule == 3 ) {
$divtopwidth = ‘33.3%’;
} else if ($topmodule == 2) {
$divtopwidth = ‘49.9%’; ****************** Instead of 50%
} else if ($topmodule == 1) {
$divtopwidth = ‘100%’;
}

Is that a solution?

Sounds good to me, if that top module 2 was causing the breakout, I’d still look at forcing the template into wide @100 % rather than auto @ 98 % that way you control the size to match these changes?
