Hainns solution will fix the title being too far left but not the body text in the customHTML mod. Here is a more concise solution…
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%;
}div.module_mass h3 {
font-size:100%;
height:30px;
line-height:32px;
margin:0 -10px 5px;
padding:0;
position:relative;
text-indent:10px;
text-transform:uppercase;
}
Now open your modules published to user5 and in the ‘Module Suffix’ box enter _mass and save.This should sort it out.
Also to speed up your site… there are lots of ‘caching’ solution but just enabling the built in cache feature in Joomla should make a big difference to your load time. More info here…
I’ve had a look at your site and it looks very good. Well done!!
I’m seeing a problem with the drop down menus though. Regardless of which module I hover over – the menu is dropping down from the first one. I have no idea how to fix this.
nigelmaine;95660…so perhaps I need to look at an additional plug in or extension.
Often just having a detailed look at the site can help.
When you look at your homepage there are 37 requests to the server totaling 348KB. This is not really a very high load. However… 227KB of this load is made up of just 2 images.
112KB for this one…
and 115KB for this one…
I notice both of these images are .png. PNG is not a good format to save photos or images with a lot of gradients. It is an excellent format for images like logos, borders, and anything with not many colours as it will give ‘lossless’ compression on these but for photos and images like your banner above, it is usually better to use .jpg
Here are the same images as .jpg with slightly better than medium compression…
This one is now just 33KB…
and this one is now 29KB. You may want to crop this a bit to suit your new padding in the USER5 area.
For a very slight loss in quality we are saving 166KB of load and reducing our total from 348KB to 182KB… almost half.
This should make a big difference to load times.
While we’re on this example, but no one has asked this just yet, but has anyone figured out a way to keep the drop down menu from showing the section header beneath it? Perhaps making the drop down menu un-transparent?
See how UNIFIED COMMUNICATIONS, the header for the section beneath shows up under the drop down? Sort of messy looking and actually causes problems trying to click on “Auto Dialers” drop down link. Picture taken from the above example, ignore the red notes.
Thanks,
John
