Hi again all,

Our latest site uses:
CMSMS 1.2 and latest versions of:
Cataloger
Content Alias (thx stopsatgreenĀ  ;))
Embedded Google maps
Form Builder

I did try out the Calendar module but I couldn't get it to display many months on a page so I went for another external solution.

All comments / constructive criticisms always appreciated and always replied to :-*.

Hi,

nice design. It's inviting. I checked your site with Firefox and Safari (on Mac) and noticed that the cataloger looks somehow strange. Check the attachment screenshot.jpg. If you delete in your css the float: left; for the .item_thumbox it should look like in IE7. I tested it on Firefox with the firebug. For my taste the line-height for text below the gallery is a little bit tight. It's not easy to read. On screenshot2.gif I changed the line-height to 1.7em and the margin-top to 20px.
I noticed that the logo in the header is linked with http://www.loveleebay.co.uk/index.php?page=65 ??

greetings, neophron

Hi Neophron,

Thanks so much for taking the time with all the screenshots - much karma! I forgot to do my cross-browser check before posting, but I doubt I would have identified the Firefox problem anywhere near as quickly as you did! Made the line height and margin changes too, looks lovely! I took the header link off altogether - I don't know where the page=65 came from. I used Content Alias to make a Cataloger Category page the default page? I've sorted it, was being a bit dense by linking the Alias in the menu, not the actual page.

Thx again - you're a starĀ  :D

One of the best ways to do cross-browser checking is by using http://browsershots.org

Take a look at what the website looks like with 18 different browser/OS combinations:

Hi Wandrer, Yes, I have recently started using that but I forgot to do it for this site. I agree, it's brilliant, although somewhat depressing depending on the results... :D
