Module only visible under navigation-level. Blank space.

Post by mhu100 »

I'm not sure how to explane this, but I will try.
When I put a module code like {Neogallery} or {Googlemap} in the contentwindow (Backend) and save the page, then the output (Frontend) is not correct. All the content is only visible under the navigation-level (see image). Above the picture is only blank-space.
Is there anyone who's having a solution?

Many thanks in advance!

I'd suggest using the web developer tools for your browser to outline page elements; this way you can see the actual border outline of your divs. IE8 and Chrome have these tools built in; Firefox has the Web Developer plugin. Personally I like Chrome's the best, you can right-click on the page and select "Inspect Element" which I find is really quick.

My guess is a clearing problem with the columns. As a stab in the dark, try sticking:
Directly underneath the divs for the two columns.

Where do I put these code exactly? In the template or CSS or anywhere else?

The should go in the template, underneath the two divs containing your sub-navigation and content, but above any containing div.

Do you have a link for this site?

Your content section is too wide so it is sliding down below the left-hand menus. Adjust your CSS and look if you can limit the width of the module template.

One of the forum users, DEAK, had find the solution.
Hi,

I've had a look at the site. I think this is an issue with NeoGallery; either its template or associated CSS. Specifically, I think the problem starts somewhere around:



I've never used NeoGallery myself, so I'm not sure how it works. However, if you can get to the template of it, perhaps try removing the "clear" from the above DIV's class.

As an alternative, perhaps try using a different photo gallery just to test if the problem remains -- for example, maybe NeoGallery's stylesheet/template do not work great with your site. Maybe they need some tweaking, I'm not sure. Or try posting in the Modules forum, because this problem looks to be module specific rather than a more general layout problem.

By the way, I looked at the site in Google Chrome and the problem is much worse.

Hope that helps a little.


I removed the Clear from and the problem was solved.

Many thanks to Deak!
