Window Overflow Problem 25 Jul 2008 15:05 #167

Hey! Thanks for a great component! I've just installed it on www.ceoutreach.org and am having a little bit of a problem. When you click on the link Weekly Messages (I changed Bible Studies to Weekly Messages), you go to the message listing as you should. The problem is that the list overflows to the right overlapping the menu items.

I've gone into components/com_biblestudy/views/studieslist/tmpl/default.php and can adjust the code so the drop down boxes stop overlapping by changing the code
<form action="<?php echo $this->request_url; ?>" method="post" name="adminForm">
<table width="500">


I cannot get the list to stop overflowing, however. I've tried going into the backend and setting biblestudy's parameters so the table width is 430px but it doesn't make a difference. I've also tried changing the code on the default.php page
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<?php if ($this->params->get('show_teacher_list') >0) { ?>
 
from 100% to 430px but again, no difference.

Can you help?

Thank you!

I looked at your site and it appears fine - did you find a solution?

Before the post was passed by the moderator I discovered I had the ability to hide/show the columns in the backend so I just turned some off. Not exactly what I wanted but it works!

I tried inserting an image of the overflow problem with the original post but couldn't get it to show up for some reason. I don't think it was uploading properly.

I can see the problem now - since bible study uses tables and some templates use only divs sometimes this causes problems - but you can usually fix it like you did by watching the columns you mark to "show" and how wide they are.

Are you using 6.0.08 of bible study? It works better in templates than 6.0.07.

I don't know what version I'm running. How do I tell? I downloaded and installed it yesterday.

If you look under Extensions, Components on the backend you can see the version next to Bible study. 6.0.08 is at RC5 status as of sometime yesterday. It's listed as Beta on the Joomlacode site where our component files are kept. If you want to you can upgrade to 6.0.08 (if you aren't already using it) by simply installing it - you don't have to uninstall the old version (a neat and undocumented trick in the new Joomla).
