Help needed with RokMiniEvents

The Documentation for RokMiniEvents shows 3 events listed side by side in a nice row...
www.rockettheme.com/docs/joomla/extensions/rokminievents
I have tried every conceivable combination of settings to try and achieve exactly this but the best I can get is 3 events in a column, each one slightly further inset than the last...
penryncameraclub.org.uk/
I am also unable to get the events (which are linked to JEvents) to link back to the original calendar. No matter which option I choose, no link appears to be made available.
If anyone has any idea on how I can resolve either of these issues I would be very grateful.
I am using Joomla 3.2.3 and the RT_Paradigm template.
All help greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
Mike

something weird going on...
How are you loading the rokminievents module?? What position is it in?
Some errors specific to rokminievents on that page as well:
validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2F...ctype=Inline&group=0
when I navigate around the code it just feels like somethings broken... like a missing </div> or </li> somewheres... you should be able to highlight the minievent text and such and you can't...
the first <ul> tag inside the rokminievents container is setting an inline style width... which can be overridden, but first, put it back the way it's supposed to work... in the 3 cols or whatever... I'm actually not familiar with rokminievents at all but we should be able to beat it up...
check those errors out too... make sure any code you put in, anywhere on the homepage, aint typo-ed - SEARCH the forum first! These boards are rich in knowledge and vast in topics. This includes searching just the 'Solved' forums, using Google, and using ChatGPT

I was publishing it straight to a blank page in Feature-A. I made no settings changes to the module or it's CSS at all. This is the default behaviour I get straight after installing it which is why I was puzzled. I wondered if it is a conflict with the Template???
I have now published it inside an Article (using [module=xxx]) and it now has link functionality but...
I have it set to use an overall width of 840px, split 3 ways (ie, 3 x 280px). I also have it set to show 3 events with only 1 per pane. For some reason it tries to fit the 3 events into a single pane instead!
Any ideas?
Many thanks again.
Mike

I concur it's sticking them all in one event... when I pull all the html and peek at it, there's simply no closing </li> tags for each event... when I look a little closer I see a bunch of these:
</div>
</div>
</li>
I thought it was "printing" </li> and even </div> tags as plain text, not actual markup.
So then I'm like... WTF...
and then I found it
This link... which I think is the link that's supposed to wrap the APR 3 icon block thingee...
<a class="rokminievents-title" href="/club-info/programme/eventdetail/0/-/-?rp_id=11">Competition - Image of the Year (Judge Roy McBryde)</a> <span class="rokminievents-time">19:30 to 22:00</span> <p> <a style="color: #32996b; text-decoration: none; -webkit-transition: all; transition: all; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(50, 153, 107, 0.498039); font-family: ralewaylight, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial <----- It "dies" right there... there's no ">"
In fact, the rest of these type of links for the other items are like that too...
So whatever's setting that inline style doesn't close that style... or maybe that style is supposed to be in the preceding <p> tag, not a new <a> tag... eitherway, that's where it goes haywire...
I'm not entirely sure how to fix that... but there's likely a php file somewhere that's spitting out that code that has a conflict... or maybe the templates JQuery is trying (this is total conjecture) to inject the templates font-family right there and breaks it... eitherway, that's where it breaks... - Last Edit: 11 years 3 weeks ago by Matt.

Hi Blam
I checked it again and the closing tags are all there. I'm using Chrome to look at the source...not sure what you're using???
I've just changed the site to show the specific problem whereby the 3 items are stuck all in the first placeholder...just so you can see it.
Many thanks again for your help with this. I love the look and feel of the module so it would be great to get it working properly.
Mike

I can see what's happening...
The RokMiniEvents-Item-First is the first 'pane' and contains the first Item.
The second Item though is nested within the first and the third is nested within the second.
They should be split out so the items each display within separate panes. Not sure if I'm just setting it up wrong of if the code is just doing something weird???

That open <a> tag doesn't have it's opening ">" tag nor a closing </a> tag
everything after that doesn't matter... but basically, because of ^^that^^ the closing </li> tags aren't read by the browser properly and so the first item in the list never gets closed, and they all appear nested/within the first item... - Last Edit: 11 years 3 weeks ago by Matt.

Well spotted!
Not quite sure what to do abouut it though as I'm not a programmer. I've not touched the code/css within the module so there must be an error either in the original module itself or an incompatability with my template???
I'm not a complete noob tho so I'm happy to go code delving if someone can point me in the right direction.
Many thanks
Mike

I'm not sure how to go about that much either... except pouring through Rokminievents php (public_html/components/com_rokminievents -- or -- public_html/modules/moe_rokminievents) -- look for theme or layout folders...
and then in the php files you decide to look through look for "class="rokminievents-time" and you should be able to find the line that spits out that <a> tag... if it's closed properly in the php file then I'd say that the plugin itself is ok and perhaps the template is trying to inject a font-type in that line and it's breaking it... that all gets over my head, but it's a place to start... - SEARCH the forum first!
