Replicant 2 problems
-
-
There is a big problem with Replicant 2 when You have a screen 1280 px wide, and this is now available widely thanks to new vga drivers both on Windows and on Linux. Replicant 2 is seen OK on lower resolutions, but on IE 7 on 1280 it is the case that all the template becomes extremely long and falls somewhere down. Between the header and the content there is a long empty space. The template is displayed OK under Firefox, safari, Opera, Chrome, Seamonkey. Only this IE7. No matter how wide is the template itself. I tried between 950 and 1280. All the same problem.
I try to guess and I feel that it can be a problem with the wrapping of topmenu. The whole template is within the width set in admin, but only topmenu is as wide as the screen is. Can it be a matter of some problems with DIVs in those upper area which fall down when the screen is wider? Is there any way to do any appropriate changes to make the template to be displayed well under IE7 on 1280px ?

; The problem is only with IE7 at 1280 px screen. No matter what the settings are , all the contents fall down. I will try to check the bots that are swithed, especially those using Ajax or Mootools.
But here, I tried all the possible things. I unpublished all the modules. No change.

The problem occurs only in IE7 at 1280px resolution . I checked on Vista system. Since I don't use often Windows, I am not sure what to use for screenshots there. But I will describe the problem. The header area ( blue color in style 2) is very long, maybe some 2000px or more. The white zone with the modules and content is down and to see it I must scroll down some 2000px. Under the header and the showcase positions, there is only some 4px horizontal line of the same color as the white conebt zone.
It is interesting that You probably checked on IE7 at 1280 ant it was OK. So the problems with IE 7 possible variations in versions or mayby configuration? I will try to ask some people who have IE7 and 1280px if they see OK. All other templates from Rockettheme are displayed well.
I will try to disable all the possible mambots and check then.
I must also say that Metamorph is perfect. For the first time a template is displayed on IE6 without the slightest errors.
It seems to me that the latest Rocket templates may seem a little bit too "heavy" in look when set at 1024 width. They show their great potential and beauty just at 1280 px. They look then excellent. But the header backgrounds are too short and it is necessary to make them longer or to "tell" them to repeat horizontally if posible.
Hyperion is excellent. There were also some problems with Perihelion. Of course on IE. If there were no IE on the World, the life would be batter. And the progress in internet faster.

"I checked on Vista system. Since I don't use often Windows, I am not sure what to use for screenshots there. "
Press print screen (Prt Scr button) then go to start > run... type in mspaint and press enter. Then press ctrl-v to paste the screenshot into MSPaint. Save it as PNG
1 Check the template width from the template manager.
2 I don't see any content being pushed down. - Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

- I have a PC running Vista and IE7 and I checked the site at a couple different resolutions. I'm not seeing what you're describing. I do have a wide screen monitor so at some resolutions everything appears to be stretched horizontally, but this includes everything down to my desktop icons, that's just how the widescreen fits some of the resolution settings. I'm not seeing anything stretched or out proportionally out of place vertically though.

I made the image and had to assemble it from 3 pictures, because the screen is so long. The template now is set at 992px. But I tried all the posible widths and various left and right collumns widths and still the same. I tried Replicant 2 on another Joomla and the same problem.

I changed to Metamorph because it does not sprawl like Replicant 2. But the question is still. It sprawls under IE7 at 1280 in some cases. So it is a matter of how often a visitor on a website can see a template like the one attached to my previous post. And what is the reason that on some computers in the same settings of resolution and browser it is good, and on some it is bad.
And when speaking of Metamorph, as You can see on my site, the titles of the articles often happen to be longer than one line allows. Then, the title is simply ruled out by the graphical element / separator. Is there any way to avoid it? - Last Edit: 16 years 20 hours ago by .
