Title: The Review Site
Post by: the review site on May 27, 2007, 04:52:34 PM
Hi Guys

I wonder if a few people could take 5 minutes to look at my site.

the link is http://www.thereviewsite.net (http://www.thereviewsite.net)

I'm as much inerested in comments/suggestions/improvements as much as reviews, though reviews would be nice and very greatfully received  :)

Many thanks guys

Lee

To fix the layout on this page:

http://www.thereviewsite.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=15&Itemid=45

Edit the /component/com_jreviews/tmpl/default/blogjoomla.css file to remove the white-space line shown below:

Quote
.jr_customfields-listview {
   border: 0px solid #CCC;
   white-space:nowrap;
   padding: 3px;
   margin-bottom: 10px;
}

Thanks for pointing this out.

Unfortunately I cannot modify this file.

I am also unavle to change the permissions as it says not permitted.  Any idea how I can modify this file?

Many Thanks

Lee

You will have to install JoomlaXplorer to edit or change the file's permissions.

Nice :)

Try renaming the ratingsbox2.html template to ratingsbox.html and replacing the original one to see if the rating stars in reviews appear next to the criteria instead of far to the right. This happens due to some conflict with the Joomla template.

ooh nice, i'll have a look at that thanks.

On this page:

http://thereviewsite.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=4&Itemid=35 (http://thereviewsite.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogsection&id=4&Itemid=35)

Is there anyway to move the 2 columns slightly further apart, to leave a slight space for them?  On all pages infact.

I can't find where to do it and don't know whether its the template, jReviews or even what to change if I did find it.

Thanks

Lee

I think that's a Joomla thing. But you can try improving it a bit through jReviews by editing the blogjoomla.css file and reducing the width here:

Code:
.blogview {
width: 100%;
margin-top: 15px !important;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-bottom: 10px !important;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

Hi

That works, however it doesn't seem to effect the Dashboard Module (Custom) on the front page.  When set to 2 columns the text on some of the reviews almost runs into the second column.

Regards

Lee

THat's right, that css file only controls the Joomla blog page, not the module. for the module you will need to play with the html template that you edited before. Add some padding to columns ???

Tried this.  Works for 90% of the page refreshes then get an article that doesn't fit on the page.

Not the end of the world, I've set the module to use 1 column.

Thanks for your help
