Event Calendar Pro Line Formatting

Hi Joe,

I was asked to report an issue on the event calendar in which the lines aren't correctly displayed on the Month View page when more than one event occurs during a week.  It's difficult to explain, but here's an attempt.  When an event is scheduled for one day and the length of text makes the entry more than one line, and another event is scheduled before or after and the text is on one line, the lines aren't drawn for the largest length.  An example can be found at www.culturalknowledge.org and clicking on the Events tab.  Is there a way for the lines to be drawn?

Note:  The missing line issue was observed before updating to the latest version of mojoPortal (2.3.9.0 MSSQL)/Event Calendar Pro (3.4.0.7) and still exists after the update.

Thanks,


Leslie

Re: Event Calendar Pro Line Formatting

Hi Leslie,

I'm afraid that is a difficult style problem to solve. The table for the calendar is made up of complex tables and rows with colspans and rowspans that try to even out the layout and what happens is the neighboring table cell affects the height of that cell because the long title of the other event makes the neighbor td taller causing the whole row to be taller. I can say it also is handled differently in different web browsers, its looks correct in Chrome for example. I wish I had a solution to offer but a solution eludes me. Maybe a better css guru could come up with something.

You could limit the hight of the event label div like this:

div.eventcontainer { max-height: 30px; overflow-y:hidden; }

and that fixes the layout by preventing the content from overflowing and growing the row height but then part of the long title on the other event is clipped.

Wish I had a better solution to suggest but I don't.

Best,

Joe
