Content outside of pagebody with Artisteer-skin and admin-icon broken link

Hi!

First, great job with the support for Artisteer!
However, unless there will be support for vertical menus it is a showstopper for me on my current website www.haningebudoklubb.se, but I suppose that you will take care of that after Artisteer has released the new version with that functionality. I have a bunch of projects though that will benefit greatly with the current implementation.

 

Here are two things that does not seem to work correctly in the latest version:

In many artisteer-skins, the content that is in the middle pane extends outside to the right of the page-body. Like this: www.haningebudoklubb.se/artskin-error.jpg

The second thing I noticed is a tiny tiny bug that should be easliy fixed. When using the following setting in user.config: <add key="UseIconsForAdminLinks" value="true" />, then the setting-icon shows as a broken link. Properties for the picture reveals that the path points to the root directory instead of the images-directory. Copying wrench.png to the root of the website fixes the problem.

 

I went to the quickersite page with artisteer-templates and downloaded a bunch of them and then made a batch-script that automatically converted these into mojoPortal Skins according to the described procedure. So if anyone is interested I made a zip-file with about 70 ready-to-go Artisteer-Skins together with my scripts. Feel free to download this at www.haningebudoklubb.se/Artisteer-Skins.zip

Update to the problem with content outside of pagebody.

This is only a problem on pages with only middle-pane content. If you add conttent to the left pane, the middle pane content nicely wraps inside the pagebody as it should.

Re: Content outside of pagebody with Artisteer-skin and admin-icon broken link

Hi Mats,

Your screen shot shows an admin page hosted in a narrow skin and overflowing the pane. If the problem happens on non admin public facing pages it would be more of a problem, but a narrow design can have this result whether the skin is generated by Artisteer or by hand coding. My recommendation would be to make the design wider, it looks like it is optimized for 800x600 but these days that is narrower than it needs to be. 0% of my traffic has screen resolution smaller than 1024x768. Wider skins are better, with very narrow skins you end up with side columns that are too narrow and the page becomes crowded.

In any case it is expected that in a few cases you may need to tweak the css to fix issues like this.

If the problem happens on non admin pages, you can send me a design or skin that demonstrates the problem and I will take a look. joe dot audette at g mail dot com

I will work on the vertical menu support as soon as Artisteer releases the next non beta version.

The issue about the broken icon was reported on another thread and will be fixed in the next version. For now a workaround is to copy the file /Data/SiteImages/wrench.png to the root.

Best,

Joe

Ok, no big deal for me personally that the content flows out sometimes, I just wanted you to know.

The problem pertains to all kind of content, not just admin-pages and it is present on many skins that are converted from the artisteer-templates downloaded from quickersite (I batch-converted a lot of these).

Thing is that if there is content in the left pane, the problem disappears.

Hi Mats,

I've downloaded your zip, can you tell me the name of a skin that has this issue? It should be easy to solve with css.

Best,

Joe

Re: Content outside of pagebody with Artisteer-skin and admin-icon broken link

Ok, her are a few using the names the skins have in my zip-file.
The ones "in between" do not have the problem

Artisteer_1
Artisteer_10
Artisteer_11
Artisteer_12
Artisteer_1_green
Artisteer_1_purple
Artisteer_2_black_mt
Artisteer_2_black_mtr
Artisteer_3_blue
Artisteer_3_red
Artisteer_3_yellow
Artisteer_4
Artisteer_5
Artisteer_7
Artisteer_8
Artisteer_Alpine_3
Artisteer_Black_3
Artisteer_Black_and_White_3
... and so on. About 2 out of three have this problem.

Funny that only some skins have the error, but others do not.
If you look at Artisteer_1_green for example, not only content but also "wrappers" or what you can call it also extends outside the pagebody.

Re: Content outside of pagebody with Artisteer-skin and admin-icon broken link

Hi Mats,

I've updated the details of step 5 a little to clarify, but as it said before a few tweaks may be needed. I was able to fix the Artisteer_1_green by making the following changes in styleartisteeroverrides.css:

1. fix issue where the grass image was repeating:

body.pagebody
{
 background-color: #7C9C7F;
 background-image: url('images/Page-BgTexture.jpg');
 background-repeat: repeat-x;
 background-attachment: fixed;
 background-position: bottom left;
}

2. Adjust width on these 2, old widths shown in comments

.art-contentLayout .art-content-wide
{
 position: relative;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
 border: 0;
 float: left;
 overflow: hidden;
 /* width: 982px; */
 width: 882px;
}
.art-contentLayout .art-content-narrow
{
 position: relative;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
 border: 0;
 float: left;
 overflow: hidden;
 /* width: 493px; */
 width: 393px;
}

This is because the design is narrower than the included Artisteer skins.

Best,

Joe

Re: Content outside of pagebody with Artisteer-skin and admin-icon broken link

I also found I needed to copy this part from near the bottom of style.css into styleartiseeroverrides.css and change the width to make it correct when there is only content in 1 side pane.

.art-contentLayout .art-content
{
 position: relative;
 margin: 0;
 padding: 0;
 border: 0;
 float: left;
 overflow: hidden;
 /*width: 663px;*/
 width: 640px;
}

Best,

Joe
