Re: Left Panel expand over the wrapwebsite div.

 

I am having the same issue...that is content in the left or right panels that is longer than the center panel is not contained in the parent container.  I tried this on several different skins and it is the same on all that I tried (SplitMenu2, MojoGuideToGalaxy, GotMono, Mojo1, Techview) except it seems to behave correctly using the Centered1 skin. 

I have addressed this issue previously (not in mojoPortal) using the ClevaTreva's full height technique as described at csscreator.com/node/20471

Does anyone have any idea how to address this issue in the mojoPortal skins?

Hi Alan,

Are you working with the release version of mojoPortal or from svn? I think in svn, since the last release I have added some min-height settings in css to fix this. That article you linked is very good, perhaps better than what I've done. When I get a chance maybe I will try and create a new skin based on their template layout, or maybe you can experiment with trying to do that.

You are right that centered1 is different than the other skins, it uses a different technique for achieving the column layout whereas most other skins use absolute positioning for the left and right columns and margins for the middle. The issue you mention is caused by use of absolute postion. The middle column doesn't know about the position of the left and right side since they are taken out of document flow. Min-height fixed it to some extent.

Cheers,

Joe

Re: Left Panel expand over the wrapwebsite div.

Hi Joe,

First of all...great job on MojoPortal! What a refreshing change from dnn.

I have just been getting started with MojoPortal and have downloaded both the source code and release files (v2.2.2.8) from the web. I had trouble with source code (primarily errors while debugging releated to NeatUpload) but I am off to a good start with the setup files. I'll pull down the SVN code next and see how I do getting it to build, run/debug etc...and then I'll look again at the skin issue.

Yes, ClevaTreva's "full height" post really encapsulates a lot of the CSS best practices that are available. I really like that it is source ordered and without too much effort, multiple headers and footers can be added. I spent some time yesterday trying to "blindly" implement a MojoPortal skin with ideas from that post without much luck.

So, with all of that said, I'll be happy to brainstorm some ideas with you and may be able to help implement them as well.

-Alan
