Broken layout in rss_suparchive

Just started using txp and installed rss_suparchive plugin. Using most recent version release of TXP.

All seems to work ie displays proper content but on the bycat option it seems to break the layout with the right col appearing under the returned content.

Played around with css with two different template layouts but to no avail. Take out the bycat code and page is ok.

Checked on Wilshire website for info and it appears to be happening there as well when displaying categories; the right had column is pushed below content. Don’t know enough about plugins to check anything in there as it could relate to an end div or similar in the category plugin code.

Searched forum but can’t find any ref or fix. Thought it might be a browser problem but happens in Mozilla as well as IE.

Re: Broken layout in rss_suparchive

Update on last post.

The problem appears to be a missing /div tag. Checked the generated page in editor and showed up an unclosed div tag.

Using modified Flex template from thebombsite as base added a closing div at end of the ‘archivescat_page’ form and layout works.

Not a proper fix but don’t know where it should go in plugin!

Re: Broken layout in rss_suparchive

Thanks for the info robiw. I have to say I didn’t spot that problem when I did the port but it was done before 4.0 so I wonder if anything changed. I’ll check it out. You would be better posting directly to the plug-in thread though as the authors will pick it up quicker. They generally “subscribe” to their own threads.

Re: Broken layout in rss_suparchive

I have a problem with rss_suparchive_bycat that also breaks page layout. When a category list is displayed, a random selection from the list (often the first or last item) will be inserted into a separate < ul > apart from the others in the category list.

for example:

<pre>
<code>
< ul > < li > list item < /li>
< /ul >
< ul > < li > list item < /li> < li > list item < /li> < li > list item < /li>
< /ul>
</code>
</pre>

I have no idea how to approach fixing this problem. If anyone has a fix for this I’m all ears.

Thanks,

cpk

Re: Broken layout in rss_suparchive

As I mentioned this would be better in the plug-in’s thread.

Did that but got no response. Thought maybe it would get more attention here since it probably wouldn’t get buried so quickly as it would in the plugin thread. You could attribute this separate post as a tantrum due to lack of attention, at least for my part in it. ;-)

I guess i could have bumped my post there but thought this might be more effective. Maybe admins could move this thread into that thread to keep things neat and tidy on the forum.

Re: Broken layout in rss_suparchive

I’m not sure if the mail feature is working at the moment. It seems to have problems from time to time which is why you may not have had a response in the other thread.
