My findings exactly Zjerre.

Thanks for trying to work this out trip, I appreciate it.

Re: xcgal scrolling thumbs

I'm currently using the phpkaox theme at www.thebearsden.bearlythere.ca

I also had this problem with several other themes, in particular sunrise where the images show WAY out of the block and one of the TechThemeConfig themes (I don't remember which one).

The scrolling thumbs are also on www.racing.bearlythere.ca which uses a heavily modified version of "skar" for the theme. Although they are slightly off center, they're not nearly as bad as other sites and the at least stay put at different browser settings.

Sorry Peekay.

The only effect that had was to push the images further right and out of the block.

Re: xcgal scrolling thumbs

gary - I used your suggestion and after updating the module the images failed to appear much as they did when I tried to use < center >.

Rhomal - That is a good suggestion however, over 90% of the visitors to my site and one of the other sites I manage that has the same problem with this block use IE and obviously, we can't control that. I believe in catering to my end users. Leaving them out in the cold rather than trying to find a fix would be much like designing the layout of the site to fit my 21" monitor at 1280x1024 if the vast majority of my users were running 800x600. Even though it may look great on my end, the end result is the site wouldn't look professional to the users and they'd move on. The better way to go is to solve the problem.

If it can't be solved, I'll just write a custom block using some readily available javascript out there and use it in place of xcgal's scrolling thumbs block. It will be more cumbersome to manage from an admin standpoint but the end user won't know the difference and at least it will work with all browsers equally.

Re: xcgal scrolling thumbs

Okay.

I tried using < center > (without the spaces and the proper close tag ) and when I updated the module and went to the page the block was there but no images.

I tried puting < center > in various places in the code and it either had no effect or, once again the block would appear but no images.

Adjusting the 0,0,125 values resulted in the images appearing outside of the block in various places around the page depending upon which value was changed - the first 0 moves the images horizontally, the second 0 moves the images vertically, and changing the 125 value had 2 effects - increasing the value pushed the images to the right outside of the block and decreasing the value would "cut" the right side of the images off leaving them aligned as they normally would be.

I thought I was on to something when I was playing with the first 0 value but changing screen resolutions still resulted in the images appearing outside of the block.

I tried putting the script in a table and setting the cell's value to center but this had no effect on the positioning of the images in the cell. I added text to the cell above and below and it centered in the table but the images still appeared as if aligned right.

I aslo checked the code in the other block's respective .html files for clues but came up empty.

There has to be something either missing from, or in the javascript that is preventing adjustments to the alignment but I don't have enough code skills to know what it might be or what the fix is.

Any more ideas?

Not that I know what I'm talking about, but the first thing I would do is increase / decrease (aka. Monkey around with) the 0,0,125 value:

scroller1 = new scrollerObj(0,0,125

Hope that does it.


Where would I find this piece of code?

Re: Content/Menu Help

That would be excellent Draven!

In the meantime, can I take a module like xt_conteudo and intsall multiple versions of it such as xt_conteudo01, xt_conteudo02, etc?

Content/Menu Help

I'm relatively new to XOOPS so if this has already been covered, please direct me to the proper area. If not, I'm hoping someone can help me.

I'm currently working on a site for a friend. This particular site has many many pages of content and we'd like to be able to make the site easy to navigate. Basically, we're trying to make several different sections which we would like to appear in the main menu. Upon clicking those sections, we'd like the menu to expand with sub-sections. And, when clicking on a sub section, the menu should expand once again to reveal more choices which I will demonstrate below. Each main section that would need to expand, and expand again will be coloured red.

(Example 1 - Main Menu appearance)

Is there a module or technique I can use to make this work?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: NewBB 2 : the menus are scrolled

Okay, I've followed the steps posted here and in THIS TOPIC but the menus are still scrolled out.

I'm using the "sunrise" theme and the theme.html file is actually named _theme.html. Furthermore, there are no "sunrise" files in the template_c directory.

I'm at a loss here.
