Hello Jennifer Gress,

Sorry for late reply to this,
That should be okay when you open a post thread regarding this issues here.
Can I have your Joomla backend and FTP access so we can help you check on this? Please advise.

By the way, I have a little bit lost here, can you elaborate more details regarding this "When the module was set to "Popular" the last link worked. When I changed it to category order, the last link works only." ? Like provide some screenshot and how to reproduce the "last link" in your site?

I'll get an ftp and backend user set up for you shortly. I'm in a migration so there's a live site in the root...

If you go to the link dev.breadandroses.org/index.php/blog you will see that the last category listed can be clicked and the rest of the categories cannot. The Blog Category Module is in the right sidebar.

More in a bit...just have to do a few things first. Thanks for the awesome response time.

okie dokie. accesses below.

if you change the files, please let me know which files you changed so that i can keep a copy. i would hate to overwrite your changes with an update down the line...unless of course, it will be fixed in an update so i don't have to worry about it.

thanks!

Hello Jennifer,

I've fixed it for you. The issue is because the css hack you have included in your template css file. I've modified it and you have to remove '!important' from this line in ../components/com_easyblog/assets/css/module.css :

.ezb-mod .mod-item + .mod-item{border-top:1px solid #ccc;margin:10px 0 0 !important;}

Hope this helps.

hello,

thanks for fixing the category module. however...

i've removed everything from my custom css file regarding easyblog modules. here's the thing now, the latest blog posts module is now totally messed up and unreadable. even with my custom css code with or without !important it's messed up and unreadable. even without the custom css code at all it's messed up and unreadable.

here is the code i had in the custom css file to tighten up the space between the titles of the latest blog post module:

/*easyblog latest blog post module - tighten up between posts*/

body .ezb-mod .mod-item + .mod-item {

       margin: -30px 0 0 !important;

}

the latest blog post module is posted on the home page and i've published it to the blog page too so that it's easier to see and troubleshoot.

so while i do need the category module to work, i also need the latest blog post module to work.

what did you do to "fix" the category module? let's maybe undo that and start over to see if we can get them both to work and look decent too?

by the way, you can get to the other template files from the template manager on the backend. but please let me know which files you change. that is important.

thanks in advance,
jenn

Hello Jennifer,

Sorry for late reply to this,
I have checked in your site, it seems like when i comment it with your custom code then everything is work fine now. check my attachment screenshot below.

/*easyblog latest blog post module - tighten up between posts*/

/*

.ezb-mod .mod-item + .mod-item {

margin: 0 0 !important;

}



.ezb-mod .mod-item {

padding: 0px 0 !important;

line-height: 1px;

} */

Please have a check before make sure you cleanup your Joomla cache and browser cache.

hi,

ok. looks like we're back to the beginning to me.

so now that both of those are commented out in my custom css file, i now have the problem i had a couple of weeks ago where the latest blog post titles have too much space between them that i had solved with the -30 you see in my code in a previous thread. and of course now i have no ability to override anything cuz they are just commented out entirely.

can i just not have those titles in the latest blog post module be any closer together or the category module won't work? is that how it is?

and will you please help me to understand what other file you altered to fix the category module originally? if you didn't alter any file, will you please just tell me that? or maybe you don't know cuz it was someone else?

thanks for your help and responses.

Hello Jennifer Gress,

I am sorry for the late reply.
I am sorry for the confusion caused earlier. If I understand you correctly, you want to tighten up space between post in module isn't? If yes, can you give this a try?
Please remove !important in this ../components/com_easyblog/assets/css/module.css .

.ezb-mod .mod-item + .mod-item{border-top:1px solid #ccc;margin:10px 0 0 !important;}

Then put this code in currently using Joomla template. Because if you put in the module.css this will be replaced by the latest update if you run update.

/*easyblog blog category post module - tighten up between posts*/

div#ezblog-categories.ezb-mod .mod-item

{

    overflow: hidden;

    padding: 0 !important;

    position: relative;

}

/*easyblog latest blog post module - tighten up between posts*/

.ezblog-latestpostnopaddingbottom .mod-post-meta 

{

    display: table-row-group !important;

}

If this is not the issue, can you please explain more, so that we are able to understand you correctly.
Hope this will help.
Thanks.

hello,

thanks for your reply. i'm about off to bed on my side of the planet but here's what i'm thinking right now.

i want to start over.

can you please talk to Nick and find out what he did to "fix" the category module? what file or files did he change? or if i just reinstall the blog category module will it remove whatever he did to the site? (this is my biggest problem with "just give me access." i've asked many times what file was changed - i even asked to be told when i gave the access initially.)

once i can determine that and take all the code out of my custom css file, i'll start over and i won't change anything with all the excessive padding until i figure out the functionality piece first.

so while i sleep, will you please talk to Nick and find out what file or files changed when he "fixed" the category module? then we can take it from there.

thank you very much in advance,
jenn

hi!

there was some commented out module css in the custom css file as of last night placed there by one of you and this morning after (not enough) sleep, i removed it.

what is there now is sufficient and fine for the site. i figure there must be some change that was made somewhere because the space between each of the titles in the latest blog post module is less than it was prior with no override. i won't ever know exactly where that change was made but will figure it out if ever it is overriden by an update.

the category module works. thank you!
the latest blog post works. thank you!

we'll call this solved. it was mainly confusing more than anything else.

thanks for your help.
