Let me start out by saying the ES Dropdown Menu module is even cooler than I originally thought. I'm glad to see a native drop down login in a module.

The issues can be seen here. Anyways this screen shot will sum up a few issues:



1. Login box overflows beyond template.

2. Language strings break outside ES menu items.

3. Direction is improper unless the browser is downsized a bit. Here's a sample where it looks better:



4. There is no register button. Ideally on the left of the login button would be a good place for it.
Hello Josh,

I have fixed the dropdown menu module, you can define the position at Backend > Module Manage > EasySocial Dropdown Menu > Popbox position now.

Hello Josh,

Currently there is no collision detection in the dropdown and this is probably why you are saying that it's overlapping over the template? As for the language issues, I have fixed this on the site. As for the registration link, this was already added internally.

Right, there is no collision. I removed almost the entire template in firebug just to be uber sure of this. When I remove the templates max-width suddenly this problem goes away. I don't want the template to be 1900px wide on my end. I did a experiment where I set the max-width to 1600px which it worked as it should, then I removed the extra width from the loginbox and suddenly it floated back over to the right. This shows that when it thinks there is enough space on the right it takes advantage of it. To further confirm this claim with only one mod I made the login box 550px wide (ugly I know) and suddenly it behaved as it should.

My post above is not a solution, but hints at the source of the problem. Thanks for fixing the language string issues. Regarding the registration link, is it a button next to the login?

Hi Josh,

Can you elaborate a bit more your issues with screenshot? I have checked no matter the body#page have max-width or not the dropdown menu pop at the right place.

The registration link will show at top right corner of the dropdown menu. http://screencast.com/t/sLIURrdphl

I changed the size of the template so that the issue happens now on medium sized screens as well. In other words you will see the login pop-box float to the right when it shouldn't. Regarding the registration link, it does not display.

Hello Josh,

The reason why your registration link doesn't appear is because you didn't allow new user sign-ups. There is a setting in the backend and you can find this setting at: EasySocial > Settings > Registration > Allow new user sign-ups = Yes.

Hope this will help.
Thanks.

Thanks Mohd, I should have known. So the only issue now is the login popbox not displaying where it is supposed to.
