Hello again team SI,

I can't seem to get the quick registration image/text to align on my site.

[*] I have cleared cache (dozens of times on system and browser while testing this)
[*] I tried different templates (protostar included) and it didn't seem to fix it.
[*] I am using JA-Simplii as template

Please see attached image. That is the best it will display, which is just not cool. This is the last issue we have on the test server before pushing the update - but we need this.

thanks,

Bridgette
It looks like the header texts is pushing the body sideways. A simple CSS issue?

Perhaps you can provide us your page URL so we can take a look of your whole page HTML?

It seems like that module display on the small section then causing this, for this module should make it display on the larger section so it will display properly.

Can you try add this class name is-mobile from your Module Class Suffix, you can check my attached screenshot below.

Hope this will help.

That made no sense to me at all. So sorry.

I am attaching 2 images. One is our current (pre ES 2, old software) site and one is an exact duplicate on another URL that we upgraded.

This doesn't look like an upgrade to us visually but a mess.

1. The login box was so neat and clean on old style. I do not like how tall the box is now with it's pretty (but not needed) extra background image)

2. The sidebar as you can see worked perfectly pre ES2. I did not need to place it in a "larger" module position. (the one it is in auto sizes, btw)

3. It does not respect layout -- you can see it doesn't resize, it overwrites the boundaries. This is in a "larger module space" so that does not seem to be a solution.

We would like to have the advances in ES 2.0 but not at the cost of the whole site looking and acting poorly.

I am trying to be as clear and detailed as possible. Please don't take this personally - I love ES and the SI team does an amazing job. However, for us, this is not looking like an upgrade at all but a leap off a cliff into a mind numbing mess.

thank you,

Bridgette

We did try your is-mobile and it helped a lot but the other issues remain. (not respecting boundaries in our blog titles and the larger than needed login box with a background we don't care for.)

Why is it not responsive and respecting layouts now? Is there a need to change templates with the upgrade?

thanks guys,

Bridgette

To be honest, the login box still looks bad to us. We can live with it, since it is functional but it is not an improvement. The spacing for the two test (header and desc) are too wide between lines and it would look much better without that background.

It okay, we will always welcome all the feedback from our customer.
And I also believe 1 sentences is however how we improve the software it surely can't make everyone satisfy but we will try our best to solve each other issue.

The reason why it work correctly in the 1.4 version is because we have implement the auto resize to responsive feature in the pass but the thing is, it will make the site become slower and it will showing some "jumping" effect if the site is extremely slow, you can take a look of my video here ( http://screencast.com/t/G6nk3ciuKk ), this is what i test on my local 1.4 version, imagine if the site load page very slow, at first it will display non-responsive module styling then need to take a little bit time to resize it then only show the nice responsive view.

Most of our customer complain about this in Easysocial 1.4, so we decided to remove this auto resize feature and implement mobile agent detect feature, what this purpose is it will detect those user view on the actual mobile device from the website, then show the responsive view properly.

Hm, I don't think that issue is related when you add is-mobile module suffix from the module then causing the rest of the issue.
Perhaps you can provide us with your test site Joomla backend and FTP access so we can better have a look?

I'm going to try some other fixes and get our CSS person to have a try.

I understand that you made changes to 2.0 to speed it up but tbh, our old version wasn't slow for a site that has so many images on landing. (2.2 seconds full load) and the tests on 2,0 show the scripts have grown which means if you aren't using mod_pagespeed it can be about the same speed or slower to load.

I installed Apache mod_pagespeed and it's helped but I have never used that program before so to gain real benefits, I'll have to spend this weekend reading up and testing different things. That's another weekend gone - sigh.

We don't give access to the backend on our licensed (live/production) site - if you want it on a test site, I can do an akeeba backup and restore to a different domain we own (so it's the exact same software and settings on same hardware) and you can have access to that. Please let me know.

Also, Could you please advise where I need to go to remove the backgrounds from the quick register and login mods, pls?

Thank you again,

Bridgette

ps - I can see that if we are willing to put in the work, 2.0 will be a better product but it would have been very helpful to have more detailed instructions and in depth information on what you changed and why, so we could plan better. An upgrade shouldn't be a nerve wracking experience.

Thanks for your input, but I will said we did redesign all the every single pages HTML structure and simplify all the settings from backend.

You can modify on these 2 files to remove the background image from your quick register and login module.
JoomlaFolder/modules/mod_easysocial_register/tmpl/default.php
JoomlaFolder/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/helpers/html/login.php


Hope this will help.

Hi Arlex!

That worked sweetly for the quick registration. (see image)

However, I can't seem to find where to get rid of the grey box (yes, I can easily remove the patterned background now that I know which file it's called from). Which file am I looking for to get rid of the module styling you do on login, please?

We need the clean white background. No extra boxes or images. Our site loads a bunch of recipe pictures already so every extra call is one we want to cut away. Clean & simple looking. We all know ES is anything but simple.

thanks again,

Bridgette
