Hi SI support

I know this is a customisation and that you guys can not help me directly with this one....
A friend has been helping me with the banner thing and he says he has tried lots of Code that is pretty much standard in the Joomla world and nothing has worked for him. He thinks there is something from the SI side that is getting in the way. Is this possible? As far as I can make out what ever he does to CENTER the banner in the middle does not work!!!

This is what he has done so far:

/**
* Here, you can define your own custom.css file.
* This file will never be deleted.
*/

#bruce-bottom {
z-index: 6;
width: 500px;
height: 25px;
position: fixed;
bottom: 0;
left: 0;
}



#bm-bann {
z-index: 12;
width: 650px ;
margin: 0 auto ;
}


#bm-outer {
z-index: 12;
width: 650px ;
text-align: center;
}

#bm-inner {
display: inline-block;
}


Any tips or pointers would be greatly appreciated. I just want a banner up top/middle with some padding....
See screen shot for how it should work...

thanks

Paul
In your custom.css, try



.bm-bann p {
text-align: center;
margin-top: 10px;
}

Hi Paul,

Are you placing the banner above the header section, or below (see a screenshot of a project I'm working on that has the banner below the nav).

Hello Paul,

Unfortunately our support does not actually cover customizations and we need to actually start enforcing such policies because otherwise, most of our time spent will be on helping you to customize rather than working on what we do best, which is building great features

Hi Justin,

That seems to have done the trick!!!
If you had a tip how I can adjust the padding under the banner that would be the icing on the cake.

thanks so much

Paul

Hi Mark

I think I understand your frustration. And I appreciate the importance of being focused on your strength! The banner basically finances the Site which helps me to pay you guys. So please just ignore that one. Justin kindly chipped in and saved the day. So I get to renew my sponsorship deal for another year and owe Justin a meal!

With respect to my other issues, I honestly do not see them as customisation issues! If a mouse roll over works on a Blog post why does it not work on a Front page layout!?! Is that an inconsistency, feature, bug, or something else. You tell me?

If I have the ability to change the size of all the images in the EB back end and yet Wanderers over rides this feature and just offers one size… What is this?

Take Wanders Images which are 810 times 375. Which for some one who posts videos all the time is a bit difficult to work with. I suspect that I am not alone in wanting too posts videos! In the world of video the ratio of the width to the ratio of the height is really important. So we talk about 4:3 TVs or 16:9 TVs

Even if I went and redid my 100s of image thumbnails by hand giving them a width of 810 they will be cropped by Wanderers. Am I really the only person with this problem? Something like this could be a selling point for your product! There are so many sites with badly implemented videos...I used to just iFrame them into the post and that did not work either as it brought the front page Blog almost to a stand still!

Maybe I should be posting this kind of stuff in the Voices section?

Maybe with respect to my pop up work flow I should think of getting this!?!

Maybe I should just wait for EB 5?

The last thing I want to do is to pick a fight with you or SI. Am just genuinely puzzled…

best

Paul

Try adding padding to the banner's paragraph:


.bm-bann p {
text-align: center;
margin-top: 10px;
padding-bottom: 10px;
}

Hi Justin

That did the trick perfectly. I really appreciate it. I even kind of understand the code but it is just not my world. If you ever need some help in the world of video let me know.

all the best

Paul
