Shape 5

1)  I have posted up several articles on my site and am having a bit of trouble with where the category and section links as well as the author information are being displayed as can be seen here:
 http://voodoogroove.org./index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=66&Itemid=118.

If you notice, the links and author information on the first article are displayed correctly, after the title and this is because of the title length i have found.  If the title is any shorter than that then the links and author information fall right after the title.  This is only happening under the section blog and category blog layouts.  When the actual article is viewed everything is placed correctly as can be seen here:
http://voodoogroove.org./index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=227:pacaf-specialized-medical-team-conducts-first-ever-peacetime-missions&catid=66:news-a-current-affairs&Itemid=118.

Is there a way to have the category and section blog layouts display the title of the article on a dedicated line, thus rendering all subsequent information after it like it is on the actual article view?

2)  Also notice the read more buttons are not showing up in the proper locations under the category blog layout view, they are almost showing up as part of the next article as can be seen here:
http://voodoogroove.org./index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=66&Itemid=118
When articles are viewed under the section layout they are positioned fine though.

3)  Notice the breadcrumb in top row 1, its not showing the "&" symbol, just &amp.

I really need your help on these :-)

Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Hello,

1. Those are meant to be on one line but you can try adding the following css to the bottom of template.css to see if it changes:

.contentpaneopen div span {
display:block;
width:100%;
}

2. Try adding the following to the bottom of template.css and see if that changes for you:

a.readon {
display:block;
float:none;
margin-top:20px;
width:75px;
}

3. Breadcrumbs was showing a & for me.

Mikek, thanks for your reply! I really appreciate your help.  So the code for the read more totally worked, :-).  The category and section code did not.  I think maybe I should explain more clearly.  I understand that the category and section links are meant to be on one line and I am cool with that.  The code you gave split them up into two lines, that is ok as well but here is what I was referring to. On this page: http://www.voodoogroove.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=66&Itemid=118, look at the first article listing, that is how I want it to look, with the section and category links falling under the title, not right after it.  Look at the second and third article listing, see how the section and category links are smashed right up against the title?  The first article only displayed it correctly because of the length of the title so I am not sure how to make then all look like that as not all of my titles will be that long.  Thanks again for your help and I await your reply :-).

NOTE:  I am not sure if this helps but it only does this under the section and blog layouts, when you view the actual article it displays fine.

Would you be able to provide me with ftp access? And I can look into this further for you.

PM sent :-)

Hi, I am having a similar problem with the text from the article being squashed right up next to the title.

Has this been rectified in any way??

Hello,

Go to the following folder:

templates\eshopper\html\com_content

and rename it to:

templates\eshopper\html\com_content_bak

and see if that changes the layout for you.

Hi Mike,

That worked great for the text....but now the "print/pdf/email" icons are in a weird position?? Any ideas.

Regards, Fin
