Joomla! Discussion Forums

Hello all

I have made an update from Joomla 1.5.14 to Joomla 1.5.15 and now established that the orientation of the category "News" (Newsflash) is different than before. The entries of the list (category view) is now all left alignet (-> see picture attached - view.jpg). Before the update, everything was aligned centrally.

Once I compared the files in the Update-Package with the existing ones; however I unfortunately havent found anything who is different regarding to the alignment.

Any of you know where I can change the orientation?
I also compared that with Firebug. I have attached two images:
- ok.jpg (alignment with Joomla 1.5.14)
- bad.jpg (alignment with Joomla 1.5.15)

Now I don't know where to change that...

Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks and greetings
Markus

Are you using one of the default templates? Have you set the sectiontableheader alignment in the CSS file? Can you post a link to the site?

Hello

No I am using a template from yootheme. There is no alignment set into my joomla.css file of the template. Because that worked with Joomla versions previous than 1.5.15 I didn't made any changes into the css files.

Here the link to my site: http://www.tritten-nuetzi.ch/news.html

Have a nice day!

Looked at the table that starts with this header

The # is aligned right, Beitragstitel & Datum have no alignment and default to left, and Zugriffe is aligned center. All the rows below these have the same alignment. Could it be the widths that have changed? The first one has 5% width, the Beitragstitel header has no width set thus it receives all that is not set(65%), the Datum header has 25% and the Zugriffe header has 5%. Which header do you wish to change the alignment of?

Thanks for the fast reply!

Yes the widths have changes I think. I can see that also by Firebug. Or: there is no width set for the second entry (Beitragstitel).
I wish to change the alignment and width respecively of "Beitragstitel" and "Datum".

It would seem to be a bug fix in 1.5.15 as the table was not displaying correctly in IE8. The bug history is here;
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=17110
There is a list of changes under the Files tab. If you wish to change the layout I think you would need t hack the core files(not recommended) or use a Override to create your own layout or possibly use the 1.5.14 file as an override.

Looking some more at the bug report, if you check the Commits tab and then in the Previous Version column you can see what files they changed and what lines of code. I would guess that if you used the 1.5.14 versions of those files as Override files you could change your layout back to the way it was. You may have issues with IE8 displaying the page though.

There is a download link to a tutorial on Overrides on this page
http://docs.joomla.org/Tutorial:Template_overrides

It is a tar file and after unzipping it it contains a odt file. I had to download a free viewer for this file type here
http://www.officeviewers.com/
If you have Open Office installed then you would not need a viewer.

There is more info on Overrides here

Seems that it is still a bug. Don't work in Firefox and in IE8. What do I have to do with these patches? Aren't they included into the newest version 1.5.15?!

You don't have to do anything with the patches, I only posted the links so you could see what changes were made to 1.5.15 that has effected your table display. I also posted links that try to explain Joomla's Override capability so that you could change your table display back to the old way it was without replacing/hacking any of Joomla's core files.

Have to read this about the override. Maybe I can find a solution there. It also didn't work with Firefox 3.5.5 and Opera 10.01.

Any others who have the same problem?!
