Pro News affecting DF News Module

Hi all, it is a wonderful module! I like to use it for my site in addition to my DF module as I have about 200 aritcles on DF news modules. But when I activated it it affected the articles in DF module when view by IE but not Firefox. It moved/ or made a margin of the articles in DR News Module to the right. I can tell it caused by Pro News as when I activated the Pro News the problem came back and when I deactivated, the problem was gone.

Does anybody have any hints or suggestions! I would like to use both of the time for tow different purposes. Thanks for all the hard work.

Odd! Almost all the CSS styles that I use start with pn_ for just that reason. And the fact that it occurs only in IE is even more strange, as I only have 2 styles in pro_newsie.css, img-shadow and pn_menutree, so doubt any name conflict there.

I had a quick look, but I can't see anything. Obviously I'm only seeing it 1 way - with Pro_News disabled?

For more investigation, I'll need some more data. URL (I assumed angkorthom.us), exactly which margin changed (before and after partial screenshots would be good), which version of IE, the theme you are using, and who made it.

If you have FF3, do you have the Web Developer plug-in installed? If so please select Web Developer > CSS > View Style Information and roll your mouse over the problem area, and tell me which CSS styles are involved (they will display along the top of your browser pane). And if you click on the affected items it will display just the parts of the CSS relevant to that item. As you say it is a margin, I don't know if the issue will be outer or inner item relative to that margin. But the difference from FF to IE as well as with and without Pro_News should be visible.

PS. Just so you know, there is an Import facility from News? But please back everything up first!!!

Oh here I found something that might be helpful. It looks like all articles in DF News with <p> tag are affected. So I tested by removing <p> and replaced with <br /><br /> then they are OK.

I also imported these articles to Pro-News just for testing and it has the same affects. It seems like there are some links between Pro-News and News but like you said it is strange as it is only impacted with IE. FF is OK and I have not tested it with Opera yet. I used IE7.

You can see it here www.angkorthom.us/inde...amp;page=2 I fixed the front page with <br /> <br />

Let me knonw if you need me to do anything else. I like the module and I am setting it up to use it as a Wiki instead of using Mediwiki because it provides more options for graphics and embeding videos. I will use the whole Pro-News for Wiki and that is why I still want to keep DF News as my regular news module.

I'll report any bugs as this is going to be a wonderful module. Also, I found that the left part of the Menu block was cut off. Please see the picture below and this problem is even more odd, as it only happens with Pro-News module - not any other modules and it is OK with FF.

Hi, I ran FF Web Developer tool and it seems like one of Pronews .pn_padpanel h3, p crossed over to News module. Please see pictures below.

Thanks for the additional info, I'd just come to same conclusion.

Please try changing the line

.pn_padpanel h3, p {

to:

.pn_padpanel h3, .pn_padpanel p {

And let me know if this fixes it please.

It works like a magic! Awesome. Can you look at the Block issue for me too? Thanks a lot.

Re the menu block issue, I've been chasing around all afternoon and found nothing.

You are using IE7 right? The menu block displays for me correctly in IE 6 and IE7.

I know what must be causing it, but not why you are seeing it. Unless you still have an older version of the block code or index.php for Pro_News lying around. Let me explain:

IE 6 & 7 for some reason require dramatically different CSS margin settings for these menus than any other browser - 40px diff!

When the block is loaded it should link in both pro_news.css for all browsers and pro_newsie.css with fixes for IE6&7. So I can only assume that it is not loading the pro_newsie.css file for you for some reason.

Can you check View Source to see if both pro_news.css and pro_newsie.css are loaded when the problem occurs? If the pro_newsie.css file is not loaded, please check that you installed the latest /blocks/block-ProNews_Menu.php and /modules/Pro_News/index.php. (index.php loads the css files if Pro_News module is currently running, the block file loads it if it is not.)

TIA!

It is IE7. I checked the source and I found both of them loaded :

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="themes/default/style/pro_news.css" /><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="themes/default/style/pro_newsie.css" /><script type="text/javascript" src="modules/Pro_News/includes/scripts.js"></script>

It must be something with my site in the Pro-news module as when I viewed your site with the same browser, it your menu looks fine. When you mentioned the latest /blocks/block-ProNews_Menu.php, is the one in your download right now has the latest. I'll try to re-upload to see if there is any luck.

I'm sure it's a bug somewhere. But that part of /blocks/block-ProNews_Menu.php hasn't changed in a while. Can you use Web Developer again as before, and see what CSS is being used for the contents of the block, please?

And perhaps compare with what you see in Web Developer on my site?

Also go into Admin > Pro_News > Blocks and see if it is flagging anything odd.

TIA.

BTW, if you display Posted by, then you will want to further change that line in pro_news.css cited above to:

.pn_padpanel h3, .pn_padpanel p, .pn_padpanel div.pn_postby {

Hi!

Got similar problems here.

When going on the ProNews module the random picture box gets a big left margin. Or the images there are getting a big left margin.

Attaching a screenshot.

I am not familar with the webdeveloper plugin, i think the four small images are getting a big margin.

In addition, the random picture block goes to top but it should be the last block!

Would be glad to help. But I need the URL, which block exactly you are using, and which browser gives the problem.

It looks a bit as if you haven't applied the fix listed in this thread?

In pro_news.css look for:

.pn_padpanel h3, p {

and replace with:

.pn_padpanel h3, .pn_padpanel p, .pn_padpanel div.pn_postby {

The fix i have not applied. A link you can check : jeep4x4.net/Pro_News.html

Have activated temporary Pro_News for all.

OK, now appiled the fix, it works now OK. Many thx agn.
