I am trying out your super theme on localhost. For some reason all right side blocks are appearing at the bottom of the page below all the content. This happens only on the home page. The blocks appear correctly on all other pages.

I have another (possibly stupid) question. How did you display that picture on your Demo1 in the Banner Upper block.

Thanks,
Gerry

Thank you for kind words.

Regarding right side blocks being pushed down, could you please provide some additional information. Which browser are you using? Is something specific about front page?
I guess that either content or sidebar column expanded its width (or padding/margin), which prevented a fit in to the container. Could you, please, check if there is a piece of content on front page that could cause this?

As for the image on the site, it is a simple block with following body:

  <img src="/files/images/demo/image_01.jpg" width="726" height="194" alt="demo image 01" />

Block is configured to show on this page only.

Thanks,

I have demoted possibly troublesome content from the front page but the problem persists. I have no problem using the original Foliage theme (three columns) I use on our live site. I have moved all my left side blocks to the right side block while using Artists C01 .

Thank You for the image tip. It would be nice to allow for an image in the header area.

I would like to find why are you experiencing this issue. If you have same content on some live site, could you, please, post a link.

Where would you like to be able to put an image in the header? Is it above everything or below site name/slogan?

I have a live (test) site using your theme http://stanislausbandra.in. This has fresh content and DB Everything works very nicely on this site.

However when I change the theme on our live site http://stanislites.or that uses the Foliage theme I experience the errors I have stated. I will send you a link to our test site for our Alumni site.

It will be great to have a transparent image in the header behind site name, slogan and logo. A possible wish list

1. Have more than one logo in the header-left and right- ideally place the logo anywhere in the header.
2. Site name and Slogan: have the ability to move it around in the header (say) center, right, left or maybe have the ability to move the Site name and slogan independent of each other.

Again, Thank You for this great theme.

Gerry

I could not reproduce it so far. However, I have an idea.

Could you please try it without nice_menus and tell me if it works?

I would also appreciate page html that breaks the layout. Just do Save as... from the browser and attach it.

Thank you.

I have disabled nice_menus on my localhost which is basically identical to my live site. I have attached the home page on localhost. This is happening only on the home page. All other pages appear correctly.

Thanks

I think I found it:)

It was teaser for node titled "Breakfast Meeting Highlights" all along. Drupal split the article in a way that left <div class="content">Congratulations to all the participants, volunteers, the presenter and the leads. without closing </div>.

This have broken whole page XHTML structure.

If I may suggest, avoid using divs in node content. Use <span> or <p> instead. Since teaser splitter does not care about XHTML structure, you'll still often get non-valid XHTML, but layout structure will remain intact.

There is also a way to split it manually - see http://drupal.org/node/176829.

Hope that this resolved the issue.

Thanks,

That seems to have been the problem. I demoted that particular content and the home page appears OK on localhost.

The problem being, content is user generated; I have no control how the user formats his text. In this case the user formats his text in MS Word and pastes it into Tinymce editor. Any ideas?

One other issue is png images with transparent backgrounds. They appear OK in Frefox which is my primary browser. However in IE6 and Safari the backgrounds appear white as can be seen on http://stanislausbandra.in (look at the logo and the image on the right bottom)

It is pronounced while using Safari and the Mac OS . I am not sure how it displays in IE7.

Thank You for your help.

I'm planning to add IE fix for transparent backgrounds to the theme. That should solve the issue with IE 6.

However, I looked to http://stanislausbandra.in and it seems like logo image does not actually have transparent background.

As for user input, there is good input filters infrastructure in Drupal. You can use http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/filter as a starting point. http://drupal.org/node/176829 could also be useful.

Since this issue originally was about broken layout, I'm going to close it soon. Could you, please, post any additional bug report/feature or support requests as new issue.

This makes it much easier for me to track.
