The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.Hi Matt,
I tried Views Rotator with a simple two text nodes to rotate. The rotate part worked fine, but the display overlapped content below. I experimented with various css settings and placing the block in various regions and it always did the same thing. Maybe it works better for an image, but I didn't try using images.
Thanks

mfer commentedThere are a few components to this. First, this does happen and it's something I've written about in the documentation. There is a setting for the region height that needs to be set.
In the next alpha release, coming later this week, there will be an option (in views) to set the regions height (already there) or you can leave the option blank and it will try to auto detect the size.
Look for the next alpha release and the updated documentation when that happens to help.

mfer commentedThis is fixed in the development codebase and will be out in the next release. If the height is left blank (the new default option) views rotator will try and detect the height of the largest sub element and set the region height to that size.

Right now, I'm preparing to evacuate New Orleans.

ldekay commentedThis bug report apparently needs to be reopened because we seem to be seeing the problem in IE7 running in XP Pro 2002; see attached screen capture. It seems to work fine in current browsers (IE8, Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome) but one of my users reported the problem on her work computer. Any suggestions other than just turn off Views Rotator?
I hope it doesn't involve mucking about in css or other code, I'm a bust at that!
Thanks

ldekay commentedSeeing the same content overlap problem in a Drupal test site on any browser. I have even set the regions height specifically but still get overlap. I've also tried moving the block into a User region above Top Content (Salamander Skins theme) and it doesn't seem to communicate to the user region height parameter, so the default user region height allows the Rotator to overlap content in the Top Content region. Attaching two images showing each case.
