Great concept for a module, unfortunately it broke my google map and scrolling text on my home page so I disabled it. Just in case you want more detail the page is a panel page with the gmap module and acquia marina theme.

Something very strange is going on here! Was your issue missing gmap markers - it's best to give more description than "it broke my google map" :)

Anyhow I enabled panels, gmap, acquia marina and all the modules that they require and created a panel page on my site. The markers disappeared on the panel page when I switched the theme. I disabled the floating_block module and they came back. Then I re-enabled them and they stayed... have a look http://dev.vit-al.co.uk/floating_block/gmap_panels - it's working.

More info on how it broke it would be great.

Thanks,

Alex

No, just got the "you need javascript..." message. Plus, as I said another of my modules that require jquery stopped working. I would enable it for you but it breaks the jquery scrolling text block on every page.

This patch changes the javascript to take a slightly different approach that should fix the issues with javascript from other modules not working on the floated blocks. Basically instead of cloning the blocks it changes their css properties to fix them in place when necessary. This should have less side effects.

After further testing of the patch I found a few issues and have addressed them in this patch. Specifically this deals with the re-attachment of the floating block behaviour when the page is updated via ajax.

THANK YOU for the patch - it was just was I was after. I have some jquery that I was using to alter some CSS in the sidebars and whenever I had the floating_block module enabled on my sidebar it was breaking. But applying your patch seems to have done the trick.

Cheers!
