Topic: EZ Portal, Simple Portal and Tiny Portal side panel (block) alignment/misalign

[Cholo]

yeah but if we can we might as well figured it out.     What version of SP are you using, bc I just enabled blocks in the forum on my site and my blocks line like you want them to by default. 


edit:  I see you're running 2.3.1 and I have a top block enabled that the side blocks line up with.  K, hold on.

[Cholo]

Ok, my bad you're looking for:

:


#sp_right


{


vertical-align: top;


}


And you want to change it to:

:


#sp_right


{


vertical-align: top;
padding-top:30px;


}


You probably need to do a little bit more than 30px though.

Yeah, that did it. 33 is the magic number using my old eyes.


Thanks a lot for taking the time to play around with this. It was fun for me, I even learned a few things which is something for an old fart like me.

Np glad I could I help. Yeah, you could figure out the exact pixels or percentage to use by looking a little more closely at the code. I guess you should probably just double check how it looks on different screen resolutions.

Yeah, I should but all I have on this laptop are 1024 X 768 and 800 X 600. I also have a few wierd ones for a wide monitor. I checked in all of those and it's fine as far as alignment. Thanks again Cholo.

Firefox and Chrome (not sure which other browsers) have a zoom-in/out function that kind of lets you see the webpage at different resolutions. It's not exact, but is helpful and most of the time really close.  You just hit:

zoom-in: CTRL + +

zoom-out: CTRL + -

back to default: CTRL + 0

It works with FF, didn't try it with Chrome. If I zoom in quite a bit it does look a bit misaligned but I'm good with it. Thanks again.

[Cholo]

yep yep.  Ima mark this solved.

Well. SP just provided a new version, 2.3.2, so after upgrading, I had to come back here to get the code to fix the alignment again.
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this site as it made it so easy to fix my forums again.

Update April 1, 2011: Well, I just upgraded to SP to 2.3.3 so I had to come back and find the info to realign again. Thanks again for being here SMF Helper, you guys and gals are the greatest.
