TOPIC: avatars are off but their area remains

ey there
i dunno a better way to describe this so

check that empty space on the right

there is ( i think ) the time only written in white there

i removed all extrasin the layout tab so i dunno what is causing this

regards

Do you a link to your site?
What version etc are you on?

I also had this issue, and it turned out to be something simple. If I remember correct, I believe this is the template.

If you are using the latest Comment version (RC) then the only template that works correctly is the Modern one.
This is due to some XSS security trouble.

Could you test out the default Modern template?

here is a link : www.handasiah.com/index.php?option=com_c...emid=116#CommentForm

dunno but i dont think thats the problem because it was working fine couple of days ago...
i did change something but i dont remmber what

version is : !JoComment 4.0 beta2

You are using myModern template.
Could you test the Modern template?

Upgrading does not remove custom templates.

But, you should upgrade to the latest version due to this XSS security issue.

Also, if you could adjust your date settings?
At the moment it defaults to %Y as the first entry.
If you swap that with the last part of the date so it is %d%m%Y then perhaps it helps...

I am trying to remember why the time falls to the next line here, but I hope you can test out the previous suggestion to it (%d etc).

Also, I see the base CSS has a padding insertion that also effects this.

Take a look at: www.handasiah.com/templates/ja_sanidinei...ght/css/template.css

On line 103, you have: padding-right: 30px;

Perhaps try to change that to 5 or 10.

When I turn off the avatar setting from backend, then the text defaults correctly back to the start position, as it should.

Do you have gravatar support turned on?

ok i upgraded the component
did that date thingy

didnt work


but when changing the to default custumized template
it did

thanks for all the help m8
but in what effect will that have on the layout of the comments ?

Well, the old templates are not really speaking the same language anymore to the new stuff needed for security issues in the latest version.

So it will be only bits and pieces that will be taken into use.
Which is why JonusC will be rebuilding the old templates so they will be compatible again.

Yes you will have to take the new modern from RC1 and create a new custom template from it, do not use the old one. It's OK to do this now, because 4.0 RC1 is probably the last release. The new 4.1 we are working on will use a completely different template system.

problem is solved with Nils Ally suggestion
thanks jonusc for contributing in the answer
