Format issues with reboot.

I am having issues with the new theme. 

Signatures not showing up.  The line appears but the actual sig does not.

Embeds being cutoff:

Quotes not showing up properly:  the boundaries do not show.  They show when you quote, but not when you actually view the post.

Additionally, is there a way to stop how many times a quote shows up?  When you have long threads, people tend to keep quoting each other and it creates a mess.  This used to happen in our other forum, however that was fixed.  I believe the max quotes displayed was around 5?  This new theme looks great so far though.  Just need to fix these issues.

These two issues are almost certainly going to be a knock-on from your WordPress theme. We can help you with them but will need to see them in your forum page so is it possible to give us a link to actual examples and, as non-registered users, will we be able to see them?

The issue with embedded quotes is a difficult one. We have thrown this against the wall many, many times in an attempt to come up with a good solution but so far it has really evaded us. Sure there are some hard options we could make bit we are really hoping to find a neat and elegant solution. So – so far I am afraid – we don’t have an improvement.

Yes, I have the open forum up and you do not need to be registered.  I created a test post there and you should see the two issues.  www.ohhtee.com

Here’s another issue which has popped up:

When on your phone, the rate icon is misplaced and clips into the post area.

Forgot, another issue is with posting images.  When you post an image there is long empty space underneath the actual image.

As a rule we d not register on peoples sites but ask the user to create an account we can use. Can you do this for us please…?

If so please PM credentials to both myself, to ‘Mr Papa’ and ti ‘Ike’. Please include in the PM a link to your site, a link to this thread and brief reminder of the problem. And one of us will take a look for you.

Actual URLS to specific posts would be useful to save time as well thanks.

Hey Alex,

Glad you are enjoying the theme on the whole.. 

I have noted the embedded media problem and will open a ticket to get this resolved, in the mean time it’s a quick fix. If you’re not interested in making a child theme right away it shouldn’t matter in this case as the next time Reboot is updated it should contain the change.

Firstly open reboot.php from the themes style folder, then locate the line:

#spMainContainer .spPostContent iframe

Remove the width: 100% and height: 100% so the rule should look like:

#spMainContainer .spPostContent iframe {
    max-width:100%;
}

Also thanks for the info on the quotes within quotes. I’ve made another note here and again this will be fixed. All you need to do here is change the border rule in the stylesheet, or the colour associated with the $postQuoteBorder in the overlay – again this will be updated so it shouldn’t matter too much if you change the stock theme or make a child.

Again, in reboot.php, find the line:

#spMainContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostSection .spPostContentSection .spPostContent blockquote

It’s probably easiest to change the border rule, so change it from:

border: <?php echo($postQuoteBorder); ?>;

To something like:

border: 3px solid #ffffff;

Or if your feeling adventurous, you can find $postQuoteBorder in the overlay you’re using and change the value associated with it. For the future, if you decide to make a custom or child theme of Reboot the latter is the correct way!

I’ve also made a note of the rate icons on mobile, although I don’t have time to look in to that one right now. If there is a straight forward fix like the above then I will add to this topic, if it’s a little more complicated it will probably have to wait until the next update.

As for the picture problem you mentioned, could you add one to the test thread you have there so we can take a look?

Really not sure what to say on the signatures, perhaps either Andy or Steve might know a good place to start looking, they are definitely working as you can see here!

The two fixes worked great!  Here’s the direct link to how a picture is showing up: http://www.ohhtee.com/forum/guests/test-picture/#p13227

Also, here’s another issue:

As you can see, the likes bleeds over once it passes double digit likes.

On the space beneath the image issue I find it hard to understand the description ‘long empty space’! There is a section under every post reserved for plugin display output which, I note, has a minimum height set of 40px. I am asking around here why it is set as a min-height and why the height is not just set at auto. So we will have to see what happens on that score. But you could remove it and then see what happens! Bit it so only 40px. Let me know if you want the edit details.

Om the signature question – are the posts you linked us to so far supposed to show a signature – i.e., has one been defined?

That picture was just one example.  The length underneath may vary.  Some are not too long, and then there are some that you can scroll and not even see the picture any longer.  I may try and edit it and see how it looks, but I do believe making it auto may be best as the length underneath has varied. 

Here’s one to show what I mean:

You can see that the picture is at the top and I have a long empty space, which I have to continue scrolling to get to the next post.  My monitor is 37 inches so you can understand how long the space is…

 

Signatures:

There was one user who has a sig in that link, however all users who have signatures have the same issue.  The line shows up for the signature, though the actual signature beneath it will not show.

Phones theme:

We cannot scroll when using our phones.  I thought it was just that the theme does not support it, however I can scroll when i’m on your site using my phone.  On my Iphone I can get to the top by just touching the top.  I cannot do this on my site.  Is this a setting, or this something that is just not working properly?

Long space beneath an image: OK – so that is long! Again afraid it is something we would need to see on the website. That is the only way to interrogate the source being generated and display the element layouts and applied styling. So far this is a unique report and I still suspect something else in play here.

Signature: Can you tell me which one has the signature? – again so I can look at the generated HTML and CSS.

Phone Scrolling: No setting. What phone, OS and browser are you trying with? Might be relevant, Otherwise it is possibly a conflict with other mobile scripts causing it to freeze.

Here is the link to two pictures:  http://www.ohhtee.com/forum/guests/test-picture/#p13246

In this link the user Slpr has a sig which does not show up: http://www.ohhtee.com/forum/guests/test-page/

Phone:  I use an Iphone, others use androids, and neither of us can use the scroll.  Scrolling works when I use it when i’m on your site.

Yellow, don’t know if it helps or not, but when I was testing the theme on my staging server I noticed the huge space under pictures as well, it seems to be coming from pictures that are large like 3000×4000, so I went in and entered smaller constraints and it fixed the issue
