Plugin seems to break template layout

focuz 16 Jan, 2009
Please visit universalcf dot com

You will notice my login on top is perfectly aligned, however when looking at the contact us page the submit button is down to far. Now I can bring it up using CSS however it will bring it up to far on the regular content pages.

Using joomla 1.5.9 and the chronomambot loading the contact form through an article so the end user can easily modify text within the article. I do have a different custom module on the right for this page however even if I disable it, the issue remains, leading the chronoform plugin the one causing the issue.

Hi focuz,

This looks fine to me. There are sometimes problems in the interactions between the ChronoForms css and template css. These usually result from stray <div>, problems with height:auto, problems with non-specific css in ChronoForms like .left and problems with <div class='clear'> </div>

These can be very tricky to deal with as the interactions are subtle and many files can affect the layout. If in doubt rebuild your own css.

Well the content looks good, its the user login submit button on the top right that gets misaligned.

Its not to bad and normally I wouldn't worry about it however the website is for a very professional business so everything must be perfect.

Hi focuz,

if you didn't fix it yet I want to let you know that a new Chronoforms update will be available soon with new unique CSS which should not interfere with template CSS easily.

How would I fix this until the new upgrade. You said I could use unique CSS, how would I set this up.

Hi focuz,

the form HTML code generated has many CSS classes names, you will need to change them and edit the CSS file, this is not an easy job, if you are in a hurry then get some HTML editor and create your form using it then use the HTML code of the form to build a new one, very easy!

Cheers
