In IE7, IE8 Articles appear shrinked in width

hi,

well i used game magazine as a template for my site, although it looks quite different already.

Here is my problem:
-------------------------
everything works out sweet in any kind of browser except for IE7 & IE8... (see pics attached)

problem is, as one can see below, the width of articles shinks to about 50% and i'm running out of ideas as to why??

can u give me any advice on how to solve this.

thanx in advance

Hi,

Go to Menu Manager and configure "About", add an additional class for it, let's say "aboutclass".

Then add this code to file: \gk_game_magazine\css\layout.css

Code: Select all

.aboutclass #gkContent{
width: 100% !important;
}


Then let me know if it helps!

hey don!!

thx a million!! whilest u were posting this reply i figured a solution myself. did a similar thing...

i put the following in ie8.css, since the problem of shrinked width occured for all articles.

Code: Select all

#gkContent{ width: 100% !important; }

did the trick, although not sure if its a neat solution

have a nice one

hey again...

well the thing i posted before worked... for all article pages, of course but
of course destroyed the column arrangement of the frontpage... so not good

so i tried your proposed way, but didn't do anything... any ideas?

hope u dont mind asking, but might there be a solution where i dont have to put a suffix into every article?

thx in advance

I already knew about that before replying you so I suggested you to use suffix class to not affect to homepage layout.

Ok I now have a new solution for you, that's to keep what you have done before, and create a suffix class for your homepage then use this plus code:

Code: Select all

   .myclass #gkContent{ width: 45% !important; }


If you can't make it work, just PM me your FTP account then I will try for you.

I am having the same problem as well. Have the template files been updated to correct this issue yet??

Hi chanson,

So have you fixed it? I've reported the bug to dev already but I don't know if they have fixed, we can try upgrading to latest version to check as well.

It's not fixed yet, I am going to try full upgrade to 2.5. I must say this is very disappointing with continued template issues.

I'm sorry for that, please post your issues here then I will try to help you out, a site URL will be needed to debug also.

Thanks,
