I see it's weird too, after clicking login button it doesn't show me anything else than the login box.

I just tried with the inloginfo i send you and it is working fine.

It should work now .... the site was offline ...so you probably have seen the login from the frontend part.

I can access the site now, please try adding this code to CSS Override to fix the issue:
Code: Select all
input[type="password"], input[type="text"], input[type="email"], input[type="www"], input[type="tel"], input[type="url"], input[type="search"], select, .inputbox{
height: auto!important;
}

Let me know if it helps.

I tried what you suggested and added the line to the override.css

Code: Select all
/* Here you can include your override CSS styles */

    input[type="password"], input[type="text"], input[type="email"], input[type="www"], input[type="tel"], input[type="url"], input[type="search"], select, .inputbox
    {
    height: auto!important;
    }


Unfortunatly it didnt help :(

And on a sidenote I have found another 'bug' ....
If i want all articles to have the title and black circle with the post date then all is fine .... but now i have one article i dont want to have a title and this black circle displayed. So i went to the article options and put everything on "no" or "hidden" .... all is gone then, except for the black circle with the posting date ...it just wont go away. (it can be seen when choosing the menuitem 'Portfolio')

I think i kind of solved it .....

The problem was caused by a line in joomla.css

I changed ...

Code: Select all
.inputbox { background: #fbfbfb; border-color: #9a9a9a #dadada #e4e4e4; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; color: #555; font: normal 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; height: 28px; line-height: 28px; padding: 1px 12px; }


into

Code: Select all
.inputbox { background: #fbfbfb; border-color: #9a9a9a #dadada #e4e4e4; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px; color: #555; font: normal 12px Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; height: auto!important; padding: 1px 12px; }


It solved the problem with the textarea's, but i have no idea if it might cause problems elsewhere. Please let me know if you do know of any new problems this change will cause.

I don't see the file override.css loaded in your site, you seem to have not enabled Override mode in template setting so the change in that file does not affect, you should turn it on and to use instead of changing in joomla.css because it may be gone after updates..

Thanks Don .... in my hurry to see if it worked i had forgotten to put CSS override on.

But isnt override.css also overwritten during an update?

Anyway .....it seems the problem with the textareas is solved this way. I added a slightly adjusted line-height to make it even better.

Thanks for your great help Don, i can now scratch one open item from my to-do list :)
