Hi,
When I try to use the front end submit article feature, or the front end edit, the layout is broken. The editor window runs across the page, outside of the template, and keeps going for another screen. It looks like the editor buttons are all lined up rather then stacked in rows like they are in the new article area. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I am running Joomla 1.5.20 and am using the ja-purity template.

Thank you.

David

Does anyone still monitor this support forum?

Hi David,

Thank you for your post.

Would you be so kind to include the following information:

(1.) Editor version
(2.) Browsers type & Version
(3.) A screen shot on the issue


Thanks,


Paul

editor: 3.3.1
browser: IE 8

The screen shot shows it going under the banner, which is the edge of the page, and then it goes on for about another page width. This happens on the front end for edit or submit article. It works fine on the back end.

I just changed the width in the plugin parameters (from 100% to 670px) and that seems to have fixed it. Will setting the width cause any issues?

Hi dbg20,

Thank you for point this out to us and we will seek to address this in the next release.

Please find below a simply fix which will allow you to define width on the editor on the front-end and still allow you to keep the 100% value for editing the backend. I have set it to 670px but feel welcome to a just it to fit your template needs. You should be able to simply copy and paste it to your /templates/ja_purity/css/template.css style-sheet.




Kind regards,


Paul

Is there an advantage to keeping the back end at 100%?

Yes - if you need it to expand to fit your browser size.

What line number should I place that on?

Hi dbg20,

You should be able to simply copy and paste it to your /templates/ja_purity/css/template.css style-sheet.
In this way it will only control the editor on the front-end. This can be applied on any line.

Thanks,
