Hi,

As you can see on this page:
http://www.fibercom.com/newsite/index.php?option=com_content&view=frontpage&Itemid=1

The footer has a formatting problem.
This happens when I add a “read more” to the leading article.
When I remove that, the footer gets back to normal.
I inspected the code and I see that normally ja-navhelper and ja-footer are outside the ja-container DIV therefore are not affected by the
min-height:300px;
but when I add a “read more” to the leading article, somehow the DIVs ja-navhelper and ja-footer fall under the ja-container DIV and therefore loose their original formatting.

Did anyone else has a problem like this or is it just me?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I’m surprised no one else has run into this or already has a solution. Do you have a link to your site?

Hello smete,

You are missing 2 closing divs: </div></div>
When I add these 2 closing div’s before <!– //MAIN CONTAINER –> page jumps back to normal.

Good luck,
Micrantha

Thanks Micrantha so much for looking into this.
You’re absolutely correct but how do I close those divs?
Isn’t that supposed to happen with the existing php code?
If I take out the “read more” from the leading article, those divs come back in place and the page is displayed correctly. Maybe that can help you pinpoint where this whole thing goes wrong.

Do you have any idea why this happens only when a “read more is added to the leading article of a “frontpage blog” layout?
And do you have any idea how to fix it?

Hello,
Sorry, I don’t know. Read-more does not add div’s.
Did you change php-files in any way?
Maybe when you played around with width-configuration? Only a guess.
Default Ja-Purity-II does not show this problem.

Regards,
Micrantha

Thanks again Micrantha.
I’ve achieved the width configuration by only modifying .css files which should not affect the amount of </div> tags in the page. I shy away from touching the PHP as my knowledge is very limited. That is why I found a css only solution to the changing the width of the wrapper.

The only change I had made to the PHP was removing the screen resize buttons by modifying the header.php, I now changed that back to the way it was although the buttons did not come back.
I’ve also unpublished a lot of the modules as you can see, which maybe the reason why in the original JA_Purity II install this problem doesn’t show up. What do you think?

I’ll try enabling the modules one by one to see if anything changes.

In the meantime, to fix the missing </divs> temporarily, I’ve added
</div>
</div>
right above <!– //MAIN CONTAINER –> in default.php (because I’m using “default” as my choice of “default layout” under template configurations of JA_Purity II) which made default.php look like
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!– //MAIN CONTAINER –>

As a result the page with the front page blog layout got fixed

while all the other pages got messed up around the footer area.

So now I am reverting those changes back to the way it was.

I really hope someone can shed some light on this issue.

I solved, there were some errors with DIV tags on my pages before the “Read More” tag. Check your pages, you should solve

Hey guys,

Try comparing your files with the original ones (use a WinMerge or Beyond Compare software solution). This will instantly highlight the missing code from BLOCKS folder, because this is where I think your problems reside.

Danny

I did not made modifications to php files, I only changed a few things in CSS files. My problem was on my articles. Try to disable those article and activate them one by one to see which one has errors

The problem IS in the article itself, ONCE the readmore is added.

Here is the HTML code. Bold code is what I added to solve the problem. I didn’t delete anything. Such a simple mod. As you can see the only thing I did was to close all the DIVs before the READ MORE and reopen them after.

Since I copy pasted the text to the WYSIWYG editor, I didn’t know what was going on with the code code inside the article and was stupid enough not to check. I wish WYSIWYG editor did this by itself whenever a READ MORE is inserted but here it is finally solved.

Thanks to all who replied, in particular Radu81.
