[#5396] middle tabs alignment, activity module size, activity steam links -- link

Hello CB,

I hope you don't mind me putting all of these issues together. The middle tabs issue arrived today the others have been persistent - yet I have found no solutions.

I am running on everything latest versions and updates.

1. Just my middle tabs are not displaying fully horizontal. (other tab positions seem to be fine) See attachment 1.

2. I use this (activity module + CB) on two sites with the same template and majority of settings, template settings I believe are the same. Yet the activity module displays at different sizes for each. Attachment 2 & 3...

3. Putting a link in the activity stream or by inserting a web address into the sharing a link option has the desired effect but the link goes to www.mywebsite/thelinkedwebsite , bringing about internal server error 500.

Suspect maybe some parts may be template related, but maybe not, be great to get your feedback anyway and any possible fixes/suggestions.

Kind regards

I don't see any issue in your screenshot. What are you expecting them to display like? The tabs just flow inline 1 after another and will overflow to a new line if needed. They will not be perfectly and equally sized.

There is no limit to the stream size. It's entirely based off its container. If you're using the module then you need to use a module position that gives it enough room or it's going to look squashed. Same for component content container. This should all be configurable from your template. The module sizing is also affected by the bootstrap parameters in the modules parameters, but that's all handled by Joomla so whether it does anything or not is up to the template.

3. Putting a link in the activity stream or by inserting a web address into the sharing a link option has the desired effect but the link goes to www.mywebsite/thelinkedwebsite , bringing about internal server error 500.

You need to provide a live site URL. Meaning it needs to include the full domain. Aside from that maybe you've a SEF extension or URL rewrite rule in htaccess that could be altering the URLs as there is no code in CB Activity to prefix shared URLs with Joomlas live_site and am unable to confirm in multiple tests.

Thanks Kyle.

Ok, with links on stream, when I put in the http:// it works correctly. Does it not pick up its absence and adjust?So if www.whateversite.com type in their domain as they would know it well without having to copy and paste - they get system 500 errors on their links. Is there a setting to rectify that at all? Auto action or something I wonder.

I can live with taking out the link sharing option but users could always just write links. When a user simply writes a link into the stream (without http://) it goes to this: www.mywebsite.com/index.php/cb-profile/userprofile/www.linkedwebsite.com - maybe a clue.

The tabs should align horizontally and overflow yes - but in this case they shouldn't overflow. See new attachment where they stack up unnecessarily in middle position but fine on the position below.

(Both modules are set to top_right position. The right positions of the template are set at the same size. Ok weird, set to right position and all is good, apologies should have tried this before posting, most definitely template setting).

@media (min-width: 768px)
.cb_template .col-sm-5 {
width: 41.66666667%;
}

In com_comprofiler/plugin/templates/default/bootstrap.css. If I disable the width the tab row (middle position tabs) go back to normal (like the row below it in attachment). Never like messing with these @media types - does this seem like a logical and appropriate solution for this to you?

Edit: I got the above from Inspecting the Element on Chrome.

Ah, ok I understand your issue. Was able to confirm and have created a bug ticket to fix for next bug fix release.

Looks like you're using Canvas Main Left, which is designed to be at that size. Use a different position and it should display fine.

Cool I found a bug!

I don't use canvas main left or right. This only happened today everything was fine yesterday. I did a bit of work on uddeim last, last night (configuration, uploaded some modules in extension manager, additional templates with ftp).

Think there's something up with my middle positions and to compound the situation it has occured on two separate yet similar websites I'm working on.

I dunno, I'll have a look at/try taking out all middle positions and replacing with some other position to see if that works..Oh I can't actually as there isn't a spare one that is full length.

I'll have a root around knowing that Middle position has canvass main settings should give me a compass point. Any other ideas welcome.

Kind regards
