Hi, and thanks for taking the time to look at this. We're not hosted yet, so took your advice and looked at the page with firebug. It seems that there's an empty <div id="bottomshadow"/> that when removed gets rid of the space. Does that help at all?

Dave

Sure. Now you just need to figure out were the bad code is being added. Unpublish your modules one by one and of course look over any additional code you may have added to the templates index.php file. Lots of times WYSIWYG editors will add a lot of garbage as well so look over your content, or make a static page with minimal styling and try it on there. It's probably a module of some sort, but thats just a guess.

Re:template graphics layout 4 Months, 1 Week ago Karma: 0  
Hi again - looks like it could related to the length of content being added.

I progressively removed modules, then content and menus until there was nothing bar template stuff left, plus reinstalled template to make sure i was working with a clean version. Still saw the problem

Then tried progressively adding content so the content was longer/taller than the background images. Once the content grew beyond the image sizes the bottom shadow appeared in the right place.


Some of my pages are going to have short content, so I'm wondering as a workaround (short of deleting the bottom shadow) if there's a way of forcing the content or sidebar divs to be a minimum height ?

Hi,

This is caused by the minheight set on the main wrapper, this was to overcome a funny effect when the template loaded based on how the shadows work. If you just add another 3 lines of content or a module it will look fine.

Well this is not ideal we need to keep the structure, so best aproach is to reduce the min height as follows:

Look in template.css / template_css.css for the following

Code:

body #wrapper {
background:transparent url(../images/bottom-bg_2.gif) no-repeat center bottom;
min-height:800px;
}



TO

Code:

body #wrapper {
background:transparent url(../images/bottom-bg_2.gif) no-repeat center bottom;
min-height:600px;
}



If that does not work, try min-height: 500 or 400

Thanks - that looks like a good workaround. I might add some more stuff to the sidebar to make sure the page is always long enough, even if the main content is short.

Just want to say thanks for all your help, and for being so responsive, I very much appreciate it.
