login boxes in header!?

Ahhhh this is making me crazy....

So with the header login add on, when I set the configures for the layout sideboxes as stated in the read me...it's not visible at all. I don't know where it goes.

Right now I've set it to the right column because I don't know what else to do.

The other add on: login box, works fine. The only problem I'm having is that the positioning is changing when the website is viewed with different browsers. Can this be fixed?

Thank you.

Re: login boxes in header!?

You have some misplaced code. The form for the login is directly in #navColumnTwo, without a container or identifier, and its tags are misplaced, making it enclose all of the sideboxes after it.

<form>
  <div>
    <table>
    </table>
    <table>
    </table>
    </form>
  </div>

The </form> is inside the div, so it is not seen as ending the form; the browser ends the form when the div that encloses it (the whole sidebar) closes.

Re: login boxes in header!?

I'm sorry...I don't understand.

I just dropped the add on it. Where do I remove the codes? I looked in my stylesheet but it's not there and by the looks of it, it seems to be html coding? I don't know where to adjust that.

Thank you.

Re: login boxes in header!?

If this is about the login screen that is presently showing on the right column, that's how i received the file, I did not make any modifications.

How do I adjust?

Re: login boxes in header!?

For the sidebar form, you need to switch the </form> and </div> to </div> and </form>. Then maybe it will behave better.

The sidebox that is positioned in the header is built with <br> tags between all of the elements; if you want that to be horizontally aligned, you will have to edit its file and remove the <br> tags.

Re: login boxes in header!?

Yes I saw your previous note about the <form> and <div> tags. Do you know where i would change this? I have tried in the tpl_login_header.php but it didn't do anything...

So is there no way to set the login box (the one on top in the correct positon) to remain in the proper position when switching browsers?

For example, the links at the top(Home, Login/Register) are set to float right, they don't move. But when i try to float the login box, it gets all weird.

Re: login boxes in header!?

The login box in the header area is actually located in the sidebar code, so floating would have odd consequences.
You also have various containers set to position: relative, so the right sidebar would currently be the positioning reference for that login box.

Your main page code has errors that will cause unknown problems. The mainWrapper div is closed prematurely by an extra </div>, so the whole contentMainWrapper is outside mainWrapper. Get your HTML to validate and many of your problems may go away.

Re: login boxes in header!?

I appreciate your responses...but most times you don't help me and give vague suggestions. It's like answering my questions with a question. If I understood what you were talking about I would know where to begin to fix this.

Thanks anyway.

Re: login boxes in header!?

I can't be more specific because I don't know what your PHP files look like. There are numerous changes from standard, and I can't tell where they happen.

There are free HTML and CSS validators (Google for them) that will tell you what errors you have, and what line in your output contains them, with suggestions for how to fix them.

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ffunhn.com%2Fshop%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0

(The URL errors are not significant for you now, but there are others that you need to fix.)

Re: login boxes in header!?

I am using Firefox with the add ons and I'm sure there's validators there.

My initial question has never been answered directly. I just wanted to know if there is a way to be able to set the positioning and have it fixed. For example, the side boxes and the layout of the main page is fixed. Regardless of what browser you view the site it, the template adjusts.

The only thing that is not working fluidly is this login box.

Sorry I don't mean to be curt but I was up for a long time hitting refresh over and over on my browser for your response...and each time is was like a riddle. I know that you don't have to help so I do appreciate it. I'm just frustrated.

Re: login boxes in header!?

If I could just give an answer that would work, I would.
I don't know exactly why you are getting positioning problems, but I see a bunch of errors in the output that need to be found and fixed by someone who can see the PHP files.

Re: login boxes in header!?

Okay, I have updated and fixed all errors on my page. There is one link that needs to be deleted...but I don't know where to delete it. Other than that, there should be no errors on my page.

It does nothing to my login box setting.

Does anyone know how to do this??

Here's what I would like. A login box in my header that is stuck to my header and does not shift. The same as the sideboxes, center boxes, footer, etc.

I have installed both mods, login header and login box. And I just can't figure it out.

Absolute positioning works fine in Firefox...but when i view in other browsers, it does not stand true and the box shifts. :frusty:

Re: login boxes in header!?

You seem to have eliminated the headerWrapper in your changes.
There is only <div id="logoWrapper"> twice, the second time holding the logo and inside <form name="account_box", which is incomplete and not closed.
The first logoWrapper extends all the way to include navEZPages, and looks like it should be headerWrapper instead of logoWrapper.

I don't see the first login box at all on the page, but there are some odd stylings that distort the page.
