Different Page Positions for two pages in Mother Earth Template

Hi

Just wanted to ask if anybody else had come across this within the Mother Earth Template, I have configured most of what I need but the whole pages for Gift Certificate FAQ and Newsletter Unsubscribe, are positioned slightly to the right of all of the other pages making them look a little out of sinc. I have looked exhaustively at the CSS Stylesheet I cannot see where I would re-position them. Has anybody come across this and if so how did you re-align the pages to be in-line with all of the other pages, where is this controlled on the CSS Stylesheet.

A link to the site where this is happening would save us from having to install that template to advise.

Hi Steve

Thanks for replying, the site is https://www.ecocave.co.uk and the two pages misaligned are site map and gift certificates FAQ, its pretty basic at present so it is difficult to believe that anything I have done could have caused it, I would like to hear your thoughts.

Re: Different Page Positions for two pages in Mother Earth Template

Hi

I seem to have found the issue, for some reason when I used the define pages editor, I also inserted images into the HTML and varying amounts of HTML for each page. It would seem that for some reason with the Mother earth template, many of the pages are much shorter that with the standard template install and where I have inserted HTML which has expanded the pages lengths and those pages which now require scroll bars to view the page, the pages then start becoming misaligned with the pages which are shorter in length, I have a feeling it may have something to do with the preset 750px default sizes on the CSS but would like to hear if anybody else has experienced this before.

Your site is password protected, but there isn't much you can do about the scrollbar issue other than force all the pages to be long enough to need them, which displays a lot of white space on the shorter pages.

Hi Steve

Unfortunately I was out a bit today and as the site is not live yet I thought it best to secure it with password protection however my question is one that applies in general, in terms of the two files:

includes/languages/english/gv_faq.php and:

includes/templates/template_default/templates/template_gv_faq_default.php

How would you suggest I go about either lengthening the length of the page here or adding an image to the page, I have tried a few different ways now with absolutely no joy, is there some php that will just slot in here or HTML, I have tried both in numerous ways and the page just freaks out. I also looked over at the CSS file but there doesnt seem any way to lengthen this without a knock on effect to other pages.

Re: Different Page Positions for two pages in Mother Earth Template

Try adding this to the body rule in your stylesheet.css:

overflow-y:scroll;

Hi Steve

Really interesting solution to introduce the scroll bar, it has resolved the misalignment on the pages and all of the content on the other pages is right where it should be, sincerest thanks for your help on this.

Regards

Dan
