Recent Topics Block

PostAuthor: MWE_001 » Tue Dec 30, 2008 7:29 am

I just recently encountered a problem. My recent topics block was good to go then suddenly, it is now like 600 tall and it is only supposed to be 200 tall according to code. The recent topics do scroll as I have it set to do, but they go half way up it and thats it. The rest of the block on top of all that remains, blank. However the title and borders and everything are working accordingly.

What did I do to remedy the situation? I uploaded a fresh copy of recent topics block form IM Portal and no go. It is still stretched out real bad. Now beings how this is a Integramod theme Im using that I made work with Im Portal, I uploaded a block from Integramod package and still the same ol situation.

To have a look, click my sig. the block is on the lower right hand side.

you may have this block installed twice. here is your view code

[code=html]  <table>     <tr>         <th>Recent Topics</th>     </tr>     <tr>         <td><table>     <tr>         <td><span>                 <marquee>                     </marquee>                 <marquee>                         &raquo; <a><b>The Arcade</b></a><br>             by <a>DjPorkchop</a> on Tue Dec 30, 2008 12]

try backing up your blocks table in your db and then remove all references to the latest topics block, empty your cache and then reinstall the block

Did all of that and reinstalled and still, the block is a mile high. I had this happen on another website with the blogs block and could never figure it out so we just ended up disabling it.

I have been chasing my tail on this one for a few days now.

I dont know what would cause the marquee to appear twice. try disabling the scroll function in the acp and see if the block returns to proper size

yeah I definately know what you mean about the marquee twice. I turned off scroll and it is still the same way.

here is my block tpl

Code: Select all
<table>     <tr>         <td><span>         <BEGIN>         <marquee>             <BEGIN>             &raquo; <a><b>{scroll.recent_topic_row.L_TITLE}</b></a><br>             by <a>{scroll.recent_topic_row.S_POSTER}</a> on {scroll.recent_topic_row.S_POSTTIME}<br><br>             <END>         </marquee>         <END>         <BEGIN>             <BEGIN>             &raquo; <a><b>{static.recent_topic_row.L_TITLE}</b></a><br>             by <a>{static.recent_topic_row.S_POSTER}</a> on {static.recent_topic_row.S_POSTTIME}<br><br>             <END>         <END>         </span></td>     </tr></table>

that is correct. I deleted the IM Portal Cache, then went into Extreme styles and deleted the cache by clicking on dark instead of clearing all and then I cleared my browser of any cookies, temp files, browsing history etc etc and turned off my PC and got a drink came back and got back on pc went to the stie and there it was, <img> still stretched.

I went back to my database for another look and there is only 1 entry for the block. there is nothing out of the ordinary at all.

I have a similiar issue, but it's in my mini-calendar in my footer. Lines appear twice.

Could you check something for me?

Does it do it on both the portal and the index page?

Mine is ok on portal page and doubles on the index page.

Thinking this would give someone a better idea on where to identify an issue.
