Having a conflict with simplepress

Posted in: Newsmag

loving this theme, only issue I am seeing is when I go to add or edit a post on our forum, normally when you add a post a text area drops down at the bottom of the forum with the tinymce editor, I used it with newspaper no problem, with newsmag, when I hit add or edit, the menu seems to slide up behind the header and menu and the texteditor shows right below the menu, like this

I made a thread on the simple-press forum about it and this was their reply

W

e do use an anchor at the editor start point with the name of ‘dataform’ – perhaps not a great name but over all these years it has never been an issue. The routine scrolls to that anchor in the HTML and then a small script is called to open the hidden form. Now in my experience that will open the editor section somewhere in the current viewport but not usually at the very top.
I would be tempted to ask the theme authors why it is scrolling to the very top.

any suggestions?

Hi,

Can you try with this CSS, add it in Theme panel -> Custom CSS

.td-pb-row [class*="td-pb-span"] {
margin-bottom: auto !important;
padding-bottom: auto;
}

Thanks for the message!

this fixed the issue, but it is created a huge gap on the bottom, some reason it had a padding on the bottom of 99999px in the content and the footer, so I changed the auto in your code to 0 and it seems to have fixed that issue, thank-you for your help!

one last question on simple-press, the quote function for the theme is over riding the quote function of the forum, centering it, etc, is there anyway to over ride that without over riding the whole theme?

Hi,

Can you please send us an example of this, I need to inspect this so I can provide a solution for it.

Thanks

here you go, you can see several examples on this forum post, also it has a weird scroll affect, instead of going right to the postit goes to the top of the page and scrolls down it, I have never seen that before, any suggestions for that as well?

Hi,

Use this css to target the blockquotes pararaphes and overwrite the theme’s styles: http://screencast.com/t/f806sTQQ9
#spMainContainer .spBodyContainer .spTopicPostSection .spPostContentSection blockquote p{
color: white;
}

Regarding the scrolling can you be mare specific as I’m not sure I understand and haven’t noticed anything.

Thanks

Hey Lucian, works good thanks!

As far as the scrolling, if you look at the footer there is a list of recent posts, the links are directly for the last posts in the thread, normally, you click the link and it takes you directly to that last post, newsmag (for me anyways) when you click on a link, it takes you to the top of the thread and then the page scrolls down to the last post, thank-you.

Hey Lucian, I think the issue is the smart sidebar, it is treating the forum as a sidebar, since the smart sidebar doesn’t work on mobile devices, I tested a tablet and phone and the post links don’t even go to the posts, they just go right to the top of the topic, so it’s acting the same as the sidebar on mobile.

I made a thread on the simple-press forum and this was their thoughts

the post link is to an anchor… that is a spot directly on the page… there is no scrolling to the new post… it just goes directly to it…

so sounds like a plugin or theme doing it…

I tried turning off the smart sidebar but the issue persists, any ideas? Thank-you.

Hi,

Not sure what to say about this. Please also try this without any other plugins active and let me know what you find.

Thanks

lucian, I disabled all the plugins and it is still a issue, I also noticed on themeforest, someone else had mentioned an issue with html anchors, was anything found to be a concern with that?

Note that WordPress 4.4 made some changes to tinyMCE behavior. Make sure any plugin you’re using like a forum, is updated to work with these new changes.
