    I've noticed a couple of issues with Explorer and Vitality. I've attached a screenshot but it seems bullets are not rendering in a regular html block, and in the latest news, it seems there's text overlap. Both render perfectly in Firefox.

    styles_ie6.css and styles_ie7.css include a line of code to render the list items in the left-column correctly:

    .sideblock ul li {line-height: 1px;}

    This should read:

    #left-column .sideblock ul li {line-height: 1px;}

    You may want to also include the following: to the bottom of both those stylesheets as well:

    .block_html ul li {line-height: 1.4;}

    Thanks, that fixed the bullets. I did notice a couple of things that are fixable in the sense I could move them to the right column, but I thought I'd mention them. The news item in the left column and a calendar in the left column don't display correctly in Explorer. (Calendar doesn't display properly in Firefox either) I've attached a screenshot, but you can also see at www.realestaterenegade.com/lms.

    One other minor issue is that in Firefox when viewing avaiable courses, there seems to be a break or two that lowers the course description below the course title. (Renders perfect in Explorer)

    When you get a chance, I would also like to know where the setting is to increase the font size in the center of the page (listed activities) in a course outine page. They seem a little small to me and I'm sure it's a very simple edit, but I can't seem to find what I need to change.

    Thanks for all your help today.

    Moving blocks is not a fix - don't worry about the support request. Notifying me of bugs such as this only make the theme better.

    Here is a fix to the left-column issue with certain blocks. I've put this in styles.css at the end of the "Sideblocks" section (starting on line 284), but placing it at the very end of the document should work just fine too.

    #left-column .sideblock .minicalendar th, #left-column .sideblock .minicalendar td.day, #left-column .sideblock #vbankform table td, #left-column .sideblock .unlist .post .info { color:#fff; } #left-column .sideblock .minicalendar td.weekend { color:#f00; } #left-column .sideblock .minicalendar td.today { border-color:#fff; } #left-column .sideblock .minicalendar { border:none; }

    To fix your course box issue (which I am now convinced is a bug in the Standard theme), add the following to the end of styles.css as well:

    .coursebox .info { width:47%; }

    To increase the size of the middle column in course pages, add the following to the end of styles.css:

    .topics .section .content { font-size:1.1em; }

    The em value can be increased to any value (default = 1em), but do not switch to pixel values or it will screw with your HTML editor.

    Update: If you have any trouble with implementing this code, shoot me an email and I'll send you a new styles.css.

    Patrick,

    Thanks for all your help and the updated styles.css file. I just noticed one other thing in the forums using IE7 (I wish I could get everyone to use Firefox) that may or may not be related to one of the other changes you've given me. (I don't know that I viewed the forums before) I've attached a screenshot.

    P.S. In case anyone is reading this later on, I've purchased themes for both Joomla and Moodle and the respone time/support from here has been quicker/better than any other theme provider I've dealt with.

    Keep up the good work.

    Todd

    I will post this to the Moodle tracker first thing Monday. You have found a strange Moodle bug that is affecting the core Custom Corners theme as well.

    Nevertheless, I have a temporary fix:

    Add the following to the bottom of styles_ie7.css:

    .mod-forum #content.wrap { background-color: #fff; }

    Now, I know that this is not a perfect fix, but it significantly reduces the problem.

    Again, let me know if you need additional help working this out.

    I seem to have narrowed this down to the subscription div at the top-right of the page. Nothing I do to it will make it display properly though.

    Alternatively, if you don't use subscriptions, you could hide the div completely. Doing so seems to make everything all right.

    To do this, add the following to the bottom of styles_ie7.css instead of what I've noted above:

    .mod-forum .subscription {position: absolute;left:-9999px;}

    After this post, I'm going to bed because this seems to have done the trick and I don't quite know why!

    To prevent confusion, I have emailed a new styles_ie7.css. Replace yours with this new one and let me know how things go.

    For reference, the following was added to the end of styles_ie7.css:

    .mod-forum #content.wrap { background-color: #fff; } div.navbar { height: 2em; } div.i1 { min-width: 0; } div#header div.i3, div#header-home div.i3 { min-width: 0; }

    Note to anyone else who downloads this theme: This is a non-issue. Taken care of!

    One last question. I'm hoping you can help with a workaround that's most likely not the theme, but the module. I understand the book module doesn't have the most updated code, but I have a significant space on the right side of the page. (Screenshot) In the Moodle forums, I've found one error in the code to fix a gap between the titles and the box, (align right should have been left) that fixes the left side of the page, but there's someone that also used the following code to fix a gap on the right.

    .boxwidthwide {
    width: 95%
    }

    I don't see code exactly like this (They changed an 80% to 95%) but even more importantly I'm wondering if something similar in your theme will mess up anything else. I have everything working almost perfectly and while I don't know anything about code, to me this would tend to imply more than just the width of the book.

    The problem seems to be with my reduction of the "generalbox" class on lines 100 - 102:

    .generalbox { width:75%; }

    We'll just keep that in mind in case it messes with something else.

    To fix the problem, we will add a specific line of code that only applies to the generalbox class when it appears in the book module. Add the following to styles.css:

    #mod-book-view .generalbox { width: 95% }

    There doesn't appear to be a .boxwidthwide on the page when testing on 1.9. Perhaps there was at one time, but they've since purged it?

    Note: Since this is not a core module, this code will not be added to the Vitality theme download.

    I've found one other minor issue with the SCORM module. This may be caused because I've changed the standard width of the borders on pages, but there's a break at the bottom. I've also noted one font color that's difficult to read in the screenshot.

    Wow, Scorm is all kinds of messed up. Let me look into what the original developer of Custom Corners did with his theme. I'll be back.

    My initial guess is that the Scorm package has an extra closing DIV in it somewhere which is causing the misplacement of the footer. I'll have to scour the scorm files to be sure. I'll wait until Monday to do that when I have more time. If I'm correct, and I can't imagine what else would be breaking things like this, then we'll have to file a Moodle bug. And, maybe, if I'm lucky, I'll be able to locate the troublespot in Scorm so you can fix it in the interim.

    To fix your font issue, try:

    #mod-scorm-player .navbutton a { color:#fff; }

    And to get rid of the linkback on that page, since it's causing problems, add:

    #mod-scorm-player .linkback { display:none; }

    I'll let you know what I find.

    Well, the extra div appears to be placed by the custom corners engine, since Scorm looks fine under the Standard theme. However, the problem is not isolated to my theme, but to Custom Corners as well (you can see that the footer is misaligned from the rest of the body). I'm guessing that this issue made its way through since the bug is subtle in Custom Corners, while it's not so in Vitality, where alignment of the content to the footer is much more important.

    ... still digging.

    FYI- The new SCORM visualization in 1.9.2+ seems to display without adding the extra div. The outside borders seems to be different colors, (depending on the side) but it doesn't look nearly as bad as it did. (screenshot attached)
