New theme pushes user text entry fields to bottom of page

Categories:

Hi, all,

I'm playing with some new templates for H2otown.info. I've tried a couple I like, but both have the same odd problem: when I try to add new content (for example, a blog entry) the fields to enter the text are at the extreme bottom of the page -- they don't show up in the first or second screenful of pixels.

I'm using newsportal, but I have the same issue with wireframe.

Any thoughts?

Changes may require me to do some debugging on theme_editor, too, since theme_editor does not seem to see many of the themes I've installed. Either that, or dig out the SFTP documentation and send a file up there directly!

PS. I've been going nuts with installing modules on my VPS. Fun!

Worked for almost everything...

but strangely, the data on user profile pages is pushed way down. Taking a look at the source, this relies on the same set of CSS stylesheets, so I'm not sure what to do. Do you have any hints?

I'm fiddling around with profiles and user pages because I'm implementing buddylist, invite, and userpoints. So I have to get a user's page to be, well, at least not baffling to users!

Here's a sample user's page: http://h2otown.info/user/328

The following CSS should fix that:

.profile { clear: none; }

Put that at the bottom of the style.css like the other CSS I gave you.

I thought I'd seen this before: this affected Lincoln's Revenge back in 4.6. The fix for that—and for this—is to add the following CSS to your style.css file (add it to the bottom of the theme's CSS, not Drupal's CSS):

.node-form .standard { clear: none; }

Then do a refresh—it may take a Shift-Refresh for the changes to 'take'—and can you let me know if that worked?

BTW, I tested the CSS using the most-excellent Web Developer Firefox plugin, but I won't know for sure until it's in your theme's CSS file.

It worked!

Now that I have access to the VPS I was able to edit the file directly using vi -- makes me feel so 133t I might just delay tinkering with theme_editor indefinitely. W00t ;)
