Hiya,

Finding my way now although it's really hard without any kind of user manual ... despite the fact that as a geek I detest reading them, it's taken ages to figure out some basic things which might have been easier with a "how to" manual! If you need help writing one let me know.

One issue I'm having is with the component not adhering to the template, and some of the boxes not "looking" right.

E.G. see here http://www.suffolkcomputerservices.co.uk/dad/index.php?option=com_muscol&view=album&id=1&Itemid=59 - the data box is not taking up the full space whereas the other ones are.

If I have a module displaying on this page, it doesn't resize in line with the template but shifts the content of the component out to the right, which looks pretty naff (hence I've turned off the module for now).

    Further to this it seems that there is nothing within images/formats folder - had to manually upload the cd.png file.

    this cd.png thing its said on the installation instructions.

    it's right, we dont have a user manual (yet) but we do have an installation instructions that can solve you some questions! ;) like the cd.png one.

    about the disadjusting of the template

    on the /components/com_muscol/assets/album.css file, line 326, therre's a class called .disc_data

    its for defining the size of that column (its not set by default, because it could be too big for some templates...)

    it you add the property

    width: 278px;

    the box should look nicer on your template

    Germi

    PS: I undestand there can take some time, at the beginning, to adjust the layout (that is, the CSS properties) so it fits perfectly into your site's template. so, if you have more questions, please let me know and I'll help you in all I can

    Thanks for this suggestion - is there any way to make that entire column the same width? Just it kinda offends the eye having things different widths - the solution above just makes the line shorter, but doesn't affect the width of the box at all.

    I assume it would be possible to set it all to 278px wide, but would there potentially be issues with smaller resolutions?
