Topic box overlap error when viewing as student.

Hi all,

For some reason we are getting some overlap with pictures and text when viewing under a student role. Any ideas?
These are the 2 courses I've seen do it.

Hi Dave,

Ok, what version of:

  • Moodle
  • Theme
  • Browser

Are you using please as no real way of replicating the issue in order to provide a solution without it.

Cheers,

Gareth

Does this behaviour happen when viewed on another theme?

It doesn't seem so. Perhaps something to do with the collapsable topic boxes?

Collapsable topic boxes?  So, you're using Collapsed Topics?  So what version of that please too?  As I remember having an issue with IE and this sort of thing in the past and corrected it.

Sorry but as it's IE, what version of IE please?

And as there is lots of versions of the theme, https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=theme_archaius, what version of that please?

I did originally ask for versions of all three smile

I had not realised that the theme had a 'collapseable topic boxes' setting.

Ok,

I've looked though my older CSS for Collapsed Topics and at one point when I had to support IE7, I had:

/* -- hide the children for IE7 and older -- */
.collapsed_topic * {
display: none;
}

Which meant that the children of the parent container where set to 'display: none' even though the parent was set to 'display: none' - so the 'collapsed_topic' was a class that was applied to the parent whenever IE7- was used.

Might be the sort of fix required here.

Cheers,

Gareth

I've looked a bit further and I think I'm right.  As the 'course.css' file has:

.path-course-view .course-content li.section.main {
background-color:#fff;
display:none;
padding-top:5px;
list-style-type' : none ;
margin-top:0;
border: 1px dashed #ddd;
border-top: 0;

}

And there is some jQuery in 'javascript/archaius.js' to do some add / remove class action when clicking on the arrow thang.  But strangely, nothing about the inline alterations you can see with the Chrome Developer Tools.  So, I think you need to go to the theme designer with this information for a fix.

Cheers,

Gareth

Thanks Gareth!

I'm using the version of archaius for 2.4.
I will post a report to the designer and see if I can get a response.

Any idea of a temporary fix for now?

Thanks,

Dave

Dear Dave,

To be honest, no, not without spending lots of time doing the fix myself.

To be brutal, a temporary fix would be to use another theme.

I have just looked at the file in Archaius and see that they use jQuery. Since you cannot use jQuery in Moodle 2.5 unless you have a specific setting I dare say your problem is that jQuery is being blocked by Moodle and therefore not working/ or just conflicting.

Also since this theme is a 3rd party Add-on and the designer is not in the forum you will need to deal with them direct via the comments page for that Theme.

Cheers

Good afternoon,

We are experiencing the same issue while using Google Chrome and Archaius. As a work around we request users do not enter data into the Summary field in the Topic areas. 

Has anyone else been notified of a fix for this issue?

 

Thanks,

 

Jonathan

Hi, I'm in the process of testing this, so hopefully might be able to get a fix or advice how to stop it doing whatever it is doing!

What version of this theme are you using and on what version of Moodle are you running it on?

I'm testing the latest theme on Moodle 2.6 and cannot replicate the problem.

Cheers

Hi, 

I fixed it long time ago. It was a problem of the method I used to create the tabs. it isn't happening since a long time ago, if you still having problems let me know.


Regards,

Daniel.
