We are in the process of upgrading to Moodle 3.1.3 and Essential theme. Our current site is on Moodle 2.8.7 also using Essential. I am having a problem with the Marketing Spot boxes. The buttons in the boxes do not align across the page, see second image below. When I look at the Layout using Firebug, the positions/margins/etc. settings are different. The first image below is from our current server. This happens whether I am looking at the page on my monitor, my laptop screen or my phone.
Cannot reproduce in forthcoming Essential 3.1.1.5 (functionally the same in this area as current 3.1.1.4). I can find no evidence of 'positions/margins/etc. settings are different'.
Hi Sue,
Can you post a screenshot of what you see using Firebug? That would be a great help.
Thanks

Mary,
This first shot is of the current install, Moodle 2.8. I right clicked inside the Marketing spot for Master of Divinity. It is the same for all three spots on 2.8.
This next shot is on Moodle 3.1. I right clicked inside the Marketing spot for Master of Divinity again.
Finally, this last shot is on Moodle 3.1. I right clicked inside the Marketing spot for Grow in Grace.
Do these help?
Sue
Hi Sue,
No they do not help as you have only highlighted one line which is not really telling me anything.
I have seen the first one on your online website which is working OK.
Is the other site on a test server? If so then there may be some other factors coming into play on that site.
Would it be possible for me to see that site myself? If so can you send me details via the 'Message' button on my profile?
Thanks
Mary
Mary,
The live site is running Debian 7.9 and Moodle 2.8.7.
The dev site on a separate server is running Debian 8.6 and Moodle 3.1.3+.
Since 3.2 is out, we are now wondering if we should upgrade to that before figuring out what is going on with the Marketing spots. Or do you want to look at it before we make the transition. The last time we looked 3.2 was not going to be ready in time for us to make the jump, but as long as it is ready, we would like to do so. We want to make the change over Christmas break.
Thanks for your help,
Sue
If you stick with Essential then there is no point in upgrading to M3.2 as I've not made a version of the theme for it yet and you'll have even more problems: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=344229.
Hi Sue,
Taking a quick look at the site now would help a great deal if possible.
Thanks
Mary
Mary, What you suggest in your message was the issue. I changed from ATTO (which was the default on the old site) to TinyMCE, delete the text in the boxes and re-entered it. The buttons are now aligned. Thanks for your help.

Hi Sue,
That's good news, thank you for letting me know.
Kind regards,
Mary
