Text wrapping in Text On Calendar mode?

drdavidge · 10-26-2006, 06:01 PM

Hey, is there a way to make the short description for an event wrap inside each cell of the calendar so it goes to the next line instead of getting cut off? If you look at the demo calendar over at http://www.easyphpcalendar.com/demoTOC.php look at Oct 20th you can see what I mean.

When I do this, the elipsis disappears, but the short description does not wrap. Am I missing something?

A link to your page would be helpful so we can see what's happening.

But of course.

It appears you haven't removed the lines from the CSS file as indicated in the knowledgebase article. (The CSS is still there).

Let me try again. I've edited esstyle.css...is there multiple stylesheets with that name?

**Brian** · 12-04-2006, 03:15 PM

There are two, each in two different directories. The theme/system shouldn't be changed. You want to edit the theme/default/esstyle.css file.

Thanks, Brian. That must have been it. I suspect I edited the theme/system/esstyle.css file by mistake--although it appeared unedited when I checked it this morning.

Thanks for the support and the great application!

Hi,

EDIT: it appears I've discovered the cause of this problem, and I'm guessing it's a bug in IE's CSS parsing, unrelated to the actual EPC code. Instead of removing the appropriate lines from the CSS file, I was instead commenting them out using single-line commenting (prepending // on appropriate lines). This works absolutely fine in all browsers except Windows IE 6.

Commenting out the lines using the regular /* */ commenting works fine (just like removing the lines entirely). Therefore, it appears that for whatever reason, the C++-style single-line // commenting is ignored or otherwise malfunctions on Windows IE 6.

Sorry to have gone into a panic.

Hopefully this helps someone else who might have a similar problem. Thanks for a wonderful product! (end EDIT)

--------

Sorry to hijack the thread but I'm experiencing a similar problem, except it manifests only in Windows IE 6. Viewing the calendar with any Mozilla product (on all platforms) or Safari (Mac) shows the properly-wrapped text, but Windows IE 6 does NOT wrap the text. (I have not tried IE 7.)

The weird thing is, when viewing the OP's calendar (linked from this post), wrapping works fine in IE 6. But on my calendar, it does not. I've followed the instructions in the KB article and removed the appropriate lines from the theme's esstyle.css file, which is why it works fine on Mozilla browsers... but IE doesn't seem to obey.

The demo page for my calendar is at: http://dev.obesitynomore.net/calendar_new/demo.php

Even the demo does not wrap properly, so it doesn't appear to be a coding problem on my end.

This bug occurs with EPC 6.3.17 and .24 (the demo linked above is the latest version). Note that this is the PHP 4.x version, in case that matters.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
