Wikidot design glitches

Gene R 18 Nov 2014 16:51

Hello all.

I'm seeing strange errors that seem to be related to the "include image" block. First, the voting module does not obey its "align to the right" formatting and sticks to the left (example). Second, image captions are sometimes off (second image here). Same behavior can be seen on the Russian wiki as well. Some of our users claim that they don't see any errors.

Does anyone else see that? Any ideas from people who are on a first name basis with CSS?

I had a similar issue with the Member Page today when updating it. The align center modules were breaking, despite usually keeping their functionality. I messed with it for a bit, but couldn't come up with a solution yet.

Yep, we've been working on the issue. LurkD and Bland managed to isolate the issue. We've posted two bug reports here:
http://feedback.wikidot.com/bug:958 - My report
http://feedback.wikidot.com/bug:956 - Bland's report
LurkD confirmed Bland's test, any pages you edit from now on with the [[include]] module will remove all the formatting above it. Which results in the screwy pages you are seeing. Hopefully wikidot will take care of it soon, be aware any edits until this resolved where the page has a [[include]] module will mess up the formatting above it.

Scantron was kind enough to make a post on the front page news section, alerting users to the issue. It isn't anything site-breaking, but it's enough of a glitch that people are going to complain.

Someone found a temporary workaround to the issue on bland's report. Simply add

@<&nbsp;>@

To any affected page, right beneath the rating module and it should fix it.

Pix, is that a hard space or something? It kind of looks like a blank box.

Yeah wikidot didn't like how I was trying to put it in, fixed.

As per bland's thread on the bug page, the issue has been resolved. I've confirmed this personally, everything looks good. Thanks, guys!

Fixed the issue. Page probably just needed to be reloaded post-fix. I removed the module and then replaced it, and that did the trick.

Should be pretty straightforward with any others that crop up, then.
