Description

Forum replies are difficult to read because there is no indentation when using theme TheNews on v6.7 (also affected version 4.3)

Using Firebug with Firefox v12.x established that the style value "padding-left" is set as follows ... 

#tiki-centre div  2px   from thenews.css  line  382   which reads  #tiki-centre div { padding: 3px 2px; }
Over rides     
.sub_comment      20px  from layout.css   line 1539   which reads  .sub-comment { padding-left: 20px; }


We also notice that the vertical alignment could be improved upon.

Following patch has been applied via Admin -> Look & Feel - - Custom CSS and is being successfully used on our v6.7 system.

Regards,

Martin


Solution
Workaround

{CODE (caption="Forum Replies & Wiki Page Comments Indent Patch v6.7" wrap="1")}

  1. tiki-center .sub_comment {padding-left: 15px; margin-top: -7px; }{CODE} hmmmm. . . CODE plugin seems not to be working.


Code deployed is as follows. . .
#tiki-center .sub_comment {padding-left: 15px; margin-top: -7px; }

The top margin of -7px effectively lifts the reply box up the screen such that the heavy grey top line is aligned to the left corner shape.

NB The patch was initially developed for Forum Replies. We noticed that it also improved layout of Wiki Page Comments as they share Style Sheet Objects.

We only use a small sub-set of the functionality of TW and this patch may have adverse consequences beyond Forum Replies and Wiki Page Comments which we are unaware of. Use with due caution.
