Footers on bottom of index instead of right-hand [SOLVED]

Your phpBB Version: 2.0.

What was done before the problem appeared?
n/a


What was done to try to solve the problem?
1) ACP -> IM Portal -> Portal Configuration -> Enable system-wide portal footer -> Yes
2) ACP -> IM Portal -> Page Management -> IntegraMod Default -> layout1.tpl
3) ACP -> IM Portal -> Block Management -> IntegraMod Default -> switched block positions to footer
4) cleaned out caches




De.scription and Message

I am trying to get blocks to appear on the right-hand side of the forum/index page, so that it looks consistent with the main portal page. My understanding was that setting footers to 'system-wide' would acomplish this, but the result is the footers appear as true footers: at the bottom of the forum page.

BTW, my overall_header and overall_footer are non-standard. Could changes in those files affect block layout?

yes the placement of the blocks are defined in the overall_header and overall_footer pages. If you post your header and footer code, ill take a look.
Be sure to check the "disable html" box when you post it so it will display correctly

(Basically I omitted a lot of buttons and text to give the site a cleaner, leaner look. Hopefully I didn't cut out too much!)

I realize that in viewing the site, the right-hand block is visible when looking at the viewforum_body.tpl and viewtopic_body.tpl, so I'm wondering if the issue is not with the overall_header but rather the index_body.tpl (which I've also modified) is causing the block to stretch out at the bottom of the page...


index_body
[code]<BEGIN>  <END>  <table>  </tr></table>{BOARD_ANNOUNCES}{BOARD_INDEX}<table><BEGIN><tr><td><form><table><tr><td>{L_LOGIN_LOGOUT}</td></tr><tr><td><table><tr> <td>{L_USERNAME}]

it looks like your missing some overall_footer code

FIND

Code: Select all
            {PORTAL_TAIL}    <table><tr><td><img></td></td></tr></table><table><tr><td><a><div><img></div></td><td>{QMENUS}</td><td><a><div><img></div></td></tr></table>  <We>           </td>         </tr>       </table>  


REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all
             {PORTAL_TAIL}           <td><img></td>         </tr>         <tr>           <td><table><tr><td><img></td></td></tr></table><table><tr><td><a><div><img></div></td><td>{QMENUS}</td><td><a><div><img></div></td></tr></table>  <We>           </td>         </tr>       </table>

Unfortunately that did not resolve the issue, but instead expanded the portal page way off to the right so that I have to scroll to read the center block. I musta really broke something. I'm going to back track and compare my tpl's with the original tpl's again. I just got a file-compare program (which I should have done when I started) that will hopefully help me identify the piece of code I mangled...

After some trial and error, I simply restored the default index_body.tpl and revised it step-by-step to remove the parts I wanted while retaining the desired formatting. Until I understand formatting better, I probably need to take things a lot slower when I edit.

Chalk this one up to user error, mark it [SOLVED]
