Problem with potition of user menu and size of logout button

Hello

First I'd like to thank you for a outstanding module. I LOVE it. it is just what I was looking for.

I have just a few minor problems i would like to see if you could help me with

nr 1. - The logout button is a bit big - could use to be like 35% shorter and I would really love it if I could shorten the padding from the bottom and top so it's closer to the menu and closer to the "Welcome *name* " text... - I suck at class suffix so maybe you could give me some pointers on that.

nr 2. - The User menu in drop down is not aligned with the logout button. it's few pix. higher then the logout button. is that fixable?

nr 3. - In the template I am using they have a special login/register links at the top right (you will see them on the site above your buttons in white) - Those are linked to the original joomla login module. If I remove them from the site I can not login on mobile devices using mobile view since your module does not show at this potition..
3 a) Is there a link I can use to link the popup module for login to the templates login link?
3 b) Is there a way for me that you can see to make it show in mobile view? Like I say if I remove the tempaltes login / register / logout links they also disapear in mobile view..

You can test the login module using this test account so you can see the problems -
username: test
password: test1

Best regards and thanks again for a good module

Hello Mel and thank you for your reply!

.sclogin input[type="submit"].btn{
width:100px; /* or whatever size you want */
margin-top: 0px;
}

where am I supposed to put this code? I have tried in class suffix on your module but noting happens. also tried to put it in the custom.css file but still no difference.

This comes originaly like this with the template. all I know is that the login/register/logout buttons are located in a position called "Login" and "register" - I can not for some reason place your module in the position. I had to place your module in a position called "search" wich is just under the "login" potition.
Only way I can see that I could use your module on mobile view is if I create a completely new mobile menu and just have a link to "login" in the menu that directs users to a page that includes the login/register buttons from your module. but that's not ideal but will be my last resort if I cant get this sorted.

like stated above. not sure where and how to activate the above code.

You can test the login module using this test account so you can see the problems current/smile -
username: test
password: test1

Before I read this, I created a 'sourcecoast' user. Oops. You can go ahead and delete that one.

no problem

Oohh and i just deleted the test account. no need to have that public. you can still access the site if you need with the account you created

Thanks again

Hello Mel

thank you for your time and reply

I belive I have found a suitable solution to my problems. I am hoping they will not give me some error later on.

I will post them here so maybe it may be of help to other rookies like me later on!

first what I did was to disable the login feature of the template - this got rid of the login/register links above your module in the header
this allso removed the login/register links in the mobile menu...
so I did the following:
I altered the responsive.css file for the template. in there I found that when screen is at 750px the search potition is set to display:none
I just removed that order so that the search potition is always visable no matter what screen with there is.
This makes it so that when I'm on mobile view I can still see the login/register button from your module on the header and it just so happens that it ligns up nicely under the logo on smallest screen sizes i can test on.
this way works LOVELY since now people can use the login pop up feature anywhere on mobile view AND they get the "welcome user" and the "user menu" on all pages in the header in mobile view.

I could not on the other hand sign your module to the login/register potition, I tried both with buttons and text links but nothing. but this seems to work this way so.. I just can't have the search feature on the search potition since it will owercrowd the corner if both modules use that potition. I just need to find a new potition for search

about the button size problem.. I tried to disable the logout button completely and I ended up loving that look even more. that made the "welcome user" and the user menu just apear next to each other (welcome user on top of the user menu) and I had already added a "log out" feature to the user menu so that works good ..

although while typing this I noticed a problem i'm having with this, that this seems to bug the mobile view when the mobile is tilted horizontally.. strange.. maybe just my phone. need to take a look at that.


anyways. I hope this will be of help to feature rookies in some way..

but I would like to thank you so much for all your help.

And here is my final question:
If I alter the langauge file for your module just using ftp and notepad.. will I need to edit the language file every time I update the module? Is there a better (easy) way to edit the language of modules? Like I say i'm a rookie. I have alraedy spent HOURS upon hours translating the joomla original language file and most language files for most modules.. without realicing the potential problem with updates later on....

I will take a look at that thank you.
I wish I could afford the JFBConnect component. looks really nice. but sadly my budget for this project is less then you'd imagine since I got a 1 YO kid and a new house etc etc.
I will translate the login module eather way so if you want I can translate it through your system so it will follow in upcominng releases. but the JFBConnect takes probl. much more time and i'd have to look into that at a later time.

should I translate the Login module through that link you sent me or is there some other way for that? Do you need something more than just the language .ini file?

Best regards
Hjalti

I'll pm you. thank you
