Message-ID: <1259950456.23597.97.camel at jersey>
Content-Type: text/plain

I've been looking for hours. Hopefully someone on this list knows how to
fix this:

On checkout in a virtuemart store, there is a login page that has an
accordion / stretcher that doesn't have enough vertical space. The
stretcher div is 135 pixels high, and it cuts off the 'remember me'
checkbox and label.

Does anyone know where to change the height assigned to this? It's using
mootools to open up a form.

The good news is that I'm much more acquainted with virtuemart. The bad
news is that I know it much more intimately than I really care to. Also,
this problem is keeping me from getting to fixing the other annoying
crap that's wrong with it.

Any guidance, no matter how brief, is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Yeah, I had a client with that exact same issue when using a RocketTheme
template.

I had to do some fiddling with the html/css.  What a pain!

which template are you using on the site?

In answer to my own question:

I'm putting this up so that others may not have to waste a few hours of
their life chasing this down.

Issue: virtuemart checkout cutting off half of 'remember me' checkbox in
the login form

Fix: edit the file:
components/com_virtuemart/themes/YOUR
THEME/templates/checkout/login_registration.tpl.php

line 54 is:
/*fixedHeight:125,*/

change to:
fixedHeight:145,

When you change the line, you also remove the comment syntax so that the
line is not ignored.

If anyone knows of a better fix, I'm all ears!

cheers,
Mark

I see you have already fixed it, but you may find this a little helpful.

Virtuemart has a "debug mode" - when you enable it it will place little
graphical question marks on the page for each template, and if you hover the
mouse over them it will show you which template file is being used to create
the html being displayed.

A lot quicker to find changes that way.

Scratch out that fix. It restricts the height of the register form when
you check the register radio button. Oh well, back under the hood for
me.

Ok, this works better:

append at the end of the file, after the final </form> tag

<div>
<br />
</dif>

to components/com_virtuemart/themes/YOUR
THEME/templates/common/login_form.tpl.php
