[4919] personal text bug on smf 2.0.2[help][moved]

[fullmoonya]

hello to all. i dont know if this topic existed here but i cant find any thread related to my problem. as you can see, i have problem on personal text of forum profile of the smf i installed. it overlaps to the message i just post. i will put the image to the attachments.

[fullmoonya]

does everyone know how to fix this? please respond to my question. how can i solve this problem.

[TheListener]

Please do not bump topics within 24 hours.

The topic will be answered when and if the answer is known.

[fullmoonya]

okay sir. sorry for the bump. here's another question of mine. where can i find the variable that specifies the string length of my personal text? may be thats the problem why the personal text of my forum profile overlaps to the message i post.

For a quick and dirty fix, in index.css change this:

Code Select Expand

.poster
{
float: left;
width: 15em;
}

to this:

Code Select Expand

.poster
{
float: left;
width: 15em;
        overflow: hidden;
}

The problem is caused by the string of letters being without a break. If it was composed of shorter words (as it usually is) then it would stack to more than one line.

thank you so much for the help sir. i'll try it out.

edit:
it works! thank you very much for this code sir antechinus.

Ant do you recommend this as to be tracked as a bug?

P.S - This happens with the user name too, and in one topic I purposed a fix too.

Another solution would be to break the lines like with the posts.
In Load.php:

Code (find) Select Expand

// What a monstrous array...
$memberContext[$user] = array(
'username' => $profile['member_name'],
'name' => $profile['real_name'],
'id' => $profile['id_member'],
'is_buddy' => $profile['buddy'],
'is_reverse_buddy' => in_array($user_info['id'], $buddy_list),
'buddies' => $buddy_list,
'title' => !empty($modSettings['titlesEnable']) ? $profile['usertitle'] : '',
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $profile['id_member'],
'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $profile['id_member'] . '" title="' . $txt['profile_of'] . ' ' . $profile['real_name'] . '">' . $profile['real_name'] . '</a>',

Code (replace with) Select Expand

if ($context['browser']['is_gecko'] || $context['browser']['is_konqueror'])
$breaker = '<span style="margin: 0 -0.5ex 0 0;"> </span>';
// Opera...
elseif ($context['browser']['is_opera'])
$breaker = '<span style="margin: 0 -0.65ex 0 -1px;"> </span>';
// Internet Explorer...
else
$breaker = '<span style="width: 0; margin: 0 -0.6ex 0 -1px;"> </span>';
$fixLongWords = 16;

$profile['fix_real_name'] = $profile['real_name'];
foreach (array('member_name', 'fix_real_name', 'personal_text') as $text)
// The idea is, find words xx long, and then replace them with xx + space + more.
if ($smcFunc['strlen']($profile[$text]) > $fixLongWords)
{
// This is done in a roundabout way because $breaker has "long words" :P.
$profile[$text] = strtr($profile[$text], array($breaker => '< >', '&nbsp;' => $context['utf8'] ? "\xC2\xA0" : "\xA0"));
$profile[$text] = preg_replace(
'~(?<=[>;:!? ' . $non_breaking_space . '\]()]|^)([\w' . ($context['utf8'] ? '\pL' : '') . '\.]{' . $fixLongWords . ',})~e' . ($context['utf8'] ? 'u' : ''),
'preg_replace(\'/(.{' . ($fixLongWords - 1) . '})/' . ($context['utf8'] ? 'u' : '') . '\', \'\\$1< >\', \'$1\')',
$profile[$text]);
$profile[$text] = strtr($profile[$text], array('< >' => $breaker, $context['utf8'] ? "\xC2\xA0" : "\xA0" => '&nbsp;'));
}

// What a monstrous array...
$memberContext[$user] = array(
'username' => $profile['member_name'],
'name' => $profile['real_name'],
'id' => $profile['id_member'],
'is_buddy' => $profile['buddy'],
'is_reverse_buddy' => in_array($user_info['id'], $buddy_list),
'buddies' => $buddy_list,
'title' => !empty($modSettings['titlesEnable']) ? $profile['usertitle'] : '',
'href' => $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $profile['id_member'],
'link' => '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=profile;u=' . $profile['id_member'] . '" title="' . $txt['profile_of'] . ' ' . $profile['real_name'] . '">' . $profile['fix_real_name'] . '</a>',

But I don't know if the problem is worth the code and the processor time...


ETA: fullmoonya would you shorten your personal text?

[Joker™]

emanuele, take a look at this post too it might come handy.

[emanuele]

Yep, reduce the size could be a solution, but if the display name is 60 chars long (limit of the input box in the profile page) you have to reduce *a lot* the size to let it fit in!

In Load.php:

Really, we probably should track it. I like the basic css fix myself (already use it anyway) and it's certainly quick and easy on teh pooters. We could go for the bells and whistles approach though. Bit of a swings and roundabouts thing. On the one hand we get partially hidden content. On the other, we get borked up words split at inconvenient points. Meh.

[emanuele]

Tracked.

[vainglory]

I had the same problem when I updated from 1.1.18 to 2.0.5, but emanuele's php fix worked for me.

Thanks.

[vainglory]

Although, I am now getting an error in Load.php
8: Undefined variable: non_breaking_space
Line: 1146

I assume it is:

Code Select Expand

'~(?<=[>;:!? ' . $non_breaking_space . '\]()]|^)([\w' . ($context['utf8'] ? '\pL' : '') . '\.]{' . $fixLongWords . ',})~e' . ($context['utf8'] ? 'u' : ''),
