Category boxes in magazine are not long enough

I have set the number of posts in my category block on the magazine template to 4 but when I do, the fourth post appears under/behind the "see all posts" button.

I changed it to three and the category box shortened, but then the third post was pushed behind the button.

Is there some CSS to force the categories to a uniform height?

drake posted this in another thread, but the solution is to remove the borders with this custom include:

Code: Select all

.suf-mag-category {border:none;}

I'm also having this problem. I posted about it in the bug reports -- viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8700 -- where I gave a pretty detailed writeup. It may or may not be a bug with Suffusion, but I still haven't found a fix for it.

Getting rid of the borders doesn't help. It looks the same -- cutting off the content but without borders.

One interesting thing about this is if you resize the browser, it snaps out and opens up the space for the content. This happens on Safari and Chrome (Webkit browsers) on a Mac for me.

You mentioned that 'Drake' found a solution for this -- Is it something other than the border none css here? I'm not finding this. Can you point us to a link for that?

THANKS

As I responded on the other thread, for some reason the resize is not firing correctly in this case. There is an explicit call to resize things, which happens upon page load, but the Webkit browsers are ignoring it sometimes. E.g. if you look at the theme page of Suffusion the issue is not present and all the resizing happens correctly (the same kind of code is run). I can suggest a patch that you might want to try: explicitly set a height for the category block this way -

Code: Select all

.suf-mag-category { height: 300px !important; }

Adjust this to whatever works best for you.

Thanks much! It would be nice to have this resize with content, but until the universe shakes itself out, I am going to go with setting the height. If anyone wants to see it in progress it's here: http://dev.collectiveeye.org/ (but, it's always changing a bit so tomorrow might not have the category boxes)

Thanks again for checking this out and offering up your thoughts.
