hi,

to put it simply - muscol is a great component and we won't miss it.
but it seems that we have a problem with the recently added albums module.
it's about how the albums are displayed. the order of the albums is right, put the layout how they are displayed looks a bit chaotic. :blink:

following some screenshots to illustrate our problem:

displaying 12 albums

displaying 5 albums

here some system informtion:
joomla version: 2.5.4
module settings: http://www.uspenterprises.com/troubleshooter/screenshot_options.png

any help would be appreciated.

thx.
mike

hello
I see what you mean. this can be fixed with very simple CSS. you just need to set the HEIGHT for the LI elements containing the albums in that module. if you post a link to your site I'll try to tell you what exact CSS code you need.

hi,

you have to change a css-file in the module: mod_muscol_recently_added.

1) Open the path "modules/mod_muscol_recently_added/tmpl".
2) Edit the css-file "recently_added_albums.css".
3) You just need to set the HEIGHT for the UL elements containing the albums in that module.

cheers!
