There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

[SOLVED] page align not working IE, but working in other browsers + headers not rotat

Hello all,

I have my own website running on Atahualpa which is working brilliantly. I am now putting together a website for a client and also running it on Atahualpa, and ran into two hiccups:

No1: text/photos do not align the way I designed it, when displaying it on Internet Exporer, although other browsers like Safari, Mozilla and Google Chrome, it works fine. How do I fix this? Background: I have made a table ( http://patsypics.com/test-home-page/ ) in an attempt to get pictures and text aligned how i want them. my client wants the homepage to have pictures linked to a purchased plugin called 'Magic Zoom' that allows you to see a zoomed in image on rollover. It works by displaying a smaller picture and linking it to a larger resolution picture. I have all of this working and also a picture underneath which is text linking to another page. there a 3 of these and aligned in a table with a header and footer, making a header consisting of two pictures that are text, the body of one picture and picture link on the left-hand side in one column and two pictures with a picture link under each in the right hand side column and a footer underneath with text. this is all working perfectly in all browsers, BUT in IE it looks different every time I refresh with the pictures displayed smaller and smaller each time..
what could be the problem causing this? I have included a screen shot of how IE displays it and how Safari displays it

The other question is, i cannot rotate the header.. On my own website (mafgirl.com it is working perfectly and I have the settings set the same way on patsypics.com: there are 4 different header pictures in the correct folder on the website, and it does display the different headers when refreshing a page or navigating to a different page. the rotation with javascript is set to 5.
I have searched the forum and the only thing that i could find is that is it possible a plugin conflict. i have deactivated all plugins and that didnt make a difference.. there are only a few in there as i hardly use any at the moment. the new one, Magic Zoom, does not display in the plugins page as it is java script and css code that you FTP to the site and then integrate into the post/pages and is from http://www.magictoolbox.com/magiczoom but I doubt this is the problem as I have only installed it in the last few days and the header was already not rotating.


Really hope anyone can help me with this, I have already donated to Juggledad as he has previously helped me greatly with some issues. But let me know if you want me to donate more

Thanks ever so much! Marjolijn

Could you try a couple of things and let us know what happens?
  • Turn off animated menus
  • Turn off fading header if you have it on

Thank you ever so much for looking lmilesw , I have turned off animated menus and did not have fading headers on (it says '0' next to it). Unfortunately there are no changes on Safari (headers not rotating) and in IE the headers are rotating BUT the photos are not aligned or some are not even visible..

I am still pondering the no rotate in Firefox as my first guess would have been plugin conflict or your zoom script but you said this was not rotating before the script was installed.

A couple of thoughts...

I am not sure if this relates to some of what you are seeing but I would set hover and zebra stripe to no in ATO>Style Tables.

I know the zoom script is a purchased item but it would seem like a modal popup for the images would be a lot friendlier. When hovering over the images I found the zoom image was sometimes out of the field of view and I had to scroll to see it. A plugin like WP-prettyPhoto will allow you to click on an image and see it at a larger size in the center of the current window. Who knows... this might even fix the no scrolling issue.

I will keep pondering and maybe someone else has an idea of what is going on.

Thanks again for looking lmilesw, I have set hover and zebra stripe to no, and that initially made the flower poster disappear ( again, ONLY in IE, rest of the browsers are still fine) but after a browser refresh it reappeared, the two pictures on the right are still either not there or very small.
Would it have to do with the (old fashioned) html table code I have used in an attempt to keep all pictures and links in the correct order?

With regards to where you see the zoomed image, this is all customizable and have not yet got it perfect as I wanted to sort out the rotating headers and being able to see the images in all browsers first, so I will perfect that at a later stage.

Thanks for all the tips so far and hopefully you, or someone else will find a solution. It is probably something really simple haha!

cheers again, Marjolijn

Get rid of the spaces in the image names, that messes things up. Change the spaces to underscores so that 'Patsypics pink teddies 170 x 1000.jpg' becomes 'Patsypics_pink_teddies_170_x_1000.jpg'
