Social groups listing - large blank field
 

When showing all social groups (group.php?do=grouplist) there is a large blank field between the "All groups" link and the first group name. The size of the blank field seems to be related to the size of the ads column on the left hand side of the forum. When showing the same page in the standard vBulletin style, the blank field does not show.

Can anybody help me by guiding me to which template I should start searching for errors?

You can find the template by doing this - vboptions > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments > set to Yes . Then go back to your page and view the source code and you will see the name of the template called around your part of the code.

OK, still very new to this... The source page starts with
What codes may be used for "hooking" the position of the header up to the end of the left column? I do not even now where to start... :o

You need to actually find the template where that blank space is happening. It may be that template, or one that gets called from that template. You may want to look at the page source for that page that doesn't have the blank space and use a text editor to compare it to the page source of the page that does have that blank space. See what the differences are.

Yes, I see the theory in it all... I just do not see what template is called at that exact point.

I assume it is not a big blank space that is inserted (intendently), but something that makes the heading of the grouplist start after the end of the left column. Is t here any standard codes for placing an element that way? It would help me start searching...

I would *guess* that it is a CSS thing. I think you added something where you cleared it when you shouldn't have. Without actually being able to see the actual page, it is hard to tell.

So I should start comparing the socialgroups_css template?

Thanks for replying, Lynne, I feel far to unexperienced for this... (but learning a lot, though!)

EDIT: Found a solution (though I still do not understand all the code :o) - added in the socialgroups template before the code that builds the header. Got it from the socialgrous_overview template.
