Civi 4.5/Joomla 3 Display Issue

[Dan C]

Hey all, I am hoping some of the other developers here can help me sort out an issue in Civi 4.5 and Joomla 3.  I am planning to do the work on this and submit a PR but need some pointing in the right direction.

Joomla 3 has a small, 30px high footer bar within the administrator area.  With Civi 4.5's new popup window UI, this bar causes a problem because it is just high enough to overlay about 80% of the action buttons on the bottom of the screen (see screenshot).  If the height of the content portion of the popup is adjusted, then everything will fall into place, so it is a matter of adjusting the height calculation for Joomla installs, but I'm not sure where that calculation is done and added to the inline style.  Could someone with more knowledge of the inner workings of the new UI point me in the right direction?

Hi Dan, we had the same problem with Drupal's toolbar, and came up with the following solution:

Yeah, that's about right for me, start looking into doing it the hard way .  I just tested it and it appears that is going to work, I will enter it into Jira and get a pull request created shortly.

You'll have to create the crm.joomla.js file since we don't yet have one. And to have it get included do this:

Ok, thanks for the tips.  Looks easy enough, I'm sure I will find a way to botch it up .
