CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I am running drupal 5.1 and civicrm 1.7
the civicrm contact search page runs into drupal right menu on smaller screen resolutions.
i am using the garland theme.  is there a way to theme civicrm so that it doesn't do this?

any suggestions much appreciated

Hey Michal,

on my "main" monitor i use a screen resolution of 1280 x 1084 (19" screen), however i also have a second monitor (16") that i have set to a resolution of 960 x 600. 

All looks great on my "main" monitor.  But not so great on the smaller monitor (which is the size that some of my site users are using - including an admin guy i have helping with the site).

The civicrm main admin panel shows up great on the smaller screen and the "find contacts" screen also.
It is only when i go into the search results screen that it expands to overlap the right hand menu - making it completely unreadable on the right side. (also civicrm home).

I know a very little html and css (mostly i've used Dreamweaver on some simple static sites and so have not needed to be a coding genius).

It seems that there must be a way to make the results pages not expand, no?

If you can tell me which style sheets to look into, i can take a look and see if i can make any sense of it.  or i might be able to find someone to help with it...

cheers,
grace

M,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I disabled my menus on the right and "voila!"
sometimes the simplest solutions elude me.

i think for now i'll pass on entering the css jungle as i have many other more pressing dilemas tha need to be solved.

cheers,
grace

you can also use this module: http://drupal.org/project/civicrm_theme
"It extends the Drupal admin theme page options (admin/settings/admin) to allow settings of custom CiviCRM user and admin themes"

You can do this by creating a custom version of the search results template: templates/CRM/Contact/Form/Selector.tpl and removing that column from header and result rows.

Check this doc for info in custom templates: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Customize+Built-in+and+Profile+Screens

You may need to clear your template cache to get the original layout back. Instructions are here:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Debugging

In your custom copy of templates/CRM/Contact/Form/Selector.tpl... (and I do recommend setting up your custom templates path etc. so you're not modifying the core files :-) )...

Starting at line 13 - modify the code with lays out the headers so it looks like this (inserted line 14 and 23):
  {foreach from=$columnHeaders item=header}
    {if $header.name NEQ 'Country'}
    <th scope="col">
    {if $header.sort}
      {assign var='key' value=$header.sort}
      {$sort->_response.$key.link}
    {else}
      {$header.name}
    {/if}
    </th>
    {/if}
  {/foreach}

Then remove this line (if it's still there) where the row values are displayed:
              <td>{$row.country}</td>


Setting up a mirror path under your Custom Templates Directory is correct. Make sure this directory is properly configured in Admin CiviCRM >> Global Settings >> Directories and is in a location readable by your web server.

You do NOT need to delete the "standard" copy of any template you've customized. CiviCRM will first check in your custom templates "tree" to see if there's a customized version - and if so will use that one instead of the standard version.
