Topic-icon JFBCLike - module and plugin do not honor width

See: www.jtest.us/index.php?option=com_conten...cle&id=63&Itemid=174

Setting the width options for both the module and plugin extensions make no difference. I have the width currently set to 160 which should bring the text in compliance, but no dice. I have also tried 140 and even 100.

Not you again.. :)

In the code, I'm seeing the proper width being set (the width="400" parameter). My best suggestion to try is use the Facebook like configurator-mabob linked below, configure it out how you'd want it to look, then do the same in our plugin. Then check that the code generated by us matches what there's is. In the configurator, the width of 160 vs 400 makes a difference (wraps the text), so if you're not seeing that, and the code is the same, let us know and we'll do what we can to investigate what the difference could be.

Thanks, and good luck!

I found the developers page earlier and testing it was next on my list. I used it to create the code, same result. It looks fine if you're not logged in and is displaying Like, but once you log in it breaks, both versions the same way. In this case the right column is 180px wide minus some padding. Setting the width to 170 should work, but fails. However in the left column the width is 240px. They both wrap after 2 full names and number. It looks to me like FB has done something to force either a minimum phrase part or minimum width.

To me this says not your problem, just know and learn to love the behavior.

Hmm. Yeah, unfortunately then, there's only so much we can do (as you guessed). I'll see if I can play around with it. I know in the configurator if I change the width, the Like width does change (and the text will wrap), but I haven't tested for accuracy.

If I find anything, as always, I'll let ya know. You do the same.

Oh yeah, don't know if I've mentioned it, but if you use JFBConnect, have the time, and would like to leave a quick vote on the JED for our extension or support, we'd appreciate. Certainly not necessary though!
