social buttons & z-index

Your template stylesheets are all gzipped and combined together, so I can't tell you the exact file to make this change in. However, the style you need to add is as follows. It should work in any of your CSS files, actually, but probably best in the main template.css file (or whatever your template uses):Once done, make sure you clear your Joomla cache and clean whatever minification extension is compressing those files (if not cleared by the Joomla cache).


Hope that helps,

Always glad to help!

Happy to hear that you're really getting into JFBConnect with the 1.7 version. We're excited to see so many people seemingly moving away from Joomla 1.5. We loved it while it was here, but are very impressed with and happier developing for Joomla 1.7+. Will be happy when we can announce the last version to support J1.5, but that won't be for a while.

Anyways, we'd love the review when you have time, and we'll definitely keep up the good work

Best of luck to you and your site,
Alex

Glad to hear that helped you too! Should you need anything else, you know where to find us!

Eric,
In the file: /templates/gcnewj/css/template.css, at line 651 you'll see the definition for .art-nav. In that block, the z-index is set to 100, which is the same as our social buttons. Increase that to 110.

Hope that helps!

The z-index's are set to 100 because it makes the widgets compatible with more sites. The reason is that, if the z-index isn't set, on many sites, the Like button (especially the popup) will be hidden behind the content itself.

We've done some investigation and in the next release, we'll be changing the z-index to a default of 99. That's because we've noticed that many drop-down menus use a default z-index of 100, which causes unknown results as to whether the Like button will be above or behind it. With a z-index of 99, we think that will provide even better compatibility to be above the article content but below other common 'hovering' graphics. There will still be some sites with issues, and in those cases, we'll be here to help

Hope that explains!
Alex
