Header prevents access to top tabs and login fields on ipad

Installation and Configuration

Douglas, I found the following code:
in my active (custom ninja-based) skin and I put it just like that in what looked like a logical spot in each of my mobile_core or tablet_core CSS files one at a time, integ check etc...but saw no change on my iPad, sorry. I've set it back again.
Do you think maybe one of those ! important mentions in my tablet css code I posted (see way above) might be overriding things?

Ok thanks Doug,...but that only applies a hamburger (phone-like) menu to tablets, which is not what I want- plus it doesn't stop the top of pages and what's on them from continually sliding under the header, making stuff like top tabs on profile pages inaccessible...like on my video at top of this thread. I removed the 'static' fix now.

No Perrie- note that Michael's instructions state "without the spaces". He had to put spaces so it wouldn't trigger the action when he was just trying to describe to you.
Here, I'm attaching a PICTURE of what you should type in with the brackets on each end of the code you want to post here in a forum post... note there are no spaces in the word "code" or within each bracket and / etc.

edit: Ah- I see you 'got it' now! :D

Update: got same report just now from a member who's on a Dell Android tablet using Firefox.

Perrie, these instructions will enable you to post code samples here in the help forum in the future. I hope you take note of how to do it- I use it all the time myself when asking for help here.

I'm afraid I', still having this issue, and I have more members contacting me that they can't log in on their tablets (iPads so far). I've asked them and they are using Safari but I see the same issue on both Safari and Chrome on my iPad Mini.
I think this is happening on tablets but not on phones, because the phones have their own 'hamburger' menu that isn't getting aggressively covered up by the header.
I tried the suggested CSS tweaks above, but could not get it fixed that way, so I removed what I did and am square one again.
Sorry, but I don't know how to proceed from here

Maybe can other JR6 users test this on their iPads by logging out and then in again, to provide more clues as to whether this is widespread beyond just me?

glitch when posting links to site media urls in comments/posts

Using Jamroom

Micheal,
here's the thing- I LIKE it that when you simply paste a link to a site video or audio clip into the text editor (without using special buttons) that it creates a mini player right there in your post so folks can click and watch the vid right there. And i LIKE that I can also paste a link to say a group page or a forum discussion (or some random webpage online) there directly in my post (without using a button) and it will automatically produce a live link to that location.

So it makes sense to consider eliminating the 'link button' from the editor altogether. But I can't consider weliminating it for one important reason: there are many times when I'm making a response post in someone's item (maybe their video, audio clip, or their discussion)...where I want to insert a LINK to say a Youtube clip in order to make my point but I DON'T want to create a giant active clickable YT video in the middle of my post. Sometimes doing that is way too 'in yer face' and can feel obnoxious when making a comment on someone's video or being in a discussion someone else is conducting. Sometimes I want the option in my post of just placing a link to a YT or soundcloud item without waving that media right in everyone's faces and taking attention away from the original poster's item.
As it is now, there seems to be no way to insert a simple link to a media item without having it embed as a clickable player version in one's post. The 'link button' should be able to fill that function I would think, but when used for making links to media items it's producing these renegade posts that are malformed. I hope I've described this clearly.

Yes, using the 'link' button should just result in creating a simple live link taking you to a page that's somewhere else. I think that's generally standard online anyway.


I'm a little unclear about that latter part of your post.
'Pasted into the editor'...where, how? I also don't know what a 'card' is.
My members have been getting used to using the 'film strip icon' in the Editor to embed functioning media (YT vids, Soundcloud audio clips etc) into their posts. Learning that seems to be working for them. They also know how to use the 'attach' button for images.

I do know that using the editor's 'link' chainlink icon should simply result in a hotlink to another location online, I dont think it should embed and/or open videos or other media clips.

On the OTHER hand...if i don't use any button at all, but simply paste in a URL link in my discussion post of the url of one of my site videos or audios, (or a youtube video on YT maybe)... doing that should result in a 'mini view' (for want of a better term) with a PLAY button for members to play the site video or audio right there in my post. Is that what you mean by 'card'? If so, then yes. And that function is working great!

That's correct, I just tested it. If you use a different title that you create yourself, then the link forms properly.

One thing that contributes to it happening is: after pasting in the URL in the url input box, then the moment you click your cursor in the 'title' field, it immediately AUTO-FILLS in that very same url for you rather than even waiting for you to type in a title or descriptive text. So the system behaves in a way that makes the occurrence almost inevitable.

That would be great Michael. It is causing some problems now, I've had members telling me they can't delete or edit their post when it comes out screwed up like this. It also screws up the layout of a Group's main page when it occurs in the Group's Comment wall.
Thanks for your help.
