Can't get to category updates - footer covering left nav

[imprint]

When I try to update categories, the template gets all messed up in admin - the footer doesn't move to the bottom of the page, and it covers up the left navigation which has the items I need to get to. I've attached a screen capture of what's happening.

Are there are other templates I can use, or which files do I update in templates/default or CSS in order to make the footer actually move down to the footer area?

By the way, I also found this fix:

https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/co ... b47#diff-0

However, when I compare the suggested fix with the file on our server, it appears as though these changes are applied already. Still have the footer overlap issue.

Thorsten as major developer is offline until the end of November. I think he needs to look into this.

Please send him directly an email and attach your a backup of your database (or at least the faqcategories table) with a reference on this forum thread.

For the meantime I suggest you following workarond:
- In the frontend find you the category number by mouseover
- If you enter the URL in the browser you should be able to open it: http://<yourFAQ>/admin/?action=editcategory&cat=<category number

Or modify it with phpMySQL...

I guess I'll try with phpMySQL, because your suggestion will definitely work for existing categories, but I still have to add several new categories and subcategories and can't get to the link due to the footer overlap. Thanks for your suggestion though, that does help a little.

Hello imprint,

I receive the same error. Here is a temporaly solution:
Type in the URL http://yourdomain/.../admin/?action=addcategory

or goto ../admin/style/admin.css and edit line 323

/* Footer */
footer {
position: absolute; left: 0; width: 100%; background: #222; }

Remove the syntax "background: #222;", add a new category, restore your syntax.

That´s it.

Hi,

I thought I fixed this in 2.7.1. Damn!

Please write me an email with your category structure so I can test it.

bye
