Some Category Layout Types are strange

[ianus]

Greetings!

In my opinion there are some strange things going on when it comes to the different layout types.

Link to my site: not live ââ,¬â€œ only beta testing
SMF version: 2rc3
TP version: 1.0 beta 5-1
Theme name and version: default
Browser Name and Version: Firefox 3.6.3
Mods installed: TP & AevaMedia

I found two entrys in the bugtracker which seems to meet the same issues.

I have created a video to show visually what I am talking about.

(I will delete it after a short while)


Know lets start.

I have created three articles and put them into a Demo Category.
Layout type is A

1.) Layout is Normal Article
Display works like expected.


2.) Switch Layout to Normal + icons
This shows something like a ââ,¬Å"default iconââ,¬Â next to the article.
- Problem is, that I have specified an ââ,¬Å"own iconââ,¬Â for this category and have expected that this one is shown up.


3.) Switch Layout to Icon + links
I expect the category item to be displayed followed by a row of links to the articles.

Instead I see headline + ââ,¬Å"default iconââ,¬Â for the first article
and headline + intro text for the other articles.

Additionally the edit & social bookmark buttons are missing for all articles but the first one.
This happens also in Article view.


4.) Switch Layout to Picture + Article / Picture + Article2
Display works like expected.


5.) Switch layout to Menu + Article
I donââ,¬â,,¢t know what menu ââ,¬Â¦ but thatââ,¬â,,¢s not the point.
This displays the first article (without icons) followed by the headlines of the next articles.
If I *klick* onto a headline, I only get a new page with this headline but without the article contend.


6.) Switch layout to Just links.
I expect the design which I have seen while sowing Menu + Article = a list of (only) headlines of each article.

What I get is the headline followed by the Intro Text ââ,¬â€œ if it is active.
If the Intro Text is unmarked I see a small part of the first row of the article itself.


Hope this will help to improve this awsome Portal.
