Bulleted lists in articles?

[sremick]

Do articles not support bulleted lists?

When I try to make a bulleted list in an article, the displayed version lacks the bullet dots. Bulleted lists work fine in regular posts on my forum.

SMF 2.1 RC1, TP 1.6.2

BBC or HTML articles?

The SMF css removes the bullet points from UL and LI lists, we need to enable it again on article_inner ul, li lists.

Code Select Expand


.article_inner ul
{
    list-style: unset !important;
}

Seems to be happening on HTML articles only...

I think I remember having some issues with the 2.1 css behaving differently from 2.0 before. Can't recall if I saw this one before...

The BBC article seem to just output the BBCode when I view the article. Looks fine while typing.

The HTML one looks fine while typing but loses the bullets when viewing the article.

We seem to have plagued with the bullets issue ever since we first went responsive. lol.. There's various posts on here about that.

[@rjen]

I know now :  even before going responsive, when I first installed Illori's TP version for 2.0 this popped up: I applied a css class to my <ul>  elements then to prepare for 2.1 migration...

Mind you: that was years ago now...

testing that, but now I have the problem with <ol>

unsetting the list-style is also unsetting the list-style-type from decimal...

SMF should really only target the element they want rather than the blanket one... we are limited in what we can do.

[@rjen]

Well this seems to fix most of it...

Illori raised this issue 3 years ago and it was shot down...

I'm afraid , once a certain person digs their heels in you've got very little chance of changing something.

Does seem a bit bad that it's such a global element. There's a few in there which I found while playing with themes. like,

Code Select Expand

.hidden {
display: none;
}

Which completely upsets the board stats and throws them out of line when you have no posts in those boards, or a redirect board.

That applies to pretty much every contributer on the SMF team 

Not that I can be any better when I want to develop something, I tend to do it my way... its a inherent character flaw in most developers.

please add your thoughts.

FYI... changing the article type to BBC (from HTML) provided some whitespace spacing between the list items, but the bullet circles are still missing.

I have a feeling this isn't going to go our way.  Looks like it's down to the mod authors to work around it.

I do not expect a correction from TP: I just committed a css fix for Tinyportal...

If you just change the article type the html codes will remain in the article, and the problem persists: you will als have to update the html tags to bbc tags manually for them to take effect...

Thanks @rjen

Just tested that code on my local. Seems to fix the bullets on my html articles.

The bbc articles I'm still having a problem with, It's fine when you're editing, but it just shows the bbcode code when viewing the article.  They were messing about with bbcode in 2.1 I'm wondering if this is the result of that.

BBC still works fine for me. Did you update SMF from github recently?

[sremick]

Cleaning out the HTML and adding in the BBC equivalents from scratched resolved this for me.

Nope, just running RC1 Release atm, haven't done any updating since, and was just awaiting RC2.

[@rjen]

I see what you mean, but tbf: is that proper bbc code?

When I paste your code in bbc article and view I get what you get, then I open the article again and it is automatically changed to what I was expecting...

Code Select Expand


[list]
[li]one[/li]
[li]two[/li]
[li]three[/li]
[/list]

[list type=decimal]
[li]one[/li]
[li]two[/li]
[li]three[/li]
[/list]


Then it shows..

That was the code my bbc editor put in, I grabbed it from the view article page.

Does the same on my live test site, as you can see here, https://cctestsite.info/testsite3/index.php?page=3

I'll update my TP install tonight and see what happens.

Still the same problem with lists in bbc blocks..

What version of 2.1 are you guys running, I mean is it the release version of 2.1 RC1 or are you running slightly later one from GitHub?

Edit:  I take that back, it seems to be working now. I'll update my live TS and see if that works as well.
