News module: very unusual field labels

[spida]

Hi,

after fussing a bit with the news module I eventuall got it to work on my installation. Now, I am experiencing a quite new problem: Very unusual texts are displayed as labels above some input fields. See screenhsot below or online
http://www.e-daktik.de/modules/news/comment.php?id=16&sid=3

Where can I change these labels?

Thanks in advance for your help,
spida

Hello,

all design you find in the modules css (frontend.css) and in the css of your template.

Hi Matthias,

I am not suprised about the design, it's the content, the text. If you take a closer look, you see that there is a line saying:

email address: Leave this field email blank:

where it should just be

Email address

.
Additionally I would like to have these labels in German instead of in English.

Do you have any idea where this bug might be invoked?

EDIT: I just checked the source code and saw that the code is produced by

Code:

<p class="nixhier">

What can I do about this?

EDIT 2: I found this in comment_page.php:

Code:

<?php if(ENABLED_ASP) { // add some honeypot-fields
    ?>
    <input type="hidden" name="submitted_when" value="<?php $t=time(); echo $t; $_SESSION['submitted_when']=$t; ?>" />
    <p class="nixhier">
    email address:
    <label for="email">Leave this field email blank:</label>
    <input id="email" name="email" size="60" value="" /><br />
    Homepage:
    <label for="homepage">Leave this field homepage blank:</label>
    <input id="homepage" name="homepage" size="60" value="" /><br />
    URL:
    <label for="url">Leave this field url blank:</label>
    <input id="url" name="url" size="60" value="" /><br />
    Comment:
    <label for="comment">Leave this field comment blank:</label>
    <input id="comment" name="comment" size="60" value="" /><br />
    </p>
    <?php }
    ?>

Why are the "honeypots" displayed on the example page? They are not on my local installation,btw.

Best regards,

Hello Spida.
This has to do with Spam-Protection.

So leave this there and use the class "nixhier" to get rid of this in the Frontend.

Regads,

Hi Stefek,

gosh, things can be so easy. For some unknown reason the modules backend css did have

Code:

/*** Don't remove the class nixhier, this is required for ASP ***/
.nixhier {
    display:none;
}

but this definition was nevertheless ignored.
After adding it to my generic stylesheet everything is OK.

Thanks for your help,
have a nice weekend,
spida

For this class is used in all Modules which use the ASP, it's a good Idea to put this line inside the global css file.
You're welcome.

Anyway, you can also enforce a "browser reaction" if you use !important right after the value in your declaration.

Like this:

Code:

.nixhier {
    display:none !important;
}

This should work then in the frontend.css

Stefek
