you're hacker

the answer is:

 

you have to define height param for <li> in homefeatured.

 

Without hardcoded li height param - the height for each elements is different, so it causes a gap under the li which has got different height (much bigger) than other elements

Thanks. How do I do that please?

go to the modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl file. You've got there probably something like:

 

<ul style="height:{$ulHeight}px;">
  {foreach from=$products item=product name=homeFeaturedProducts}
   <li class="ajax_block_product {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.first}first_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.last}last_item{else}item{/if} {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 0}last_item_of_line{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 1}clear{/if} {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration > ($smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.total - ($smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.total % $nbItemsPerLine))}last_line{/if}">

 

we are interested in this:

<li class="ajax_block_product {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.first}first_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.last}last_item{else}item{/if} {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 0}last_item_of_line{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 1}clear{/if} {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration > ($smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.total - ($smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.total % $nbItemsPerLine))}last_line{/if}">

 

add to this style="height:250px!important;"

 

something like:

 

 

<li style="height:250px!important;" class="ajax_block_product {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.first}first_item{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.last}last_item{else}item{/if} {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 0}last_item_of_line{elseif $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration%$nbItemsPerLine == 1}clear{/if} {if $smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.iteration > ($smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.total - ($smarty.foreach.homeFeaturedProducts.total % $nbItemsPerLine))}last_line{/if}">

 

apply changes and reload your store frontpage.

 

Remember that sometimes it is necessary to turn force compilaton on - this features is for "recompile" the theme. After all - turn it off.

 

 

sometimes, homefeatured.tpl file is also located in your theme directory:

themes/_your_theme_/modules/homefeatured/homefeatured.tpl if so - you have to apply changes there

 

 

let me know if this works for you

I marked this thread as solved for other forum members, now everyone will know how to fix this

 

anyway, you can also mark own threads as solved, here it is instruction form forum rules:

[sOLVED] Topic

 

If, after posting a topic, you find a solution to your problem, please indicate it in your post and describe the solution.

There is nothing more frustrating for users with the same issue who come across your post "all is good, I fixed it..." without an explanation of how to fix it.

 

Furthermore if you are the author of the topic for which a solution has been found, please edit your topic title to mark it as [sOLVED].

 

To mark a topic as [solved] :

- Edit the first post of your topic by clicking on the "Edit" button,

- Click on the "Use full editor" button,

- Add the "[solved]" string at the beginning of your topic title and click on the "Submit Modified Post" button.

 

Posters who do not abide by this (at the demand of the moderators or other users) will have their new topics closed until the problem has been resolved.

 

we will be gratefull if you will follow this steps in future :-)
