Posts Categories & Search Result BOXES

id like to know this too. Baloo any fixes for this that you know of?

Well I'm 100% agree the titles are rendered useless because they are truncated too much and therefore illegible. It's even worse in French than in English because most words are longer. That's why I talked about it here and I proposed a solution: Big gap and remedy for titles and notifications truncated ?

This post is exactly 1 year old, a ticket has been opened, and I really think it should be implemented as quickly as possible.
Note that this also applies to notifications. It is still very serious that I can only read the first 3 words of the subject of a notification.
So for me it's really a big priority and it seems like I'm not alone.

Why not put the title first? (With the date and author in the small print.) That is the usual convention.

Yup! That's one of the changes I want to make. There are so many template & css files, I need a little help as to where to find them.

Hiya Jeff, you may want to slow down and not tamper with these original files. Otherwise your next update could be a disaster. Trust me on this. Haha. 

You will likely need to add custom css in your custom template settings. Each template has this provision. It's a little more complicated - it overwrites the previous values - but the reward will be great.

Good luck!

I agree. Funny you mentioned that though. I did modify a template file for viewing posts & discussions. Wanted a custom font for my titles. The 10.0 update overwrote it, but I simply re-uploaded the new template file with small changes. I prefer not to have to make this a habit if I don't have to. Will wait on thoughts from UNA.

Yes, but above where below is a choice of design In all cases I must be able to read the entirety of a title, it is his goal. Let me remind you of the definition of a title.

Title
Titled, inscription placed at the head of a book, an article, a text and which indicates its contents.

In the example that I can see above, and in most cases, the title can not fulfill its role and makes the definition lie.

Looks like I'll have to fix this myself, so my visitors know what they are clicking on. Otherwise, they just won't click.

Good to have this re-echoed. I had also posted more than one year about this on this link https://una.io/page/view-discussion?id=1258 

I still don't know why the development team feels so comfortable with a misnormal that is so glaring.

I expect that this would have been addressed. It's not good for any website that is focused on content or publication. This to me cannot be categorised as enhancement. It's a fault that needs correction.

MY FIX (took less than 10 minutes)...

Just two relevant files for category boxes & search result boxes to display normally:

1. modules/base/text/template/css  MAIN.CSS

ADD the following code to your CUSTOM STYLES and CLEAR CACHE.
(Protean example: go to PROTEAN > STYLES > CUSTOM STYLES)

/* custom - modules > base > text > template > css > main.css  */
.bx-base-text-unit-gallery h2 {
max-height: none !important;
white-space: normal !important;
}
/* custom - end  */

2. modules/base/text/template  UNIT_GALLERY.HTML

Make a copy of the original/current unit_gallery.html file and save it locally/on your server as a backup.

Copy and paste the attached text file into unit_gallery.html and upload.

If you compare to the original file, you'll see that all I did was to flip the html around to display the TITLE and META before the thumbnail/summary.

For a few of my websites, I just wanted the Title and Meta, without the summary/thumbnail, and hid those particular lines of code. It's up to you. 

Just remember to clear all cache on your admin dashboard when done. On future UNA updates, this file may be overwritten (so you may have to repeat this).

Here is the result (notice the difference from my original post). :)

After my easy fix (above), clickthru rates are up big since visitors now know the title of the posts they are clicking on. :)
