I don't know what else I can do haha

.msg-otd .otdtitlebar {display: none; padding: none !important; margin: none !important; border: none !important;}
.msg-otd .otdcontainer {padding: none !important; margin: none !important; border: none !important;}
.msg-otd .otdcontent {padding: none !important; margin: none !important; border: none !important;}
.msg-otd {border: none !important; margin: none !important; padding: none !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important;}

.otdtitlebar, .otdcontainer and .otdcontent - these are not classes that came with the plugin, so I'm assuming you have them in your stylesheet. If so, did you put those same class names without the preceding dot into the Advanced tab of the plugin? In the Advanced tab in the plugin, they should only be entered as otdtitlebar, otdcontainer and otdcontent. If you've got the dot in there, it won't target your classes properly.

Yes, they were put in correctly. Modifying them did get rid of all of those things (the border, the padding, etc, except for what I posted here about), there just seems to be some overarching padding that still exists for some reason.

I've edited my previous post. Please take a look. It may have the answer.

[atalkingfish]

Ah, you did! Thank you!

EDIT: I put that in, and I'm getting the same little border around it.

The only other thing I can think of is putting the !important flag back on all of the properties in the 3 custom classes you have for it.

If that does not work, I will need a forum URL to help further as it's very difficult to debug an issue without one.

So here's an image of what's happening



The first line is from a javascript random text thing, and the "test" is from the "On This Date" plugin. As you can see, there is still some padding of some sort. My forum url is atalkingfish.proboards.com. If you need to register, I'll approve you.

I've registered with the username of msg.

EDIT: Okay. You've currently got it to hide when empty, and not knowing exactly where you've got the <div> placed for it to show, it would be easier if you could temporarily set Hide When Empty to No so I can see a visual for it.

Also, you may run into problems with your May 5th and 9th entries, as you've entered them in as 5/05 and 5/09 respectively, when they should be just 5/5 and 5/9 (no preceding zeroes).

Let me know when you've unhidden it so I can inspect it. Thanks!

EDIT #2: I'm not making sense of this:


<div class="msg-otd" style="border: medium none;"></div>


I'd suggest getting rid of that inline styling, and change that to just this:


<div class="msg-otd"></div>


Let your classes (.otdcontainer .otdtitlebar and .otdcontent) take care of the styling.

[atalkingfish]

Hmm... that's odd... I'm looking in my global headers now and I'm seeing this:

<div class="msg-otd"></div>

I don't know where you're seeing the inline styling.

It appears to be in your Forum Wrapper template.

It's there somewhere. Maybe your Home template?

[atalkingfish]

Yeah, that would be in my global headers (I can tell because it's right below the random quote javascript), but it's not like that in the global headers.

atalkingfish,

I need you to have the plugin display something. I think I might have figured out the problem, but I need to be sure. Let me know when you've got it displaying something.

[Lynx]

Version 1.0.5 is now in the library. OP updated with fix.

I have just received this message

"Your plugin settings could not be saved. The data you entered requires 66010 bytes (the limit is 65535 bytes)."

Any suggestions or advice?

Many thanks

I took a look at your forum. It appears that you have so many events added, that you've hit the plugin's size limitations. That's a limitation on PB's end and nothing I can do about that. The only thing I could suggest is installing a second copy and just make sure you don't have duplicate dates listed. It shouldn't cause problems if you have them both (copies of the plugin) set to Hide When Empty (Hide = Yes) and don't have duplicate dates. By doing that, the copy that doesn't have the current date will hide and the one with a current date will show. The reason to make sure you don't have duplicate dates is due to the fact that the 2nd copy would overwrite any events in the 1st copy. Not in the settings itself, but for what gets displayed. The copy that gets loaded 2nd (the one further down in your manage list) would be the one that would get displayed if dates matched in both copies.

I didn't take a good look, but how many months of events do you have in the settings of the copy you've got running now?
