How can I remove the gap over the read more link on the K2 Content? I have searched the CSS file, but cannot find where to remove the gap.

The gap is more than 1 inch so it is way to much gap for a news site.

Look at enclosed picture.

I simply made a copy of the mod_k2_content default template folder, named it differently (in fact, I have about four different templates done this way) and that template then appears in the list of available sub-templates in the module parameters.

Fortunately the K2 modules are vastly easier to understand than core Joomla template overrides and I've been able to modify them extensively to do what I want.

If you use Firebug (the extension for Firefox) you can inspect the code and find out what's taking up the additional space. K2 includes a lot of redundant code output in its modules: unfortunately this is the price you pay for the simplicity of the code output - Joomla's core code has a lot of logic thrown in.

For example, with the Joomla core content component, if you have 'read more' enabled, but you do not have extended text on the article, its logic will hide the 'read more' anyway, which is a good thing.

K2 does not do this - if you have 'read more' enabled, it shows on screen irrespective of the status of the extended text.

While I think that the code to make this happen should be made available in an easy-to-implement manner, I appreciate how simple it's been to get K2 to do 90% of what I need it to do.

I used firebug, but the design looks good in Firefox, the gap is only in IE and Safari. Anyone that knows what code to change so that I can get the same look in IE and Safari as in Firefox?

If you're on Safari 4 you have easy access to the Web Inspector, which functions similarly to FireBug - it's in the Develop menu.

Great. Found the solution. Thank you very much.

I'm having the same problem but I can't seem to find the CSS code that controls the extra space.. a hint? thanks

Maybe share your foundings ?

I am sorry, I don't remember the exact line I changed. I have removed K2 from my site, so I can not check. The solution worked for the gap, but at the same time some spacing that was needed on the article pages was removed, so it was not 100%.

this problem seems to affect IE, Chrome and safari but not firefox (for once) I have the same problem with my content modules when the intro text is set to a small amount - huge gaps before the end of the module, very strange.

Ok, any of you CSS guru's able to help with this one? I have attached screenshots and cannot seem to affect it by edit the K2 css module section so I am guessing it is defined within the article layout but where? The strange thing is in Firefox it has no whitespace but in all other browsers it looks the same as my attachments.

I have the same problem with IE, Chrome and safari - content modules with huge gaps before the end of the module. May be somebody will give answer, how we can solve it?

Ok I wanted to tackle this before, and now got around to it. It has to do with

< br class="clr" / > in the content module There is around 3 breaks. I'm not too sure but I think the breaks should be within the IF statements, which they aren't so its
< br class="clr" / >< br class="clr" / >< br class="clr" / > They add up...
Chrome and safari are built with webkit, so most likely why both are affected the same way. Test with other webkit browsers, and the same thing will probably happen. What I did was take away the breaks.

In the module parameters if your not using the video settings make sure you have it hidden, because that has 2 additional breaks.

Did anyone succesfully deal with this br problem? It keeps being there in 2.2 as well, and it seems it's hurting JED reviews!
Maybe some developer correctly solved this?

Hi iLLeT, OK, i'm almost there and that makes perfect sense but i'm struggling to find the breaks you mention - i use Coda and i can't seem to locate the file and code anywhere, any direction would be really helpful, thanks in advance, Leon
