Hi Bkrztuk

i checked on beez5 and it appears fine.

i checked on another site i have aswell - using shopandbuy template and that too does not have category options in list)

on default joomla templates the list appears fine though... on both websites. have attached a screen cap of beez for you

As I can see you use version for Joomla! 3 and I've tested the same with clean quickstart installation and there is this kind of problem, please look » screenshot. This is default Joomla! create article view?

Do you use latest template version? It is quite impossible that I get totally different view than you on submit article layout

i dont think so - as i have had to make many many customisations etc to make the template work...

do you know where / what files i can fix to fix this problem without having to completely rebuild???

Could you provide me access details to your website? Please sent them via PM and remember to include link to this forum topic. FTP access probably will be required.

hi - have sent a message - any ideas?

The problem is cause by some 3rd party CSS which overwrite default dropdown elements. Please add this code to override.css file in root/templates/gk_template_name/css directory :

Code: Select all

.chzn-container .chzn-results { overflow: visible !important}


and then just remember to enable "Use override CSS" option in template advanced settings tab.
