Divs are used for displaying content. Tables are used to show tables.
Where can I get a fix to get Refine Filters to be displayed correctly?

Hi

What's wrong with how the module is displayed? Please could you elaborate on that?

Regarding tables. Well, I do not like it either but at this stage we won't re-create the module just to be perfect in code. It works and it does what it's supposed to do. 95% of users do not even know what tables and divs are.

I don't let that comment count "Customers anyway don't know that tables are."
You develop a product/mod on high standard and because you want to create a great professional product whether customers/shop owners know or not how you do that.


Here's a screenshot of the display of filters. I replaced the text:

Thank you.

Whenever I do that the answer is:

- pay $99 for the investigation
- pay $xxx for the fix


That's why I pointed this out on this forum.
I even had customizations which didn't work properly and they wanted to charge for an investigation

They are always ready to refund money in case the bug is in our software.

We can re-fund you but we need to investigate.
If you would like proceed pay $99 for the investigation so we can decide about the refund.


It seems like I'm not the only one having this problem, so it might have to do with the mod itself.

My point is not about someone refunding me but saying the module needs additional work to function properly design-wise.

This should be easily fixed and looking t the image you posted it seems like the table cell is at some fixed width (or the space available makes it like this) so there is not enough space in it to fit the words. Simple check with Firebug will tell you what it is.

When you change the width the class is messing up other parts of the mod too. So you basically need to code a new class to fix every part of the mod.

All I say is: it's not okay t to sell a mod which needs additional coding to fix things to display correctly. It should work out of the box. Or at least there should be the desire and interest by the company to fix things.

Well in general any dev including QT will code it to work properly on stock XC and skin. There is no guarantee the module will fit or look ok on custom skin and you can expect to have to modify its appearance if using custom skin or stock modified skin....
If this happens on stock XC then yes it should work out of the box but not always with modified skin. XC demo site shows it ok - http://demo.x-cart.com/demo/home.php

I agree. However, the table should work properly in stock themes anyway when there's enough space. I think my main point is clear.
