Hey guys,
We are currently using the Theme Builder Plugin.
When pages are empty, or if they contain little content, the footer rises up to meet the bottom of the main Content.
Is this a potential bug, or is this the way Theme Builder was designed?
The problem was produced on Confluence 3.0, TB 3.3.6, I then backed up my layout, migrated it to a Confluence 3.1, TB 4.0.1 and the issue persists. Can I make the footer stick to the bottom of the window regardless of the absence of content?
Thanks & Cheers,
JA

If however your content is javascript based as well as being wiki-markup generared then you will need consultancy to help you locate a solution.

Forgive me for jumping in here, but I think that my problem may be similar to the one described. On one of our Confluence pages we have a card deck. One of the cards dynamically creates content using:
{table-plus:sortIcon=true|sortColumn=1|sortDescending=true}
{metadata-report:Page,Gate Status,Project Name,Project Description, Project Status, Home Page,Last Time Changed}
{table-plus}
In Confluence 2.10.3 this works fine. A long auto-generated list of items is displayed, extending beyond the screen height.
In Confluence 3.2.1, the same list is generated but the page footer appears at the bottom of the screen and, if the window is vertically scrolled, the footer sticks at that same point in the list such that it scrolls upwards with the list and appears in the middle of the list.
Is this the same problem that you are describing?
If so, I guess I should try Alain's suggested fix. Where is the 'custom html settings on the html tab' ? Do we need the html macro installed to make this work?
Best regards
David

No, i was just trying to get a small graphic element pinned to page footer irrespective of the content such that scrolled off-page content would roll out from underneath it. Mine was a purely cosmetic addition, what you've got sounds like a real formatting issue, and an ugly one to boot.
I think Alain's fix should do what you want, it'd certainly be a good starting point, also, what browsers have you seen this in?

They recommend resetting the site layouts to defaults but that did not fix our problem.

maybe.
I'm guessing you're using a custom theme of your own creation? If so i'd say the bug you mention and 17402 (it's dupe) are correct, "it's a brittle upgrade process".
what a PITA! sorry,I don't have much else to offer

On removal the page is OK. Interesting to note that the mark-up error caused no problem in Conf 2.5 and Conf 2.10.
Thanks for your help.
