Styling, table sizing, js loading

    Hi. A few issues/requests,

    The table content breaks over lines because the table cells aren’t wide enough. Could you offer any idea how to force the table cell width a bit wider? Which css?

    I’d like to style the preview modal to match my others – but you’ve !important on it all. Why? Bringing me to…

    Feature suggestions:

    You use !important in much css. Since most selectors are unique (mdocs-xyz) there’s no need. Could you remove the !important and make it easier to add custom styles?

    The jquery call added by MD is very early in the page – forcing me to move jquery load into the head. Could it be moved to the footer for page-speed?

    Great plugin tho, and thanks ??

    I need to see you site in actions in order to find a solution for you.

    Since mDocs has to interact with so many different styles the important tag used in order to counter act theme styles removing them would break other peoples experience.

    I’ve been testing this for more than 2 years now and this is the best solution currently.

    If you want you could disable mDocs jQuery from the setting menu and then load you own jQuery using your theme.

    Thanks. Fair point about compatibility with so many themes/plugs.

    I do load my own JQuery – but if I do so in the footer, I get an error and MDOCS fails.

    This line causes the issue:

    ‘ <script type=”application/x-javascript”>
    jQuery( document ).ready(function() {
    mdocs_wp(‘https://recovery.digitalsmithy.co.uk/wp-content/plugins/memphis-documents-library/&#8217;, ‘/home/digitals/public_html/recovery/’);
    });
    </script>
    ‘

    It complains about jQuery being undefined (as it hasn’t loaded yet).

    The site is still in dev here: recovery.digitalsmithy.co.uk

    Advise on table format still appreciated – and thanks for your work/response ??

    good point, I will add a feature that will have the ability to load either in the header or footer.

    sorry – is resources or (cogs) (i’m playing with the menu a bit…) to get to mdocs…

    so refresh me again, what is the issue with the table again?

    ok. doing 3 things at once. mdocs is under the ‘book’ menu item not cogs…

    not an ‘issue’ as such. Have turned all columns back on. when you view it, especially in smaller browser (laptop), all columns are too narrow for content.

    I’ve noticed the total room (table head width) isn’t used (i.e. columns don’t fill table width).

    I can set font to 13px and it all looks nicer and fits – but I need 16px really (accessibility)

    But I’m struggling to see what css to mess with to increase column widths…

    open the memphis-documents.css file: starting at line 126:

    /* TABLE STYLE */
.mdocs-list-table #batch { word-break: break-all !important; width: 1%; }
.mdocs-list-table #title { word-break: break-all !important; font-size: 14px !important; }
.mdocs-list-table #downloads { word-break: break-all !important; width: auto !important; text-align: center; }
.mdocs-list-table #version { word-break: break-all !important; width: auto !important; text-align: center; }
.mdocs-list-table #owner { word-break: break-all !important; width: auto !important; text-align: center;}
.mdocs-list-table #update { word-break: break-all !important; width: auto !important; text-align: center;}
.mdocs-list-table #rating { width: 11% !important; text-align: center; }
.mdocs-list-table #download { width: auto !important;  text-align: right; padding: 0 5px 0 0 !important; }

    notice the width: auto, you can change these values to a set width or percentage.
