Webinterface menue in 2 rows after update
-
Thanks for the pointer, Jared. I do have that change. However the width issue persists. Playing around in Inspector, I adjusted the padding to 25px and 10px (padding: 0 25px 0 10px;) and it fits.
Perhaps different variations in the same font family? My system is using Verdana, as seen in the Inspector for the div
(Edit: Added the font information)
-
2.1.5 code-red menu
-
clear your browser cache or hit CTRL+F5, there were css changes in this release.
Start from scratch (empty Firefox profile) same problem.
Using Debian 7 (Wheezy), maybe this is a font issue problem like somebody else write in the forum?

Does not work
vi /usr/local/www/fbegin.inc
/goldremove
all your problems are over.

@ jdillard,
can confirm it work under Windows 7 / Firefox 31, but not under Debian 7 Linux / Firefox 31.
I guess this is the reason why you don't see this issue in your setup? -
it work also on centos firefox v. 24
-
Works fine for me using that theme on Ubuntu 14.04 and Firefox 31
Someone else noted that restarting their firewall GUI helped.
If you are accessing the firewall via proxy that could also explain a discrepancy if the proxy has the old files CSS cached.

I test reboot pfsense.
EDIT: Doesn't help.
No proxy, direct access to pfsense.
Did it work for you on Ubuntu with the "Verdana" font?
not ok: Debian 7 / Firefox 31 use font "Verdana"
ok: Windows 7 / Firefox 31 use font "Tahoma" -
without success on fedora 20 with firefox 31, chrome 37, opera 12.16 and web 3.12.1

Thanks for pointing that out. A possible solution is to edit your css to use a different font such as Arial like in this post: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=81073.msg442634#msg442634

My pleasure. Yes, switching to Arial, while itself less appealing, does work for the prescribed margins.
From all the feedback, it would appear that it's only the Verdana font that doesn't fit the margins. Consequently, I'm going to submit a pullreq with some padding values (24px and 12px) that work for Verdana.

What are the web interface devs using and testing on?
On my "old faithful" laptop with Ubuntu 10.04 and a whole bunch of browsers and VMs on it, I would at least be able to use the gui when needed.
I am OK with putting a menu item for support except it broke the menu structure. We are already a paid support user, so we don't need the reminderā¦
I wish I had time to help with the web interface. Whoever is working on it, please make it valid HTML and CSS, then make it responsive (Google it). All of your odd font, scaling and browser issues will melt away. OK, maybe not all, however the breakage we're seeing over the last few releases is due to the validity and non-scale development of the GUI.
A lot of us would like to be able to load it up on a wide screen to show off multiple columns dashboards for the CEO. You know they like pretty layouts and pictures...
Back when the wide screen (gasp - package) worked we could do that. I actually convinced a CEO and CFO into converting to pfSense and paying for support via a 3 column dashboard loaded up with a bunch of dashboard widgets. The 2 column limit on a big monitor looks very bad. (IMHO)
As of 2.1.5 I can not access the system menu unless I disable CSS. -
Talk to Charlie440 in hereā¦he just sent me a widescreen patch for 2.1.5
He is trying to make the GUI much responsive and usable.
-
I updated the system to 2.1.5 which added a new button "Gold". Due to this new button the "help" button moves directly under the "system" button. Now I can not click on the "system" button. Is there any possibility to remove the "gold" button to get the menue from 2.1.4 back?
I have the same problem. I'm unable to access the System menu. I use the Midori browser and Linux Mint.

"What are the web interface devs using and testing on?"
Can't say - But I can say that it seems like all of the problems that can't be fixed by purging the cache are on relatively stripped down OSes that have not much variety of fonts.
My guess is the devs are not testing on xubuntu/kubuntu/puppy liniux
That said, people have been crying loud and frequently so I expect a minor fix to be released soon enough.
I wouldn't panic.
-
Problem is the GUI itself. If it was W3C compliant then fonts would not be an issue.

Yeah - I'm not suggesting there is nothing wrong.Ā I'm suggesting they will fix it fast, so I'm not that worried now that they know.

I am having the same issue here with Firefox 31.0 running under openSUSE 13.1/KDE4.11.5. Cleaning the cache does not help.
The menue issue is very annoying because it prevents me even from using the "System" menu at all. I am always pushed into the "Help" menu.
Thanks for the hint to manually restrict fonts. As it took me some time to find the right version of all.css to change, I give here the full path:
/usr/local/www/themes/pfsense_ng/all.css

I wouldn't put my money on them cleaning this mess up:
https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/3841
The Bug was outright REJECTED.
Go figure.
