Advanced Menu on AsideFirst is cut off - orchardcms

I've got an Advanced Menu in my Orchard CMS project.
First I had it in Navigation Zone and everything was fine until it became too wide, so I decided to move it to AsideFirst Zone and make it vertical.
But when I moved it I discovered that my menu is cut off by AsideFirst zone, the div element with class "zone-aside-first", to be exactly.
Whatever you do it stays inside that div and menu items that supoused to overlay other zones as it was in navzone are cut off.
I've tried to play with css style but it didn't help.
Any thoughts?

The answer happened to be very simple.
To solve the problem I just added a css style to AsideFirst Zone.
#aside-first { overflow: visible !important; }

Context menu for Tabulator

I try to use column header menus and row context menus in my tabulator but nothing appear. Then I realize in the DOM that the menu is there but out of the window and at the top of the tree in the dom, it's the div with the class tabulator-menu.
The DOM, the div with smd take the whole page
I use Vuejs with Bootstrap 4.
How to make it appear at the right place ?
Thanks
The menu is appearing in exactly the correctly place in the DOM.
It is standard practice in a lot of context menu libraries to append the menu directly to the body rather than to the element that triggered it, this happens because menus are often long and overflow their containing element, by absolutely positioning the elements in the DOM the sit on top of these and prevent this being an issue.
It is hard to say without seeing an example, but it is likely a z-index issue that is causing the problem.
By default Tabulator menus have a z-index of 10,000 if you have anything with a z-index higher than this it will sit over the menu.
To resolve this you simply need to add a bit of CSS after you have imported the tablator style sheet, that changes the z-index to be higher than any others on your page:
.tabulator-menu{
z-index: 99999999;
}

kentico widget config button unclickable

Is there any way to make a widget's config and move buttons be placed at the top of the widget itself.
As it is one has to hover over a widget in order to see which one of the items in the widget zone it belongs to. This is impossible though when the content of the widget is not in the same screen space (I had to zoom out in the browser in order to get the below screenshot) unless you zoom out and then zoom back in.
In this image, there are 3 seperate widgets (red, white and green respectively) in a single widget zone.
Also, when the mouse leaves the widget the widget config/move buttons are no longer visible.
One solution is to right-click on the widget and then scroll up to the config wheel but this is not something I want to tell my editors they have to do.
Has anyone else come across this problem and if so, how did they solve it?
This can happen when you have CSS conflicts. You can use Chrome Inspector, Firebug, or IE developer tool to investigate and see if anthing is 'overlapping' those buttons (often a floating div is overlapping the buttons and intercepting the 'click')
Then once you figure out a css class to make it work, just add it to your style sheet with ".EditMode " before it, this is a special class that is on the body when in page editor.
Example:
.EditMode .MyFloatingDivThatsCoveringTheWidgets {
z-index: 0;
}

How to hide Next/Previous buttons from Tumblr blog?

In my Tumblr blog there are "Next" and "Previous" buttons. Even though I have enabled infinite scrolling in the blog, sometimes the "Next" and "Previous" buttons are visible. Like when the Internet connection is slow, these buttons shows for a while and then disappear.
What I want is that these buttons should hide permanently.
I have searched for this on Internet but all the answer are like "Delete the pagination block from the code". But after deleting the pagination, infinite scrolling also stops.
Just add some rule into the css. It depends on the names of your elements. Something like:
.prev,
.next {
display: none;
}
This would be in the style tags towards the top of the template. There should already be some existing rules for the css for these elements.
If you can update your question with the names of the navigation it might even be simpler than this.
Edit your theme, and remove the code between
{block:Pagination} and {/block:Pagination}

How to create a DHTML menu?

I need to create a DHTML menu with the specified features, but I can't figure out how to do it. Here's what I need:
All items are layed out horizontally. If they would be wider than the screen, two little arrows appear on the right side of the menu that allow to scroll it. Something like this:
+--------+--------+-------+---+---+
| Item 1 | Item 2 | Item 3| < | > |
+--------+--------+-------+---+---+
Menu items should be clickable anywhere in the cell. They should stretch both vertically and horizontally to the contents. The text in the items should be centered both vertically and horizontally. The menu should work in IE7/Opera/FF/Safari.
The scrolling is the easy part - I just place it all in a container (say, a <div>), set the container to overflow: hidden and then play around in Javascript with clientWidth, scrollWidth and scrollLeft. That I've figured out and have already tried.
But how to make the menu items so stretchy, clickable anywhere and centered text?
Try the CSS below:
#menu {
display: table;
}
#menu a {
display:table-cell;
vertical-align:middle;
}
And then format your menu like:
<div id="menu">
normal text
<big>large text</big>
<span style="line-height:100px;">very tall text</span>
</div>
This will force vertical alignment and prevent the links from wrapping. Let us know how it works out.
OK, I talked with my superiors and they decided that it might be OK that you cannot right-click a menu item and select "Open in New Window". If this requirement is dropped, then I'm not bound to <a> elements for links. With JavaScript I can turn anything into a link. Thus, I choose you, pikachoo <table>!
Yap, it's a heresy, but it works. More specifically, it's the only construct that I can think of that can do all of the following at the same time:
Center text horizontally and vertically;
Stretch to contents horizontally and vertically;
Not wrap to next line when items are starting to overflow.
Anything else that can do the same will probably be more convulted anyway. And before anyone has the idea - no, I don't need search engine support. It's an internal web application. It'd be pretty bad if Google could index that...
clickable anywhere is easy: you can either bind the onclick event trigger (and hopefully some cursor styling) to the atomic cell element, or you can make the atomic cell elements <a> tags (or more likely wrap these in <li>) and link and style appropriately (padding, margin, foo).
e.g. case 1:
<ul id="menu"><li class="item" onclick="foo()" style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand; padding:1em; margin:1px; float: left;">FOO!</li></ul>
(obviously I don't really recommend inline styling or script handlers but you get the idea)
Applying padding will effectively centre the text, and having no width assigned they'll naturally stretch to fit their content.

ModalPopupExtender adding scrollbars in SharePoint

Whenever I show a ModalPopupExtender on my Sharepoint site, the popup shown creates both horizontal and vertical scrollbars. If you scroll all the way to the end of the page, the scrollbar refreshes, and there is more page to scroll through. Basically, I think the popup is setting its bounds beyond the end of the page. Has anyone run into this? Searching Google, it seems this may be a known problem, but I haven't found a good solution that doesn't include recompiling AJAX, which my boss will not allow.
Hacky answer would be to grab the IE Developer Toolbar, find the tag that has the scrollbar, and alter your CSS file to add the overflow:hidden property to it.
I assume the TargetControl is of sufficient size to hold everything you put in it? If so, try:
Set CSS overflow:hidden;
If the target control is a Panel, set scrollbars="none". Otherwise, put it in a panel and try it.
