Incorrect dashboard column spacing when using five columns
Added by Steve Wheeler about 2 months ago.
Updated 28 days ago.
Plus Target Version:
25.01
Description
Setting the dashboard to use 5 columns incorrectly shows spacing for 6 comlumns though the 6th cannot be used.
For example:
Tested: 2.7.2, 2.8-dev, 24.03 and 24.08-dev
Files
- Status changed from New to Confirmed
I'm also seeing this on
24.08-DEVELOPMENT (amd64)
built on Fri Oct 4 2:31:00 UTC 2024
FreeBSD 15.0-CURRENT
Setting it to 4 works as expected, as does 6.
- Subject changed from 5 column dashboard spacing incorrect. to Incorrect dashboard column spacing when using five columns
- Plus Target Version changed from 24.08 to 24.11
- Plus Target Version changed from 24.11 to 25.01
Issue is due to code in index.php:
<?php
$columnWidth = (int) (12 / $numColumns);
for ($currentColumnNumber = 1; $currentColumnNumber <= $numColumns; $currentColumnNumber++) {
//if col$currentColumnNumber exists
if (isset($widgetColumns['col'.$currentColumnNumber])) {
echo '<div class="col-md-' . $columnWidth . '" id="widgets-col' . $currentColumnNumber . '">';
$columnWidgets = $widgetColumns['col'.$currentColumnNumber];
this uses bootstrap's "col-md" classes, which use width percentages in steps of 1/12 (co-md-2 is 2/12, so 16.67%).
Since (int) 12/5 gives the result of "2", user has the impression that there are 6 evenly spaced columns but only 5 of them are used.
A workaround would be to create a new class with width of 20%, which doesn't exist inside bootstrap's "col-md" classes.
