Trailhead Lightning Component Framework Specialist Step 3 - Tile style issue

Hello there,

I'm currently having a styling issue at the the step 3 of the Trailhead Lightning Component Framework Specialist,

here is what it's currently looks like :

User-added image

and what it is supposed to look :

User-added image

This is the BoatTile component code :
  
<aura:component >

    <aura:attribute name="boat" type="Boat__c" />
    <aura:attribute name="selected" type="Boolean" default="false" />
    
    <aura:registerEvent name="BoatSelect" type="c:BoatSelect"/>
    <aura:registerEvent name="BoatSelected" type="c:BoatSelected"/>

        <lightning:button class="{! v.selected == true ? 'tile selected' : 'tile' }" onclick="{!c.onBoatClick}">
            <div style="{!'background-image:url(\'' + v.boat.Picture__c + '\')'}" class="innertile">
                <div class="lower-third">
                    <h1 class="slds-truncate">{!v.boat.Contact__r.Name}</h1>
                </div>
            </div>
        </lightning:button>

</aura:component>

and the associated style :
  
.THIS.tile {
    position:relative;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 220px;
    padding: 1px !important;
}

.THIS.innertile {
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

.THIS.lower-third {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    padding: 6px 8px;
}

.THIS.selected {
    border: 3px solid rgb(0, 112, 210);
}

Any help would be great, I am a bit confused not to have this displayed correctly.

Thanks lot !

Hi Emilien Guichard 40

You have not written the styling code properly. Try using this code :
  
.THIS {
    
}
.THIS.tile {
    position:relative;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 220px;
    height: 220px;
    padding: 1px !important ;
    margin-bottom:5px;
}

.THIS .innertile {
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
   
}

.THIS .lower-third {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    padding: 6px 8px;
    
}

.THIS.tile.selected {
    border:3px solid rgb(0, 112, 210);
        
}

I have the exact same problem, hopefully someone can suggest a fix.

I have the same issue. What browsers are you guys running on? 32-bit or 64-bit? I'm running Chrome 63 (32 bit). I've posted the question on the Salesforce Stackexchange (https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/202966/styling-issues-lightning-component-framework-specialist-superbage). It seems if I remove the "innertile" class it doesn't change the behavior, I don't think that class is being read for some reason.

I am running Chrome Version 62.0.3202.94 (Official Build) (64-bit).  Also, if I remove innertile it does not make any difference on how it displays.

I more or less found the answer: swing over to this link: https://salesforce.stackexchange.com/questions/202966/styling-issues-lightning-component-framework-specialist-superbage/203119#203119 I have my code and images posted. In short I replaced the lightning:button with a plain button, moved the background image there and moved the CSS

Hi,
You need to put space (eg:   .THIS .innertile and not   .THIS.innertile ) for descendant selectors. Refer https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/components_css.htm for more information.

Hi RavisH,

Just changed the BoatTile.css to the following : 
.THIS .tile {
    position:relative;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 220px;
    padding: 1px !important;
}

.THIS .innertile {
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

.THIS .lower-third {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    padding: 6px 8px;
}

.THIS .selected {
    border: 3px solid rgb(0, 112, 210);
}
and here is the result :

User-added image

For the records, I'm running Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (64 bits).

Here is the CSS I used which is not the same as the CSS posted above:
  
.THIS.tile {
    position:relative;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 100%;
    height: 220px;
    padding: 1px !important;
}

.THIS .innertile {
    position: relative;
    background-size: cover;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
}

.THIS .lower-third {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, .4);
    padding: 6px 8px;
}

.THIS.selected {
    border: 3px solid rgb(0, 112, 210);
}

I also had to make some changes in the BoatSearchResults markup:
  
<lightning:layout horizontalAlign="space" multipleRows="true">

    	    <aura:iteration items="{!v.boats}" var="boatVar">
                <lightning:layoutItem size="3">   
                    <c:BoatTile boat="{!boatVar}" selected="{!boatVar.Id == v.selectedBoatId ? true : false }" /> 
                </lightning:layoutItem>
            </aura:iteration>
    		
            <aura:if isTrue="{!v.boats.length==0}">
                <lightning:layoutItem class="slds-align_absolute-center" flexibility="auto" padding="around-small">   
                    <ui:outputText value="No boats found" />
                </lightning:layoutItem>
            </aura:if>

    </lightning:layout>

Took me awhile to see what I did wrong. I mostly work in LWC these days, so I was not familiar with this quirk. The problem is the space or abscence of space in the selection, .THIS.className vs. .THIS .classname. To find out wheh to use what, check out this article from the documentation (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/components_css.htm).

In reference to the example provided in the documentation: 

"The <div class="white"> element matches the .THIS.white selector and renders with a white background. Note that there is no space in the selector as this rule is for top-level elements.

The <li class="red"> element matches the .THIS .red selector and renders with a red background. Note that this is a descendant selector and it contains a space as the <li> element is not a top-level element."
