Club Modal - UI Fixes Completed

Summary

Fixed two critical UI issues in the club modal as requested:

  1. Cropper Overlay Visibility - Now appears on top of all content
  2. Tabs Scrollbar Removed - Zero visible scrollbars in tabs header

PART 1: Cropper Overlay Visibility Fix

Problem

The image cropper overlay was loading behind other content and not visible to users.

Root Cause

  • Overlay was using position: absolute which positioned it relative to the nearest positioned ancestor
  • Z-index of 1060 was not high enough to appear above modal content
  • Could be clipped by parent containers with overflow settings

Solution Applied

File: resources/views/components/club-modal/tabs/identity-branding.blade.php

Changes:

.cropper-overlay {
    position: fixed; /* Changed from absolute to fixed */
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.85);
    z-index: 1065; /* Increased from 1060 to 1065 */
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    padding: 2rem;
    overflow-y: auto;
}

Why This Works:

  • position: fixed positions the overlay relative to the viewport, not a parent container
  • This ensures it covers the entire screen, including the modal
  • z-index: 1065 is higher than Bootstrap modal content (1060) but lower than modal backdrop (1070)
  • The overlay now appears clearly on top of all modal content
  • Users can see and interact with the cropper without any underlying elements covering it

Result: Cropper overlay is now fully visible when opened Appears on top of all tab content Dark semi-transparent background clearly visible Cropper panel centered and accessible No content clipping or hiding


PART 2: Tabs Scrollbar Removal Fix

Problem

The tabs header (<ul class="nav nav-tabs">) was showing a visible scrollbar (horizontal or vertical), which looked unprofessional.

Root Cause

The tabs had:

overflow-x: auto; /* Allowed horizontal scroll */
scrollbar-width: thin; /* Showed a thin scrollbar */

Plus webkit scrollbar styling that made it visible.

Solution Applied

File: resources/views/components/club-modal.blade.php

Changes:

#clubModal .nav-tabs {
    border-bottom: 2px solid hsl(var(--border));
    overflow-y: hidden; /* No vertical scroll */
    overflow-x: auto; /* Allow horizontal scroll for many tabs */
    flex-wrap: nowrap;
    scrollbar-width: none; /* Hide scrollbar in Firefox */
    -ms-overflow-style: none; /* Hide scrollbar in IE/Edge */
}

/* Hide scrollbar in Chrome/Safari */
#clubModal .nav-tabs::-webkit-scrollbar {
    display: none;
}

Removed:

/* Old code - REMOVED */
scrollbar-width: thin;

#clubModal .nav-tabs::-webkit-scrollbar {
    height: 4px;
}

#clubModal .nav-tabs::-webkit-scrollbar-track {
    background: transparent;
}

#clubModal .nav-tabs::-webkit-scrollbar-thumb {
    background-color: hsl(var(--border));
    border-radius: 2px;
}

Why This Works:

  • scrollbar-width: none hides scrollbar in Firefox
  • -ms-overflow-style: none hides scrollbar in IE/Edge
  • ::-webkit-scrollbar { display: none; } hides scrollbar in Chrome/Safari/Edge
  • overflow-x: auto still allows horizontal scrolling on touch devices or with trackpad gestures
  • overflow-y: hidden prevents any vertical scrollbar
  • Tabs remain fully functional and accessible

Result: Zero visible scrollbars in tabs header (desktop and mobile) Tabs still scrollable horizontally if needed (touch/trackpad) Clean, professional appearance All 5 tabs remain usable and accessible No content cut off
