Original design theme problems. Probably CSS failed.

URAN · Post by **URAN** » Fri Feb 10, 2006 4:46 pm

Every time I look my web or admin pages at my home PC I face strange trouble. Looks like CSS does not work.

Look at the screenshot :

1. On page enter (design broken)

2. On page refresh (normal)

If I llook into page source I can see the same code... never saw such things

I agree that it is probably the css not being recieved by your browser. Unless you can get some sort of debugging output from your browser, you will not find out what goes wrong on the client side. Have a look in your webserver logs to see if there are some errors retieving the css url. Browsers usually cache the css, so you would not expect every request to be accompagnied by a css request (unless you hit F5)
Cms also appears to log things, but I have not yet found out where these are stored.

Can you try to find out if this behaviour is reproducable and how others should reproduce it?
(oh and by the way: please don't use IE, firefox is much safer)

a few other people have reported this bug when using IE. We don't quite know what's causing it yet, so any help would be appreciated.

I can not say a bad word about this CMS, but the design made bad even for beginner:

I`ve tried CMS not only in IE, but Mozzila and Opera too. Result is the same. I have one suggestion about this CSS, will try to check it.

Some bugs are fixed. I had right suggestion. First, the designer SHOULD NOT apply .class for , but id (#). The second is the template itself.

I can guarantee that with this css and this login page, Login Page design will be stable in all browsers. If you want to use this fixxed files, just right click and "Save target as...", then upload `em to your CMS Made Simple dir (make backup of existing files if not sure).

In Opera 7 Browser I can see empty main page at the Admin Panel

URAN · Post by **URAN** » Sat Feb 11, 2006 11:18 am

Sure... Here it is - save target as login.php.txt

You mean to write what did I do step by step?

Hmmm....

You know, my original file (downloaded on yesterday evening) has this code:

Code: Select all

                        }

							<input class="lbsubmit" name="loginsubmit" type="submit" value="<?php echo lang('submit')?>" /> 
							<input class="lbsubmit" name="logincancel" type="submit" value="<?php echo lang('cancel')?>" />

					</form>
				</div>
			</div>
	</div>

</div>	
<__body>

I`ll try to download it again.

Oh, Patricia, thank you my friend very very much!!!

URAN · Post by **URAN** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 5:15 pm

... You know, came home, start CMS on my home PC and I can say that nothing has changed $:-\$

So, I still can see Admin Page theme design at IE 6.0 after refresh, never at Mozzila and always (partically) at Opera (but never WYSIWYG).

I think the most stable solution is to include css itself into the page not like a link to a css file, but like a code. Just like IPB team do at their products. That pages looks correct even offline.

By the way I can see Login Page always correctly. If we look at the source code we can see that in Login Page style attached directly:

and

at Admin Page

or

at Front page...

Do you know what file to edit to make direct link to stylesheet like at Login Page and forget about this
headache?

Nope, it not works!

By my hosting provider`s advice I included into CMSMS parent directory .htaccess file with this code:

Code: Select all

php_flag zlib.output_compression Off

For Admin pages I solve it this way:

At defaultTheme.php file

Replaced

Code: Select all

function OutputHeaderJavascript() {
echo '<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="themes/default/includes/standard.js"></__script>';
}

With

Code: Select all

function OutputHeaderJavascript() {
echo '<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="themes/default/includes/standard.js"></__script>';
echo '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen, projection" href="themes/default/css/style.css">';
}

Hi I have followed this thread , and another one, and tried uploading the modified style.php , that didnt work. But now I uploaded the .htaccess file as suggested in my CMSMS root folder, and this seems to have worked, I can now use Admin in IE with the correct CSS style applied. Thanks for this help. However is this safe?
