Lost style sheet to CMSMS admin [solved]

[thepieman]

Hi

I've been developing a new template, and was jut about to go back to work on it when I noticed that the stylesheet that controls the layout of the CMSMS admin has gone.

What I'm seeing now is what you would expect to see if you turned off stylesheets on a website, was thinking of uploading and over-writing everything and perhaps trying a reinstall.

Any ideas please.

Did you check the stylestheet is really gone?
(check the presence of admin/style.php and admin/themes/default/css/style.css)
This kind of behaviour (admin shown without style) can occur on 1.0 when you have a non-compatible module present in your modules folder.

Thanks Dee

Sorted, I uploaded the Album module to the site this morning and that's when things started to go wrong. The version of album is one I downloaded from the CMSMS sight some months ago.

Anyhow deleted it and all is well with the CMS.

Once more many thanks Dee

Got the same problem. Uploaded the Album and Singapore Gallery. They both didn't meet my expectations.
Stupid: I just deleted both maps in stead of using the "Uninstall-function"of het module manager.
A screenprint of the result is attached...
How can I fix the orginal style sheet that controls the layout of the CMSMS admin ?

Problem solved!

Also uploaded the Bilder module (via backend/FTP).
After removing this complete directory (again via backend/FTP) everything was normal again!

I am having the same problem with a site I am working on. Can you please list all of the steps you took to fix this problem?

Thanks,

The style sheet disappeared after I installed the Bilder add-on. This module needs to be installed by uploading the Bilder files via backend (FTP upload)
After doing so, the style sheet was gone.
So I deleted the Bilder map again with my FTP program.
After that, everything was normal again.

So: don't use the admin's module management facilities: just delete the map with your FTP program.

Succes.

Can you please explain what you mean by "just delete the map" ? Is this a file or folder somewhere?

Thanks,

Tony

He means delete the module map on the server; in his case the /path/to/cmsms/modules/Bilder folder.
It is actually possible to uninstall the module from the admin (which is distorted because it has no stylesheet, but it works) before you delete the module folder. This is a bit cleaner because it removes the data entered into the database by the module.

I've the same problem with the Admin style after trying to install the Picasa Album module.

The Module Manager just shows "Download and Install" for it with no way of deleting it

If I try listing the modules I get

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{' in /home/efysadmn/public_html/modules/PicasaWebAlbumBrowser/PicasaWebAlbumBrowser.module.php on line 588

If I try to delete for module through FTP I get

DELE PicasaWebAlbumBrowser.module.php
550 Could not delete PicasaWebAlbumBrowser.module.php: Permission denied

I've only installed CMSMS a couple of hours ago so I'm unsure what to do next

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Try "Extensions" -> "Modules" in the site admin (instead of the Module Manager) to uninstall the module.
If that's not working you'll have to delete the module folder (modules/PicasaWebAlbumBrowser) using some kind of admin access (either through a web interface or SSH shell), instead of using FTP.
