DEMO: Ugly user interface in Firefox (CSS problem); no WYSIWYG in IE!

Post by pgevaluation »

Hello. I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong group. I see no area to ask about problems with your online demo!

When I try your demo in Firefox (very latest version), the page appears unstyled. I think this is because of the following error which I find in the FF error console...

Error: The stylesheet http://demo.opensourcecms.com/cms/admin/loginstyle.php was not loaded because its MIME type, "text/html", is not "text/css".
Source File: http://demo.opensourcecms.com/cms/admin/login.php
Line: 0

If, on the other hand, I try the demo in IE 6.0, I get no WYSIWYG editor showing up when I try to edit a page.

I have also tried this on a different computer with different versions of FF and IE with similar results.

Both of these problems seem like "deal killers" and discourage me from even trying to install the package!

Can anyone please advise? I apologize if this is due to my stupidity.

That site is maintained by opensourcecms and not us...  so it's not our responsibility.

Also... it allows people to login and fool with things, which could potentially break the layout.

But I think it is refreshed on a regular basis.

And if I remember they're running an old version also.

Well, ok, I appreciate the reply...

But on the other hand, this demo is the only one I see linked from CMSmadesimple.org, so it would seem to me it sort of does become a bit the responsibility of the CMSmadesimple folks to see it accurately represents their product, doesn't it? :)

I have tried this multiple times on multiple days (it's updated every couple hours), so I don't think it's just a matter one one copy being goofed up by visitors changing settings.

I guess I will have to install it and see if it happens on my copy.

Perhaps it would be wise if CMSmadesimple.org added a disclaimer stating the linked demo may not accurately reflect the state of the product?

Thanks

demo version on opensourcecms.org is 1.2.3

I just wanted to note that demo version running on opensourcecms.org appears to be 1.2.3, which appears to be the most recent release.

Regardless, there still seem to be some MAJOR problems with its appearance in Firefox 2.0, which I guess are due to invalid css. Very disappointing!

We have contacted opensourcecms and notified them about this problem.
