CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi
I am creating a new website for at sports club. Right now I’m experimenting with cmsmadesimple and getting the templates up and running.
I run my test/sample site on a free webhost - byethost.com

I have experienced some problems with the site, then I surf with Internet explorer. Half the time the site looks very ugly. It is like it does not read the CSS information. Or do it take the print stylesheet?
I have currently not set any pages to use the print stylesheet, so I don’t understand.
The problem goes away after a few hits with F5. But comes again when you change pages.

I have no problems with firefox/opera.

using CMS Made Simple version 1.3.1
•  Apache version 2.2.8 (Unix)
•  PHP version 5.2.6
•  MySQL version 5.0.51

Looks like this.

It may be that the host isn't giving you enuf memory, if you upgrade to 1.4.1 you will get a page in admin to check server config and it will have checks for whether you have what you need or use the Support Tool linked in bottom...

Hi,

You might want to read this thread:  http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 856.0.html

I ran into problem with IE and pages with multiple (4+) css stylesheets. IE would intermittently ignore one or more of the stylesheets. :(   Not sure if it's a timing issue or what.  Anyway, there is a workaround: put all of your css into a single file (e.g. foo.css) and to that stylesheet instead of using the {stylesheet} tag.  Crude, but effective. 

Hope this helps,
Fred

You can make one CSS/stylesheet in CMSMS and still use the {stylesheet} tag, just copy all of them to one and attach it to the template...

Thanks for the clarification. I missed that point in your reply to the other thread.

Oh, I thought of a way to automate the "single stylesheet" workaround from inside the {stylesheet} tag itself:

Comments are welcome.

Hi thanks for the suggestion. I will try this then I get back home from work.

Ok. I have done a bit of testing.

Adding it all to one style sheet and association only that with the template did not do the trick.
Placing it all in a real file did however.
