Only admins can upload after stylesheet change?

Pretty much as title stated. After merging an xml forum template, the gallery styling/template got messed up. It still functions, however not everyone can upload images.

vb issue?

without knowing more what you did its hard to say.

How about explaining more what you mean by merging an xml forum template and provide urls to forum gallery etc and a test user login

52111 · February 23rd, 2010, 06:46 PM

ok sorry, it's not just admins, some members can upload, some can't... Can't really find much of a trend to why that could be happening. could it possibly be a certain web browser or something like that?

Anyway, the file that was uploaded was the forum template.xml file... also as you will see in the link the template does not show up on the gallery which it did before we uploaded this...

As for the information you requested...

well you might want to run the gallery rebuild templates function in the install script menu. Also in your custom style any paths to images image directories etc in your style need to be full urls.

Could you tell me or give me a link to tell me how to do that? thanks

You would run the vbgallery install script from the admin control panel much like when you installed the application only there will be a setting to reinstall templates phrases etc. you want to try that one.

basically your trying to figure out how to circumvent the issue caused by your manually doing some template xml file which probally whacked some things out.

52111 · February 24th, 2010, 09:17 AM

could you tell me where in the admin cp? I do not see it.

Chuck S · February 24th, 2010, 09:34 AM

I guess you did not install vbgallery ok lets go through this

When you installed the application you ran vbgallery_install.php

Make sure both the vbgallery install script and xml file exist in your admincp directory via ftp. Go ahead and rerun the vbgallery_install.php file like your doing a new install. You will see other options besides install. One of those options will be to refresh templates phrases etc. You want to do that. I would suspect whatever you did wiped out important changes additions vbgallery made to the vb styles.

thanks for the detailed info. This is what i get when i do it... I didnt have the install.php file in so i put it in the admincp folder and ran it and tried the step you suggested. Thanks.

Have you tried uploading the vbgallery xml making sure its in ascaii format

52111 · February 24th, 2010, 07:41 PM

ok ya it was just because i didnt upload the product file, but i did the re-install templates and it did not fix it.

Luciano · February 24th, 2010, 09:33 PM

well first problem it could be related to a problem that hits gallery once a year...
go to admin panel and add to your footer replacements in gallery settings:

profile.php

OR/AND go to vbulletin settings in ACP and turn automatic daylight saving time correction OFF...

did both, nothing changed, i also installed a new skin, same exact problem, the banner does not show.... If you want to see that username and password is still active. Thanks for your help!

Chuck S · February 27th, 2010, 01:16 PM

two distinct different issues here

1. I was able to upload

Dscn0516 - Glass Gallery Home

Thus you really need to find out what the exact error a user is having uploading so we can respond.

2. images banner etc not showing in your header have you tried making sure the path to such images is a full url? relative urls are not going to work.

Luciano · February 27th, 2010, 01:43 PM

Same here..
NON-Glass Random Images - Glass Gallery Home
the 2 paintings.. uploaded by PPTEST
If you say they cannot upload.. does it meen they do not get to the upload page?

52111 · February 27th, 2010, 01:48 PM

Ya i will def have to get more information about the uploading, because i can't recreate the error myself it has made it tough... but i will get back to you about that.

chuck, where would the path's be?

Luciano · February 27th, 2010, 02:11 PM

ACP => stylemanager
beside the stylename you have a dropdown menu..
select stylevars..
There you have a section imagepaths..
the will all start with blackrazor_fire/....
make them http://www.glassdistrict.com/forums/blackrazor_fire/...

52111 · February 27th, 2010, 02:35 PM

ok, that fixed a bunch of things, all the bottons are now showing, but still no banner.

Chuck S · February 27th, 2010, 03:11 PM

In admin the global stylesheet elements look at your stylesheet all the image paths to things are relative not full urls

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Luciano · February 27th, 2010, 03:16 PM

well the coder of that template didnt use stylevars everywhere...
goto
ACP => stylemanager
beside the stylename select another item in dropdownmenu..
select main css..
and there you are bound to find.. (in backgrounds etc..) more blackrazor_fire/... stuff
prefix it with your forums url like you did before..

there additionnally may be some other paths in the extra css part at the bottom of that page (Additional CSS Definitions)
