Classifieds stylesheets not working?

testpig · November 1st, 2005, 03:11 AM

Hi guys.
OK....as I use a few different skins I want to make the classifieds area a stand alone. I switched off the VB header integration and selected a stylesheet in my classifieds admin panel. I see the style in the admin area change, however inthe actual classifieds I only get the background colour (which changes depending on which style sheet is selected).

I turned on the last 2 two vb integration settings and now have the vb buttons and editor, but still only a plain colour background with no tables etc.

Install is at http://www.hemi6pack.com/classifieds/index.php
This is hanging out of a VB 3.5 install with a vB portal. Was working fine untill I switched on the portal -P-P

The vB integration was working fine, however with the new vB portal install the style is now driven by the portal and I would have to edit the paths on 7 styles to make it work so I'd rather leave the classifieds install as stand alone.

Thanks for the assistance,

Hello in your classifieds admin area turn off use forum style set it to NO

Hi Chuck.
Have done already. What you saw was the forum style buttons. I have the silver stylesheet selected in the admin panel. I get a silver background but no tables etc.

Hello well for one you dont switch on portal in photopost config if thats what you meant above. I can not see your classifieds so you would need to turn it one for me to comment further.

Basically things are like this. If you are using the vb3 headers you must turn forum style to ON if your not using vb headers then you turn forum style to off and use photopost stylesheets

Hi Chuck.
Yup...got that. I turned vb3 headers off as I have a few styles and it will be a lot of work defining all the pathways.

If you follow the link you will see the classifieds with a silver background and no tables. Thats all I get with the photo post stylesheets. If I change the stylesheet it changes the background colour, but no tables etc. Just images and text floating on the coloured background.

This has always been the case, so I'm eager for a few tips on getting the photo post stylesheets working?

Sorry your clasifieds is still closed and you need to open it for me to see it

If you have vb3 integration turned off and forum style set to NO it will use the classifieds stylesheets for sure

Apologies Chuck. I misunderstood you.

Classifieds are now open so you can see whats happening.
Integration is off and forum styles are off (all three settings). The area is trying to use the silver style sheet but only buttons and the background are showing.

Cheers,

You have under forum options in admin

Use forum style SET TO YES

EXAMPLE

<td class="tcat" width="100%" colspan="2">

If you had forum style set to no it would say menbar there not tcat which is a vb class call

AHA.
Thanks Chuck. You are correct (but you knew that anyway).
I misunderstood the setting. Fixed now!
