How to fix a template bug?

Arjan · October 18th, 2006, 01:11 PM

Hello,

I'm fairly new to Photopost and discovered a small problem in a template used in the index.php

I have selected that I want the sidelar at the right side.
When I go to home everything shows up Allright.
But when I selecte the Main category, then the sidebar is at the bottom of the page.

Can anyone tell me where I can fix this problem?

More than likely this is an issue with your header not being closed correctly with its own html

Link to your site? If you do not use your header footer things display correctly?

The header is from the vBulletin.
I have now disabled the sidebar (will switch it on for now).
You will see I applied the vBAdvanced hack, but that has nothing to do with the problem.
And strang things is that every page shows fine, except the index when I selected a main category.
Left sidebar is fine also, only right sidebar is shows it.

Hmmm, I figured I can use the XHTML validation to look for errors.
Will use that to tweak my site.

If you turn off your vb3 integration and view the main category is the sidebar at the bottom? I dont show it on any site I view but yours hense this has to be an issue on your vb3 side of things most likely the hack you did

It can be the official vB3 integration.
I'm sure it's not the hack. The problem is also there without the hack.

I'm checking things and will let you know.

I have turned off all integrations, so I got the plain page.
On top of that I had the header as used by vB also checked on errors. Except for a few missing slashes to close an image tag, it was ok.
Still if gave the problem. I posted screenshots, w3c validation results and the generated HTML file here: http://www.photopost.com/forum/showt...47#post1176847

I'll dig further, but I'm new to Photopost, and sorting out the problem so that it works in all possible option might be taking long for me. So, I reported it as a bug.

Note that I turned the integration back on and the sidebar off to have the page look fine. And in case you are wondering placing the sidebar to the left also looks good.
