ARIA + Photopost and Breadcrumbs issue

jgommel · December 18th, 2006, 03:11 PM

Okay, I've pretty much read every thread regarding the Aria template and Photopost. I was able to fix the javascript + buttons issue, but I still can't fix the breadcrumbs issue - see screenshot.

For some reason the breadcrumbs are not displaying at all for Photopost, Reviewpost or Classifieds. I know I'm not the only one who's have this problem -- this problem seemed to go hand in hand with the Javascript button issue, but this one never seemed to be resolved?

Has anyone figured this out? I'd hate to have spent the money on a skin/template only to have it not work with 3rd party integrated applications. I own all 3 applications from PhotoPost, and would really like to continue using them integrated into my site.

Thanks in advance!

Vbulletin breadcrumbs do not work within Photopost we have our own breadcrumb. Your issue is the aria style has a blank navbar template and in a normal vbulletin we pull the navbar. You can try removing $navbar from the header-inc.php file in Photopost if thats the only style your using

I'm not following you - this looks like the index page - there are no breadcrumbs there.

You are correct Michael, this is the index page. On my other site; also with Photopost, using another template/skin, there's a Breadcrumb on the index (probably set somewhere/how in the skin) - see attachment.

UPDATE:
I just logged out of the site with the problem Skin, and it appears that this is where the login section is along with some site data etc... see screenshot #2

Thats a dead breadcrumb and not even the aria style the black one I beleive. Now the second one looks like aria and you might want to ask them some questions about how that style operates cause I dont use it I can not give you suggestions other than to ensure in the style admin make sure you use full url not relative path to all the image directories

That's right chuck, the black one is called iSkin_Black - I just attached that one so that you could see that this skin does display breadcrumbs along with the Photopost index. The other skin is ARIA... I've been asking around on the developers website, but he/she is not very receptive and not much help. I've witnessed this skin working with both Classifieds and PhotoPost, so I know it works -- I just need to find one of those people that got it to work and see if they have the solution.

I would just check to ensure all relative image paths are full url and if you have any supported plugins that are enabled to make aria work that you might want to switch them to be global start

I used the Aria skin at one time; I dont think I have the files anymore, though, because I was annoyed with all the style coding issues and the unwillingness of the developer to fix them.

I do recall having to modify the header-inc.php file to accommodate the skin; because it is doing something non-standard with that part of the header.

You hit the nail right on the head Michael. I gave up on the developer because I got tired of one word responses to my questions. Absolutely no support. I shouldn't have to make this many changes to HIS code in order to make it integrate with the product he developed it for. I've all but given up on this skin/template.
