PhotoPost Question - Page 2

Thanks for your help!

I've done that, but it hasn't fixed my problem. It's fine on my forums index, but on the gallery index, it's just messed up:

The search class has not been renamed

<div class="http://www.techsupportteam.org/forum/search">

Do what was done before to that class.

Jason2 · June 19th, 2008, 02:50 PM

Oh, yeah LOL -- fixed! Works great!

However, it has caused 61 validation errors -- my style was xhtml valid before I made those changes. All seem to be from the gallery..any ideas?

You only made stylesheet class name changes. This does not cause xhtml errors to my knowledge

Your 62 errors come from your forum coding

Validation Results - W3C Markup Validator

Your errors come from improperly placed div tags and closing elements for a tags none of which involved the discussion in this thread.

Jason2 · June 19th, 2008, 03:05 PM

I don't think so. The style was made xhtml valid...it was perfectly fine before I made those changes. The errors are coming from the gallery.

I've just removed the photofeature gallery block and the errors are gone. So, they come from the add-on you made, and NOT my style. Any way to fix them?

Our Photopost Pro include photos modules do not use div tags etc etc so I dont know what to tell you there. The XHTML errors I pointed out where from the forum page not gallery

Possibly maybe your style uses div tags not table tags. You could be free to modify the file but the easiest way to show its the style in vb causing the issue since our product is coded to a default vbulletin enable your default vb style and then the photo block you should see things pass validation fine. I dont know possible try placing a div tag around the html print out in the html and see if that helps.

Jason2 · June 20th, 2008, 10:17 AM

It's not my style!!!

The style passes xhtml validation, check for yourself now. When I add the gallery block, I get validation errors.

Chuck S · June 20th, 2008, 10:47 AM

Right I know what your trying to say but look at the errors. Its all div tags etc etc. We dont use any of that stuff in our block and our block is 100% compliant

If this was an issue with our block then this should be evident on every site.

Here is my vbulletin site with stock photopost applications. This is my forum here I have photo review and classifieds blocks on that page

[Invalid] Markup Validation of http://www.reeftalk.com/forums/ - W3C Markup Validator

There is 1 error on the whole page wherever vb prints that html statement it needs to be updated other than that no errors.

Jason2 · June 21st, 2008, 12:11 PM

Ok, then explain that when I add the gallery block, errors appear. Currently, the style passes xhtml validation...so of course it is the gallery block.

Chuck S · June 23rd, 2008, 07:43 AM

More than likely in my initial post when you brought up this issue it has to do with the fact your style uses div tags not html tags to generate the page. As shown in my post my style has no issues with the block nor does other pages I see with the block from customers. The only differences I see with your site is that style you use is pure div tags.

Jason2 · June 23rd, 2008, 05:16 PM

I can hardly see my style passing validation, then when the block is added it doesn't pass validation...

We are talking about the same block, right?

Finally, if I got into the gallerys index, I cannot see the menu_open.gif image -- any ideas how to get it show?

Jason

What I am saying is I can post many sites here running the photo block and they pass validation fine as I have shown on my site which uses all default vb and photopost coding and no hacks. I have a custom style and things are fine.

You run into an issue with your style and the errors coming up all have to do with your style not our block which tells me most likely there is an inconsistency where your style uses div tags and it does not like where our table tags are going. You can alter our block and use div tags not table elements and see if that helps but the issue is not one from our coding. It validates fine with a stock vb without issue.

As far as images not being found from vb make sure to edit your style and in the 3rd box down where it has the relative image paths to image directories make them all full urls. We do not have a menu_open gif so I assume this is a vb relative image link so it can not be found.

Jason2 · June 28th, 2008, 02:40 PM

I'm pretty sure it caused validation errors when I was using the default style.

Anyway, I will have to take a look and see what I can do. I really don't think it has anything to do with my style, is has been coded to pass xhtml validation -- and it does!!

Chuck S · June 28th, 2008, 03:23 PM

Well my post clearly shows a vb forum with our photo review and classifieds blocks all enabled with no errors. Only error on my site is from vb not doing a proper html tag

Only difference is your using a style that is using div tags not html tags so there might be a difference there which is why I suggested you try altering our block to use div tags not html tags and see if that makes a difference.

Jason2 · June 29th, 2008, 11:15 AM

Ok, I will have to take a look.

I have another question. As I have a sidebar, it shows on the gallery too. I'd prefer it not show on the gallery, any ideas how I could achieve this?

Chuck S · June 29th, 2008, 11:48 AM

Well I guess that depends on how you achieve that sidebar. Is it hard coded into the forum footer as we pull that footer

If you want to make a separate vb header footer to use you can follow these instructions

Add my own area to the top of every page?
