Upgraded to IPB2, problems

Smoothie · October 8th, 2004, 03:23 AM

Ok, I'm losing it. We did a forum upgrade to IPB2. I am having a problem trying to get the default style from the forums to show on the gallery.

I have run the Rebuild Skin Set Cache tool. I have css_2.css in the style_images directory. That's about as far as I got. Not looking good so far.

I'm a bit confused as to what to put in the header/footer.htm files. This is using the default skin that comes with IPB2.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

You want to post a link for us to see?

Keep in mind you may need to update the relative image url paths to full images urls in that css_2.css file

As far as a header footer you link them as always. Make ones up and link them in the Photopost options.

Sorry 'bout that. Linkage: http://www.macfora.com/gallery

I already have the header/footer.htm linked, but I am at a loss what code to insert. Sans images, PP seems not to be following the css.

Looks to me like its following the css I get the default style when logged out.

I would need a login to see how it looks when loggedin

The only thing I see if your tableborders are white on a white background

I never looked at it logged out, but I did and it looks much different than when logged in.

Yep your users stylesheets are set to 0

The program is looking for this

http://macfora.com/forums/style_images/css_0.css

Edit your ib2.php file and change line 372

if ( $fstyle == "" ) {

to

if ( $fstyle == "" || $fstyle == 0 ) {

Ok, did that. Seems to work, things look better but not quite right yet. What else do I need to do? But is there something wrong on my end that caused this? I would have never known to edit ipb2.php

Chuck S · October 8th, 2004, 04:48 PM

Nah I wouldn't go that far.

When I wrote that module I dealt with the normal program defaults of installing a fresh ib2 install. The default stores a user's style when they register to the default 1

Could be your upgrade from or old ib never did that and your users where set to 0.

I just added a switch if its set to 0 then use forum default. Not a big deal and I will get our code updated

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the help. Now, if I could ask one more thing. I'm still kinda new to this IPB2 thing and my gallery still seems a bit off. Not sure what else I need to do.

I have set the 'Cache CSS to text files? to yes' Do I need to edit something else? I seem to missing borders amoung other things.

Smoothie · October 8th, 2004, 07:01 PM

Boy, something seems to be way off. If I use any of the featured templates, like thumbstacks, its all out of wack.

Smoothie · October 8th, 2004, 07:11 PM

I think we need to check the css classes for the new version, looks like some stuff has changed. There is no tableborder class, row4, titlemedium, row3, forminput. There may be others, but I compared the classes listed in IPB2.php and the css_2.css in the style_images folder.

Chuck S · October 9th, 2004, 08:50 AM

Well I will recheck ib2 but the last time I checked those styles existed just fine. I wonder if this is some new style or custom one?

You can try this out in the bottom of your ib2.php file and see if things look different

if ( $Globals['forumstyle'] == "yes" ) {
$Style['onbody'] = "onbody";
$Style['tableborders'] = "tablepad";
$Style['tablesurround'] = "";
$Style['tddetails'] = "row1";
$Style['tdbackground'] = "darkrow3";
$Style['tdnothumbs'] = "maintitle";
$Style['menubar'] = "maintitle";
$Style['menubarnb'] = "";
$Style['catcolumn'] = "row1";
$Style['photocol'] = "row2";
$Style['commentscol'] = "row2";
$Style['lastphocol'] = "row2";
$Style['lastcommcol'] = "row1";
$Style['small'] = "desc";
$Style['medium'] = "normalname";
$Style['large'] = "font-size: 14pt;";
$Style['welcome'] = "desc";
$Style['lighttable'] = "row1";
$Style['alternatetable'] = "row2";
$Style['formboxes'] = "input";
$Style['blockquote'] = "postcolor";
}

If you have a pre-final version, yes, IPS said that the css classes would change. I am using the default skin/css that comes with an out-of-the-box version of IPB2. I am attaching the css file.

Thanks, but nope. Looks the same as before;

Hi,

Will there be an update forthcoming to fix this?

Chuck S · October 10th, 2004, 03:47 PM

Try this but keep in mind your tableborder is WHITE in that style. You are missing the tablesurround.

if ( $Globals['forumstyle'] == "yes" ) {
$Style['onbody'] = "onbody";
$Style['tableborders'] = "tablepad";
$Style['tablesurround'] = "borderwrap";
$Style['tddetails'] = "row1";
$Style['tdbackground'] = "darkrow3";
$Style['tdnothumbs'] = "maintitle";
$Style['menubar'] = "maintitle";
$Style['menubarnb'] = "";
$Style['catcolumn'] = "row1";
$Style['photocol'] = "row2";
$Style['commentscol'] = "row2";
$Style['lastphocol'] = "row2";
$Style['lastcommcol'] = "row1";
$Style['small'] = "desc";
$Style['medium'] = "normalname";
$Style['large'] = "font-size: 14pt;";
$Style['welcome'] = "desc";
$Style['lighttable'] = "row1";
$Style['alternatetable'] = "row2";
$Style['formboxes'] = "input";
$Style['blockquote'] = "postcolor";
}

Smoothie · October 10th, 2004, 05:19 PM

Getting there, I added what you posted. Something is not quite right still, the photo thumbs are wacked, and all the images are left aligned.

Chuck S · October 10th, 2004, 05:44 PM

well I dont see images left aligned but try this. Problem I see now are all those margina around the tables.

if ( $Globals['forumstyle'] == "yes" ) {
$Style['onbody'] = "onbody";
$Style['tableborders'] = "bg1";
$Style['tablesurround'] = "borderwrap";
$Style['tddetails'] = "row1";
$Style['tdbackground'] = "darkrow3";
$Style['tdnothumbs'] = "maintitle";
$Style['menubar'] = "maintitle";
$Style['menubarnb'] = "";
$Style['catcolumn'] = "row1";
$Style['photocol'] = "row2";
$Style['commentscol'] = "row2";
$Style['lastphocol'] = "row2";
$Style['lastcommcol'] = "row1";
$Style['small'] = "desc";
$Style['medium'] = "normalname";
$Style['large'] = "font-size: 14pt;";
$Style['welcome'] = "desc";
$Style['lighttable'] = "row1";
$Style['alternatetable'] = "row2";
$Style['formboxes'] = "input";
$Style['blockquote'] = "postcolor";
}

The problem with there style is all the darn paddings and margins etc which makes it hard to match anything

By the way ib2 has been final for a few months. They just recently had to change these classes as we have had users switch to ib2 months ago with no issues.

I have no way to developmentally test things since I dont own InvisionBoard so we will just have to plug away here until we get something that is the best match.

They posted over at IPB that when final 2.0 was released that the css would change. I'm not sure which build you have, but I use version I use, 2.0.1.
I made the changes you requested. It still looks bad. I appreciate your help.
