Template porting issue

timster -- le 7 mar. 2005
Yacs fan!

adding advanced options

As requested I have started a new thread to discuss my attempts to bring in a new template for using with YACS on my website.

If you visit my website at the momment you'll note that its using a modified listapart template (since it functions well) but I've attached a copy of the design that I'm still tweaking and hoping to use soon, since I've just started adding in content to my site (but won't start marketing it yet).

Known problems so far for me are the fact that I haven't been able to get the advanced option link to work when submitting content of any type and while all the other pages render properly, when clicking the comments link the right side bar/menu/etc shows up below the comments area instead of remaining on the right.

Attached is the template.php file that I'm working on and if anyone can spot the errors or missing info I would greatly appreciate it.

Bernard Paques	le 9 mar. 2005 Timster: Maybe you have suffered from some network breakdown. Can you please give it another try? timster - le 9 mar. 2005 Bernard: I just tried it from my home computer a few times and it still doesn't seem to be working? Do you want me to temporarily make you an associate of the site so you can give it a whirl? Bernard - le 9 mar. 2005 Timster: This is strange, since I have successfully updated a pair of sites today without any issue. Anyway the alternate solution is to download the latest zip file, to explode it at your hard drive, and to upload files to your server. Then go to the Control Panel and launch the setup script from the menu below page title. timster - le 10 mar. 2005 Bernard: I'll give it a shot tonight from my home computer. Just a thought, I'm in Taiwan, you don't have any particular ISPs or anything blocked do you? Tim Bernard - le 11 mar. 2005 Timster: I am pretty sure that the French ISP I am using does his best to connect to the whole Earth, including Taiwan... 8) timster - le 11 mar. 2005 Bernard: I FTPd the new files up to my site and it worked fine... problem SOLVED Timster P.S. however it changed my hack of how many blog entries on my front page back to the default 5... and I can't remember which file I need to look in to change that figure? I've checked, index.php, skins/tc2/template.php and skin.php, but I can't find it. P.P.S... I found it... for anyone interested check skins/layout_home_articles_as_daily.php Bernard - le 13 mar. 2005 Timster: Please consider the tonight release. The number of articles to display is now a parameter of the configuration panel for skins. If you leave the parameter empty, default values will be used by YACS, depending on selected layout, as it used to be in the past. But you are now free to override this value through web forms, without changing PHP scripts 8) Your feed-back is welcome.
Bernard Paques	le 7 mar. 2005 Ok, I will check your template and reply tonight (CET) 8) Bernard - le 8 mar. 2005 " Ok, I will check your template and reply tonight (CET) 8) " skins/test.php?skin=tc2 Is this what you were expecting? If yes, then download the updated zip file, and explode files under the skins directory. Then configure your server to use the skin tc2. Thank you for your feed-back, if any. timster - le 8 mar. 2005 Bernard: As always your magic touch is appreciated. The advanced options issue has been fixed. However when clicking on the link to read the comments such as this link, still returns the rigth menu bar below the main conent area. See example here: http://www.techcolosseum.com/a...d=32&comments=1 Bernard - le 8 mar. 2005 Timster: Please consider the updated template attached above. Also, update your server against this one to fix the layout bug. timster - le 9 mar. 2005 Bernard: In attempting to automatically update my site I received this error (see image attached). My configuration is set to www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com, any thoughts? So as an alternative I downloaded the entire zip file. Do I just upload it and over write the existing files? If so, I noticed in the New Yac-1/Skins/tc2 only has a few files and no CSS files, icons or image s folders.. is that the way is supposed to be? Sorry for being so thick :P PierreRobert - le 10 mar. 2005 Bernard : Après avoir mis en marche «installation» dans le panneau de configuration, la mise à jour s'est déroulée sans accroc. Toutefois, l'enregistrement des utilisateurs se termine toujours par une page non trouvée. C'est pourquoi les utilisateurs recommencent le processus et se voient ainsi attribués plusieurs comptes qu'ils ne peuvent plus supprimer par la suite. C'est à ce moment qu'ils font appel à mes services pour supprimer les enregistrements inutiles.
Bernard Paques	le 7 mar. 2005 Timster: Please zip your template files and upload the archive files. For security reasons it is forbidden to upload PHP scripts, this would be used by hackers...
timster	le 7 mar. 2005 Bernard, Unfortunately I get a messaage telling me that I do not have permission to submit this kind of file. Timster www.techcoloseum.com
