Title: Theme Update troubles
Post by: FernFerret on April 14, 2005, 02:12:36 am

I seem to have the same troubles as this user:

could someone help me out, none of the themes change, the tables are not there either. i tried reuploading the theme files, but it still isn't showing up, i even deleted my cookies. nothing. could someone tell me how to get it to show up.

When I checked for the "template.html" it is not in my coppermine root, only in the theme folder.  Any thoughts on this?

A link to your site would be useful.

What changes are you expecting to see and what file did you modify ?

I modified the style.css under photos/themes/homestead/.  I changed the footer size to 12 and made it red.  nothing.

Ah then there's the problem. You need to change the path to the css file in your template.html. Since it is a copy of the classic theme's template.html it still points to classic's style.css

Code: [Select]

<link rel="stylesheet" href="themes/classic/style.css" />

WOW thank you so much again!  I have used frontpage editing the whole website, but not this code.  anyways somehow i got myself into the _vti_cnf folder and was editing THAT template.html and it looked NOTHING like an html file.  THANKS AGAIN!

If you want to use FP, you should back up your files before editing. FP has a nasty habit of injecting its own code, which can wreak havoc to functioning code.

Ya i said I use it for the website, not for editing this stuff.  I have other people that don't know how to code that also need access to the site.  I have already modded dreamweaver so that it does not mod the php.
