Style not kept when boards are closed

[Ogden2k]

When I close the boards, the style is not kept on the portal.

I have my style saved as a CSS file.

Here's my layout:
public_html/portalindex.php
public_html/forums/index.php

When the boards are open, the style obviously works.

Ive known this for a while, its a problem when you have CSS as a file. It will require an edit to a template. let me see if i can dig it up

[MegaHertz]

Same problem here. Guess I'll revert back to not storing CSS as files until it is sorted out. :)

[Zachery]

IMO dont, how often do you close the boards?

[MegaHertz]

I didn't turn that off yet so I'll leave be for now and hope it is fixed in a future release. :)

Hadn't noticed this before. I'll move this to the bugs forum though to make sure it's looked into to see what can be done.

Once in awhile I shut the boards down for maintenance and it looks unprofessional to have the CSS broke when it's done. :|

[Zachery]

Just switch it off then :p

I know this is not vB forum but whats the advantage of having CSS as a file? I saw it first when I installed vB but didn't bother to change the default (its off) :)

Your users can cache the large ammount of CSS that vBulletin uses on every page in a single file. It should help reduce your bandwith and abit of server load :)

Thanks for looking into this Brian.

I also just realized that if you have disabled any pages for certain user groups the CSS will be broken if they attempt to access those pages.

In your forum/includes/functions.php file look for:


$title = $vboptions['bbtitle'];
$pagetitle = &$title;
$errormessage = $error;


Right above that, add:



$headinclude = str_replace('"clientscript', '"' . $vboptions['bburl'] . '/clientscript', $headinclude);


Let me know how that works out. :)

[MegaHertz]

No go on my forum.

[Brian]

Odd, it worked just fine on my localhost... If you'd like to submit a support ticket I'll be glad to take a look and see what the problem is.

[MegaHertz]

Support request submitted. :)

[Ogden2k]

It worked for me Brian, thank you!

Let me know how that works out. :) That fixed it for me. I had just added:

<base href="my_forum_url">

to the STANDARD_ERROR template as a work around.
