What is the name of your theme? Make sure its all lowercase and no underscores. Like 'mytheme' then SSViewer::set_theme('mytheme'); and make sure you ?flush=1.

I'm having a similar problem. I've launched a production SS site before so I have an intermediate to advanced knowledge of what I'm doing. When I try to switch to a theme and flush the cache, using either 1 or all, I get this error:

[Warning] None of these templates can be found: Page.ss, ContentController.ss
GET /?flush=1

The Page.ss does exist in the template directory. I'm mystified... I really liked SS in the beginning but all these new problems are driving me towards Ruby on Rails instead.

This is of interest too, it would be cool to make it dead simple. Eventually allowing for templates to be built and available for download.

Re: Extra space after include

Maybe it's the whitespace that is rendered as a "blank" line. I have encountered similar issues with IE. Try to set CSS line-height and font-size to zero on the element that wraps the includes. Then of course set line-height and font-size of the inner elements to normal values again.

Extra space after include

DanStephenson — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 10:31:56 +1300

I am having a very weird issue with a new site I am working on.

When I build the layout, everything works fine. But then if I go and cut my layout into multiple include files (Header, Footer and Sidebar), when I render the new Page.ss template, I am either getting extra space above or below my includes (above in IE, below in a WebKit browser).

In the newest version of SS, it seems to insert comments automatically into my HTML. Could that be affecting something?

I've successfully built many SS templates before, and have never seen this kind of error. Anyone else solved this?

Re: Pixelgreen Search

silverluke — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 11:56:02 +1300

You're right to follow that tutorial, and that should tell you how to get the search going.
However, Pixelgreen has a (wrongly) hard-coded search form.

Look for the file:

themes/pixelgreen/templates/Includes/SideBar.ss

Look for the code like that below:

<div class="sidebox">
<h1>Search Box</h1>
<form>
....
</form>
</div>

Change this, by removing the form, so it looks like:

<div class="sidebox">
<h1>Search Box</h1>
$SearchForm
</div>

You may need to play around with the styles or the display of the form, but this should get things going for you.

Cheers,
- Luke

Remove hover graphic in Blackcandy sidebar

jseth — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:24:42 +1300

In the sidebar menu in the Blackcandy theme, when you have a sub menu (Menu 2), a darker gray area appears and it hangs out to the right over the sidebar. All I want it to do is change to the pointer when the cursor is hovered over it, I don't want arrows and different colors and all that. I was able to remove the graphics from the level 1 menu, but I can't seem to get the 2nd level sidebar menu to lose the hover graphics. I'm working in layout.css; any suggestions? Thanks.

Another theme installation problem

neuron — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:36:19 +1300

Hi there!

Sorry for starting another "theme install problem" thread but my problem doesn't seem to be covered by the existing threads. I am fairly new to Silverstripe and started to run it with MAMP on my Mac. Everything went fine and I was also able to download new themes, put them into the themes folder, change /mysite/_config.php and voila the new theme was shown.

Now I did install Silverstripe on a websever. The installation process went fine and I can use both the tutorial theme and also the blackcandy theme by changing _config.php respectively. If I download another theme though, upload it to the themes folder and change _config.php I will just get a blank site this happens no matter theme I choose apart from 'tutorial' and 'blackcandy'. It even happens if I copy all 'blackcandy' subfolders and files into a new folder calles mytheme in the themes folder and change _config.php respectively. So it is not a problem of the subfolder structure or the .ss files but rather a problem of the server not fiinding the themes in general. This there anything else I need to refresh or change apart from -config.php

Sorry for such a dump question but I am still a newbie in this regard.
Cheers,
Torsten

Just some more information:
I tried to use theme 'BrightSide'

In the themes folder I have the following subfolders as downloaded from the web:

BrightSide1
BrightSide1_blog
BrightSide1_ecommerce
BrightSide1_forum

So I changed /mysite/_config.php to 'BrightSide1' and while Safari just shows a blank site, Firefox returns the following which doesn't mean much to me but hopefully to someone of you:

Create HomePage.php (path /mysite/code/):
<?php
/**
* Defines the HomePage page type
*/

class HomePage extends Page {
static $db = array(

);

}

class HomePage_Controller extends Page_Controller {

}
?>

step2 : run http://localhost:82/silverstripe/dev/build?flush=1

step 3 : Home Page assigned it to page type HomePage created (step2)

<div id="Banner">
<img src="themes/tutorial/images/welcome.png" alt="Homepage image" />
</div>
<div id="Content" class="typography">

Ok, got it.

Thanks Willr, I guess I should wait till it is all stable including the couple of modules I'm using (blog, image-gallery).

Thanks for pointing me to the doc as well - surely this is useful.

Re: Problem with installing a new theme

As with any upgrade it depends on how complex your application is that you have built on top of silverstripe. If its a simple site then it will be fairly easy. I just upgraded a site this morning and just needed to rebuild the database and change a couple methods.

We have been trying to pad out the notes on http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=upgrading:2.4.0 to make it easy.

If you're running modules then it is likely you will have to upgrade those to the daily builds.

I'm using 2.3.6, so I guess I'll just wait for a stable release of 2.4.

By the way - will the upgrade to 2.4 be very annoying from 2.3.6 or 2.3.1 (got another site on 2.3.1)?

Thanks,
Stas

Well I am on the dev team . This has been fixed as part of 2.4 AFAIK. Sean did some work on this 11 months ago.

Are you using 2.3 or 2.4?

Willr,

Just downloaded and installed 2.3.6. The exactly same problem occured after adding a new theme (wine) to the themes dir and changing the _config.php file.

Your fix solved the problem however. Shouldn't this be reported to the Dev Team?

Thanks,
Stas

Hi!

Well, are you sure welcome.png is there? The URL is correct. I guess you flushed the cache…

I suggest you to check the page source and verify that the div banner is there, so to confirm that the problem is the image not being loaded.

Also, don’t put HomePage.ss in \templates.

Hope it helps,

Re: Blackcandy theme question

jseth — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 09:00:02 +1300

Solved one question - in the layout.css, I increased the % of the font size, which gave me a larger font for, well, everything, but did make the rss feed links readable, then I just needed to adjust the font sizes throughout the rest of the code to return them to their relative desired sizes.

I'm still looking for where to change the link color, if anyone has any suggestions!

Blackcandy theme question

jseth — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 07:54:40 +1300

I think this will probably be an easy question for someone with more experience than I. I'm using the Blackcandy theme and have customized it to suit our organization, but there are two things I need to change that I just cannot find!

1. I'm using Widget Manager , and the rss widget shows up nicely in the left sidebar, however the font is quite tiny and the links are blue. I'd like to enlarge the font a bit, and change the font link color. I'm able to change the link color and size for my content within the theme, but not in the widget. It seems the Widget Manager did not come with any files to modify - am I supposed to create these myself? Is the answer elsewhere?

2. I've created a Logout link which I've placed in the header area, and it's fine except that it is surrounded with a purple border (I'm assuming because it is a link). I'd really like to either remove the border all together, or at least change the color. I've gone through all the css files with a fine tooth comb (and my eyes too) but can't seem to find the magic code to change this.

Can anyone assist me? Thank you!

Overriding Theme Files in Modules

elgordo — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:58:09 +1300

I came upon this problem whilst trying to deal with a validation error in the Newsletter module - the file SubscribeSubmission contains a '<br >' (note the extra space) that is causing XML validation issues with the theme layouts I am using.

If there a way a theme can cleanly override a module, or do I have to create another module that decorates the appropriate method and change the path of the file being used as a template?

Apologies if I have missed something obvious

Thanks

Gordon
