Some of the CSS still doesn't validate, mostly opacity and border radius stuff, so no worries (and nothing to do with plugin code not being kosher). Thanks again Devin for reminding me to be thorough. I'm still confused as to how folk were having trouble when using the same OS/browser as me though... </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/firefox-rendering-issues#post-12822 Sat, 05 Jun 2010 00:52:20 +0000 jaiji 12822@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Thanks for the input Devin. I confess I had overlooked validation - my bad, I usually do validate, this was a rush due to deadlines, and I assumed that plugin code would be kosher. There are a bunch of errors, largely it seems from the CSS associated with the iCal Events List plugin and NextGEN Gallery stylesheets, plus some XML errors from me (I'm still based on HTML 4 by default, I keep forgetting to close). As far as browser versions, although I asked for details from the folk that were having problems, all I got back was 'Firefox on XP'. Still strange though, it's fine here on multiple browsers, and I develop on Firefox. I've explained caching, so it's not that. More work needed, back later... (horrible feeling this will be something really stupid ;) </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/firefox-rendering-issues#post-12819 Fri, 04 Jun 2010 22:55:13 +0000 Devin 12819@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>They are running Firefox 3.0 or higher?</p> <p>Have you validated your css and html?

I've had a scout through the topics and can't seem to find anything to help with an issue I'm having:</p> <p>I've been developing Thematic child themes (thanks for this Ian, really an amazing job) for clients since the middle of last year. I have a reasonable (though self-taught) grasp of CSS but know next to nothing about php. I've just launched this site for a client:</p> <p><a href="http://www.fiveringcircus.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.fiveringcircus.net</a></p> <p>and tested it in Firefox (3.5.4), Safari, Chrome and IE back to 5, on XP SP3. All fine (barring the usual IE crud in early versions, although it does render better than the MSN site). The client uses Safari on Mac OSX, no problems there either. </p> <p>Some of their visitors however are having horrendous rendering problems, seemingly all in Firefox on XP. Some were positioning issues which I think I've since fixed (double-margins on floats/display inline etc.) but one has completely random styles i.e. no images or backgrounds, calendar text being black on dark grey (instead of white on dark grey), wrong sidebars showing up on certain pages... The other is seeing the original Thematic layout with none of the child theme at all. As they're using the same browser and OS as me I can't for the life of me work out what's wrong, other than their own system/browser settings. It's not even that they have styles turned off as one at least is getting the base level Thematic styles, just no child theme. Am I missing something really basic? Surely if their browser settings were messed up then every site would look bad?</p> <p>Apologies if the answer is on here somewhere, I have tried to find it. Any help much appreciated. Screengrabs of rendering issues are available if nec.</p> <p>Many thanks</p> <p>Jaiji </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/nav-below-displayed-when-not-needed#post-12729 Tue, 01 Jun 2010 14:39:08 +0000 ahoereth 12729@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>Hey there,<br /> I want to hide the #nav-above on pages which do not need the navigations.

And I quote Chris:</p> <blockquote><p> ----------------------------------------------------------<br /> ...try this code in your child theme's functions.php:</p> <p>function childtheme_content($content) {<br /> if (is_category()) {<br /> $content= 'full';}<br /> return $content;<br /> }</p> <p>add_filter('thematic_content', 'childtheme_content');</p> <p>Chris "<br /> ---------------------------------------------------------- </p></blockquote> <p>What it does:<br /> When users click on the blog categories (which I use for navigation), the result shows full posts, images and all, instead of post excerpts (default). This is particularly useful for someone who uses this theme as a portfolio (nothing like having users follow Categories, only to find a list of uninformative links without images).</p> <p>I imagine a variation for blogs with lots of content would be excerpts with at least an image, but this is pretty cool.

It uses a bit of php from here:<br /> <a href="http://www.wp-fun.co.uk/2009/01/10/easy-peasy-images-suggestion-roundup/" rel="nofollow">http://www.wp-fun.co.uk/2009/01/10/easy-peasy-images-suggestion-roundup/</a></p> <p>It got me thinking about the way they are using images for categories and thought of a possible idea. I don't know if it is possible and thought I would ask here. The idea is that every category is represented by an image as above with each image being displayed in a page called 'Category'. So you would have a page of boxes all associated with an image. If you click on an image and there are sub cats you are then take to the sub cats. If it takes you to posts then the posts are displayed as a box as well. Click on the box and the post is then opened. This is essentially what I am doing here. I'm doing it by hard coding it into the page.</p> <p><a href="http://dejavulostwithiel.co.uk/furniture/" rel="nofollow">http://dejavulostwithiel.co.uk/furniture/</a></p> <p>Is it possible please?</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Rich </p> http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/different-pagepost-themes#post-839 Fri, 17 Oct 2008 12:21:44 +0000 Erin 839@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>You can do this with CSS alone.
