Block and Theme problems after upgrade

Worker Joined: May 26, 2006 Posts: 153

I have just upgraded one of my websites www.brzjc.co.uk from RN2.40.01 to RN2.50.00
I now have the following problems:

The Old Articles block (Right position) is now messing up the formatting, all is ok if I deactivate the block.

The Advertising block (Center down position) all banners now show on left hand side of block and not in center.

And the Theme manager won't show a preview of the site.

Any pointers would be welcome.

I like your site. It looks well organized.

Check out your Shout Box. It has caused an error on your page.

The Old Articles block: Without seeing what is happening it's hard to say, but this link may help.

the styling for side/center block lists is a little complex atm, due to still supporting ie7

The Advertising block: You'll need to edit the advertising block to center the ad. Something like so should work:
$content .= '<div class="centered">'.ads(1).'</div>';
If that doesn't work try changing the class to "centered text-center"

As for the theme preview, not sure.... does it attempt to load within a colorbox, or what exactly happens?

start_ticking();

This was a modification to allow other blocks to work correctly, not sure if it is still needed in RN2.50.00 I have noticed that Shoutbox is no longer part of the RN2.50.00 download but can't find any reason why, is it still supported or has it been replaced by a core RavenNuke function?

Having a lot of problems tracking this down (see last comment below) as it seems to be ok when I view it via www.zenjudo.co.uk/brzjcphp/ but not as www.brzjc.co.uk also the icons in the site info block don't show up.

Have tried above, but it doesn't seem to work (see below) just messed up the site even in Chrome (Use Firefox normally), I assume it is being overridden later.

Looks like it works ok in Chrome but no popup in Firefox - probably getting blocked in the settings. Odd thing is that when I preview RavenIce in Chrome as Admin the site looks correct, including the Old Articles block formatting and centering of banner in the advertising block, but not when I see the site after logging out.

j4rdin, i have take look on your page and on both links are the advertising blocks centered. The icons in the site info blocks are displayed, too. I can't see a problem. Do you have try it, to clear your browser cache? Its possible you have an old version of the ravennuke.css in your cache.

Thanks neralex that was the root cause of all the problems, have now been through all the url's for the main website home page (after clearing the cache each time) on Chrome (19.0.1084.52m), IE9 and Firefox 12, all problems resolved. Very Happy
