styles missing from control panel

2010-01-08T09:45:15Z

I’ve just moved my site to another server, and I swear I’ve done this so many times without issues, but the CP is now always unstyled. The site itself runs fine. I made all necessary changes via Deeploy Helper. Themes folder was uploaded in its entirety, all permissions set as in the user guide.

When I’m in the CP Home and view source I notice that the are empty.

Have I missed something, wrong setting in Deeploy Helper somewhere?

Simple Commerce Subscription cancellation issue

2012-11-25T11:12:22Z

Hello,

I;ve got a subscription setup for members to sign up to paid listing.

Basically this is how it;s working:

1. Member registers and is put in the “Pending group” - until they activate then they are asigned to “On Hold” group.*

2. Activation is confimed via their email link and they purchase their desired membership package, Gold or Silver.

3. They are taken to paypal, pay and when they click the return to site their member group is upped from On Hold to the package they purchased - this works fine but I don’t think it’s sending the IPN with Auto Return on in paypal, what URL do I need to auto return to? Should it be the ACT page?

Anyhow, the issues I’ve spotted are:

* if they don;t activate their account and make the purchase they are left in On Hold.

* If auto return is on I don;t think the IPN is triggered, it needs to be really as it seems that if they were to just close paypal down and go back to the site the IPN would not have been sent (they never clicked the return button in paypal)

* If I cancel a test (live using 0.1cent transactions for daily subscription tests) subscription via PayPal it does not seem to send the IPN to EE so the members subscription is cancelled but they are not shifted back into the On Hold group.

There is very little meat in the docs for this stuff so I’d really appreciated some pointers here as I’m keen to finish the testing and setup of this on a current project launching very shortly.

Once I have this working I hope to write a bit of a tutorial on how we’ve set this up for the site in question, something that might be very useful to fellow EE users and developers as I can’t find anything like that at current.

exp:channel:entries not working

2012-11-23T13:49:20Z

Hello,

I’m fairly new to EE but I’ve already set up two channels, one of which I’ve embedded on my index and have working fine. Then, on the index of my entries page for the ‘news’ channel I have embedded another news channel to display the title etc.

Later down the page, I’d like another module which embeds another one of my channels, ‘vIdeos’. No matter what I do it just doesn’t seem to be embedding. Here’s my code:

{exp:channel:entries channel="videos" limit="1"}

<div id="featured_video">
 <div class="video_thumbnail">
  <img src="{video_thumbnail}" />
 div>
  <div class="video_details">
   <h2>{title}h2>
    <p>{video_description}p>
     <a href="/temp">Read Morea>
  div>
div> 

{/exp:channel:entries} 

That was just something quick I drafted up and it’s just not working. Nothing is showing whatsoever, the HTML isn’t even rendering in the source code. I should also point out if I place it on another page it will embed fine.

Would appreciate some help,

Redirect to Home Page after Admin Logout?

2012-05-10T20:00:32Z

Just curious if there was a way to send the user back to the home page of the website when they logout of the admin section of the website, instead of automatically going to the login screen.

Notify Author on entry Update

2012-02-13T01:12:22Z

This question may be related to a resolved thread.

SolSpace’s Entry Notification isn’t available for EE2 and won’t be for several months. MX Notify Control doesn’t let you update the author of the entry that I can see. Any other options?

Updating 1.7 to 2.x latest chokes on number of comments

2012-11-25T01:43:34Z

I am having a hard time. I have an old Wordpress website that I’ve managed to export the posts, comments, etc in MT format.

In order to import that of course, I have to start with a 1.7 EE install. That I did fine.

Then I went to upgrade that install to 2.x. There is nothing but data, no templates or anything, but this is a 7 year old WP blog with a LOT of comments. (And posts, but comments generally run 5-7 per post averaged out, so 5-7 times more of them).

So I’m watching my upgrade churn away at upgrading the database, and it gets to comments, gets most of the way there (70,000+ out of around 83,000) and I get a 500 Internal Server Error, presumably because the script is timing out.

I’ve tried twice by restoring everything to 1.7 (and my database backup restore via PHPMySQL chokes on the same damn table, what a nightmare) but this timeout has happened twice now, officially.

I guess my first question is, will an .htaccess increase in max_execution_time and the like make the script keep going and not time out?

What other options do I have?

Page URLs ending with .php that don’t exist are not recognized as 404

2012-11-25T01:27:56Z

All page URLs ending in in .php (I.e. http://www.mydomain.com/services/page.php) that don’t exist in EE are not being recognized by EE as a 404 and not rendering the EE designated 404 page.

Instead the error page is:

Not Found

The requested URL /services/page.php was not found on this server.

Apache Server at http://www.mydomain.com Port 80

Thanks in advance,

Avatars not displaying in comment block.

2012-11-25T00:43:56Z

Having trouble getting the member avatars to display in the comment entries block. The commenting is working fine and I’ve got it set up so that members can choose from a set of avatar images we’ve selected for them, but I can’t seem to get the avatars to show up on the site.

Any suggestions as to what I might be missing?

Best Way To Deal With External Links? (2 Questions)

2012-11-25T00:06:43Z

I’m trying to allow my client to enter up to 5 links so I have the following code:

<ul id="links">
 <li>{link_1}li>
 <li>{link_2}li>
 <li>{link_3}li>
 <li>{link_4}li>
 <li>{link_5}li>
ul> 

Questions

1. Whats the simplest way to set this up for my client so all they have to do is type the word in the field like “google” , highlight the words and add a link so it will link to “http://google.com”? Is there a field type specifically for links so nothing will be added but the anchor?

2. The code above works for displaying the links, but not all of the links will be added all the time but I’ll still be left with blank list items. If there is no link in #4 or #5, how do I stop it from displaying the

for both of those fields?

Safecrackers, specifying categories across multiple pages

2012-11-24T21:29:03Z

I have a multiple page Safecracker form, as there are a number of large category groups that need to be chosen from.
On Page 2, I have a content type select.
On Page 3, I have a topic select.
And, on Page 4, I have a number of selects to reference syllabus documents.

The select fields look like this, that is the categories shown are being filtered by group_id:

<select name="category[]" id="select_syll-ac" multiple="multiple" class="multiselect">
          {categories group_id="17"}
                  <option value="{category_id}"{selected}>{category_name}option>
          {/categories}
  select> 

Currently, only the options selected on Page 4 are making it to the final entry.
I thought that previously the options selected on page 2 were also being retained.

preserve_checkboxes=“yes” does not fix the behaviour.

Given Pages 2, 3 and 4 are all dealing with categories, do I have to add a hidden select of the category groups on Page 2 and 3 to Page 4?
