Hi Chop,

I tried to download your change to our website by saving the layout.html file to my hard drive. When I tryed to upload it back the whole website turned white with no graphics and the font was off. I was forced to revert to original and cannot figure out how to put your layout back in without that issue.

I also downloaded the default layout.html file and tried to install it right back in with the same result. Any clue what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks

I see what happened.

When you saved the page, it copied the images and stylesheets to the hard drive then changed the location of them in the code.

Look in the files for examples like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="choplayout_files/style.htm" type="text/css">

And change them to the correct location of href="/settings/divineforsaken/style"

It did it at least for the style and the logo. I'll upload the changes I made, but for the future, you'll want to right click and "Save Target As" or "Save Link As", which will allow you to download the file as a file, not as a "webpage" (the browsers like to be "nice" when you download a web page).

href="/settings/divineforsaken/style"

Chops,

I tried using "save target as" and it still changed the links so I manually modified the file to correct the links per your post and on upload had the same problem when I tried to go live... could you let me know what other changes to make so that I'll have a valid backup to work from.

Sorry man...total early morning brain fart.

The location of the style page is "/style.php"

And you changed the type from "text/css" it must stay that, that's a File "Type" not a file "Location"

Chop,

I changed the line in question to:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/settings/divineforsaken/style.php" type="text/css"/>

Still turns everything white... was there another change I should have made?

Delete the stuff I just highlighted in red. The location of the file is "/style.php" not "settings/divineforsaken/style.php"

That's the default style information that uses the settings in your database. If you wnated to upload your own css file, you can use the Administrative File upload, then specify the proper location for the file (which would be something like /settings/divinesforsaken/files/style.css)

To fix this quickly and easily, all you have to do is click on the Layout File link, right click on the page that comes up and chooseview source. Then copy and paste the page text into note pad. Save it as a html file and upload it. That way none of the links are changed.
