Quick question about AutoTheme (making[left-blocks] to show)  Bottom

  • I'm running PostNuke with AutoTheme on Win2k server on my intranet FYI..

    I'm having a problem getting my [left / right / center-blocks] to display at all. I have gotten things like [user-links] and [modules] to work so I know the theme system is at least working.

    I will post code and a screenshot. Could you just take a look at the code and tell me if you can see what I'm doing wrong? I'd really really appreciate it

    ok here is my HTML

    Code

    <style type="text/css" media="screen"&gt;@import "style/style.css";</style>
    </head>
    <body>

    <div style="padding: 15px 0px 0px 5px;"> <span id="siteName">
      <!-- [site-name] -->
      </span> </div>

    <div id="navBar">
      <div id="navBarLeft">
       </div>

      <div id="navBarRight"><!-- [user-links] -->
      </div>
    </div>

    <div id="mainMenu">
      <!-- [left-blocks] -->
      Main Menu should go here!</div>
    <img id="logo" src="http://staffnet/PN/html/themes/Staffnet/images/cnreLogo.gif">

    <div id="mainContent">
      <!-- [modules] -->

    </div>
    <div id="footer"></div>
    </body>


    and my left-block HTML looks like this:

    Code

    <div id="mainMenu">
    test
    <!-- [block-title] --><br>
    <!-- [block-content] --><br>
    </div>


    And here is the screenshot.
  • Make sure your theme.cfg is using the right file names for the blocks. If you do that and there's still a problem, try doing a cut & paste of the comment code from a working AT (like the default themes that come with it).

  • WHEW *wipes dripping sweat off of forehead*

    After three days I have finally figured it out. I have read the documentation over and over again and I just couldn't find it!

    Turns out that if you go to your PN site > Administration > AutoTheme > AutoThemes > Configure > Custom Blocks > you will find my problem. I specified in the "Main Menu" to point to leftblock.html and presto-chango it works.

    I have to say, the information management of the AutoTheme control panel is a bit lacking. But thanks for the feedback :)
  • Yup ... the autothemes module is impossible to learn, but easy to use .... after you have nearly ripped out all your hair it is dawns on you how to use it.
  • If you're looking to learn AutoTheme, check out my Tutorial...but only if you want to master it! There's nothing to it if you come with an open mind. There is a fee of $5...but as every user of the Tutorial will tell you, it's worth a ton more! It includes the best support you've ever seen...

    Have a good one...
