My theme is resulting in totaly blank pages  Bottom

  • When I try and edit the blocks from the settings menu or change something that should go back to the main settings menu I get a Blank Page. It's completely blank with NO source at all in it when you look at it. It's just an empty file.

    I have absolutely no idea where to start to fix this problem. It doesn't happen on all pages. Just seems to be when I goto that page or do something that results in returning to the admin page like editing an admin message.


    This problem does not exist in the default lite theme. Im not sure what to do. I didn't have this problem before I (fresh) installed the new postnuke.
  • What theme are you using? And what version of PostNuke?

  • Im using a theme I made myself from that modified Extralite theme that somebody made way back. I basicly applied the PHP from that into my own completely fresh design.

    The older version of postnuke I had did not have problems. This one (.750) does though.
  • I suggest you go over your theme code veeery carefully and check it for HTML errors. The style of HTML produced by the PN core has changed a little, so it's possible that the subtle change has made a small error you made before suddenly become a bigger problem. Of course, an interim solution for you is to set your own theme to Extralite while the site default theme is your own. At least you can admin in peace that way.

    I'm guessing you read nate's theme tutorial - it's a sticky at the top of the 3rd party theme forum. Using his method, you should be able to plop that theme into an editor like dreamweaver (don't use frontpage!) or netscape composer and see if it thinks anything is funky with your code.

  • Is there any way I can find out what elements have changed?

    What I find most odd is that the blank pages are totaly blank, they aren't error filled garbage, just a Blank Page with no code at all AND only when I'm returning to a page after some of change. If you goto the site with the theme loaded it will work fine. Maybe that isn't odd to you guys though.

    I've been making sites in dreamweaver for years now, and this design was made in dreamweaver. I wouldn't know what to look for since this theme worked flawlessly in my old postnuke version. (probably 72 or something)

    I can look over my theme PHP but im not sure what to look for that would cause limited problems. I would have an idea where to start if I loaded it up and it just said "YOU BROKE IT!" but that isnt the case. :-\
  • If you view source and you have nothing then it's a PHP error, but that would make no sense since you can use everything properly with Extralite.

    Since it's only an admin problem, maybe you should refresh the NS-Admin module from an install file. anybody have some stronger suggestions?

  • i can give you some rights if you want to probe it
  • Frank.

    In the tutorials and solutions section there's a short tutorial I wrote on getting to bottom of blank pages (PHP errors when you've got display errors turned off). This should help here.
