Styles and functionality missing when i click add block in editing mode
Permalink
Hi all,
I'm new to concrete5 and have just attempted to install my own theme on localhost (wamp) environment. All going well so far, until i click on a content block to add a block to a page, it appears that the functionality and style of the page do not work. I just get a bare bones page with all the options on eg: Add 'Auto nav', Content, Date navigation etc. but with no style.
The rest of the dashboard works fine, just when i edit content in a page.
I'm a newbie, so i prob missed something really obvious. Any help appreciated.
thanks

DIR_REL is still available to use, which is why I thought that would be the problem. It could be that the image block is customized to have image paths include that subfolder. Only things that come to mind. Of course it could be the host like you said.
Hi, My custom theme styles are fine, but when i click to add content to a content block, the page where i have options to add content type, 'Auto nav', 'Content', 'Date navigation' etc has no style associated with the page, and when i click any of the options nothing happens. Let me know if you need any more info. Thanks.
I think it's a different use of nomenclature.
Could you grab a screen shot of what you're seeing -- and perhaps comment on that -- and attach it to this thread?

Hi, The links do seem to work, but no styles, and hard to read. See screenshot. thanks
Thanks, that confirms.
It looks like the style sheet in your custom theme isn't being picked up. The main stylesheet is named main.css and there's a 2nd stylesheet named typography.css. The latter is used to provide a WYSIWYG view when editing.
Things to check:
Ensure that your theme is enabled and active.
Confirm your theme's folder structure by comparing it to a theme in the core product. Double check the documentation used to create the theme.
Ensure that the stylesheet has linux permissions to be read by Apache.

Hi Thanks for your help, but I discovered the problem. The jquery being used by concrete5, was conflicting with my own linked version of jquery hence the unstyled content that should have been displayed in the modal window. I'll keep an eye out for that one in future.
Thanks again.:)

Others having the same problem will benefit for your identifying the solution. Glad you got it working!
I'd use Firebug in Firefox to identify the active style sheets and the styling (or lack of that) on the specific markup.
That would tell you if your custom main.css (and typography.css) are being picked up and active.
