Theme problem?
Permalink
Hi,
i'm pretty new to c5, i just did my first theme installation as a test, everything is fine and smooth, however when i add an area, the border of the area is visible, but as soon as i mouseover it goes red, and STAYS red, no hand cursor appears, and when i click nothing happens, any idea on what might be the cause of this problem?
Thanks!

Hi Turtler,
Sometimes it is due to certain div's/ elements is not closed properly. And there were times if a pagetype is not available, c5 themes will use the default.php/view.php file to render the view for that page. Try to change to a different pagetype which you have installed in your themes.
So, might as well check the div id's and classes for the view.php file which has a code like this; <?php print $innerContent; ?> for the main area to print it's contents.
You could also provide us with a link to your test site (if its live) and people could hop over to take a look.
Use Firebug to see if any error occurs and detect the possible culprit.
Hope it helps.

*edit* also take a look madeforspace given code. and making sure there are no duplicates of Area_Names within that code in a certain pagetype file.

@madeforspace my code at the moment looks like this
<?php $a = new Area('Main'); $a->display($c); ?>
Thanks for the fast replies
@irsah
i checked and i have no unclosed div, no area duplicates (it's the only area). I'll have a look if firebug throws any errors, but in chrome i wasn't getting any JS errors, nor anything in the console!

I was going down the route that irsah went in checking you don't have two areas with the same name, which can cause this problem.
Do you have a URL we could take a look at?

@madeforspace not yet but i'm working on it, i understand it would be an hell lot easier indeed
I doubt it is this but you never know.
Is your theme in this file structure root/theme/yourtheme/files.php
I am trying to remember exactly what happened but I think I had a similar problem when I forgot to add a yourtheme folder.
Can you do some scree grabs? Chrome preferred for me with Inspect Element.

Yes, i have that folder structuring, i posted a screenshot 2 posts below
Thanks for heads up madeforspace, yeah agreed, possible look thru would be best.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Hmm.. nothing much I could offer here (based on image), I see the c5 edit mode classes and js is available. The contents (edit mode) is a bit unstyled. Possible loose ends, styles or additional js call with theme???...usually what I encounter mostly when theme conversions...
Is it like this?
