Dashboard lost style

Permalink
First off I have lost my edit icons etc that appear when I log in as admin. In fact I have lost the whole header (top part including graphic and site name) off each page. I searched the forums and found similar issues and the recommendation was to clear the cache. I logged on and then navigated to the dashboard - index.php/dashboard. Unfortunately all the pages here are plain html - no styling at all. I click a link for Sitewide Settings Secure and setup your site. Then click a link for Debug. Here I found a section on Cache but when I try and click the clear cache link the browser just shows Javscript void() in the bottom left of the browser window. What has gone wrong.... how can I get my buttons back and the dashboard pages displaying using the style. Thanks

We need to eliminate variables here, so we'll need to know if it all the sudden stopped working, or if a template change caused this.

Few ideas off the top of my head that could potentially cause an issue:

the site is installed in a folder named concrete and your document-root is set to that. I had an issue a while ago where no css styles were applied because the theme and the folder the site was living at off of the root where named the same :). While this wasn't as drastic as your situation, I could see where parallels could be drawn.

Report back with more info when you get a chance.

I'm on a Linux hosted platform. In \htdocs I have installed concrete. As you can see if you visit the site I have used the Yoghurt theme. I also installed Image Gallery which requires some files to be added to the theme directory that I use. To make upgrades easier. I copied the \concrete\themes\default directory to the \themes directory and renamed it PLAST. I then went to dashboard and changed the theme from default to plast (even though in essence they are the same). This has worked great and I had no issues with the various upgrades up to 3.11. The last thing I did before I started experiencing the issue was swiching on friendly url's. I have tried backing this out and the only way was to access the db and change the value in the config table from 1 to 0. I have even overwriten just the concrete folder completely with a freshly downloaded copy from SourceForge.
