triggering borders in the themes

Hi folks,

Since version 2004010800 I have a sideeffect, which I cant explain. Per example: When I use the refresh-button in my browser (IE6 and Mozilla 1.4 too) the borders of the frames are triggering on and off. It seems, using a link inside the site triggers the style.php of the theme.

You can try it at http://online-lernen.rieger-hs.ac.at .

Can anybody give me a hint?

by, Franz

Man, that's a weird one. Had a look at your site and I've never seen that before. Maybe just compare your files and see if there's a rogue space or something out of place. Maybe even try a fresh theme, example would be to switch to a different theme and see if it still does that.

Ok! I have another site to test this phenomen! I updated my site http://online-lernen.jubelbox.at to the newest CVS-version and changed the theme to cordoroyblue.

... Again! The same effect! It seems to be an error with themes  with a pix-directory!

Can anybody help to find this error?

bye, Franz

Now I have deleted my entire local CVS directory and then downloaded a completely new entire version 2004010900, which I then uploaded in my web-directory.

... The same effect! After refreshing the site the borders and textures disappear, the next refresh they come again.

I dont know what to do sad(

Well Franz, I just don't know.

I'm gonna make a couple of guesses here:
1. Did you also start with a fresh config.php file or did you re-use an old one?
2. Can you check your /theme/yourtheme/config.php file and make sure there are NO spaces or lines after the final ?> although this should have no ill effects
3. Server issue somewhere

For some reason the page finishes loading before it finds the stylesheet for your site? I've noticed that some pages are very slow to load. SEE: #3


I've just uploaded and started a brand new Moodle 1.2 Dev 2004010900. This is a new site, not an upgrade, and no problems. I've never seen that before, only on your site.

There are bugs in cordoroyblue/header.html .. I've fixed them in CVS.  Basically the <head> tag should come before the PHP call to print meta tags.

To fix it on your site, just copy header.html from the "standard" theme over the copy in cordoroyblue.

I did it! I exchanged the lines you mentioned. Without success! sad

I also compared my header.html with that one of a standard theme. No difference except the logo implentation.

The problem: The effect is in every theme!
By the way! Yesterday I changed all files on my webdirectory uploading the  complete package. The effect did not dissappear sad

The problem is that your style sheet is not loading. I went here just now

http://online-lernen.rieger-hs.ac.at/theme/rieg/styles.php

and got a 401 error from your web host. When I reloaded it worked fine. This would seem to be a problem with the configuration of the server. I'm not sure what, but this might help:

You might want to contact your host about this.

Hi Franz,

I have the same problem http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=4675. It is not a problem with this theme. I used the other themes and got the same results. I tested the same version of moodle on an other server without problems.

For some reason your style sheet (eg http://dialoge.info/e/theme/brightretro/styles.php) must not be loading in your browser sometimes from that site. But it works for me and your site does too.  thoughtful

I had a similar problem myself  a few days agoo after a problem on the hosts' webserver. It became local proxyserverproblem. So I switched off proxycaching for our Moodle-site for a while (until the CSS-file will be dropped)

Martin,

it seems to be ok. After login and some minutes using moodle the typo changes. Look at the file. This picture I made some minutes ago.

What happens when you view the style sheet directly in your browser? Keep reloading it while holding down the shift key.

For me I sometimes see the style sheet, and sometimes get an Error 500.  This is definitely a problem with your service provider, not Moodle.
