Being new to Joomla I do not know all the tricks for troubleshooting etc. Currently I have a page that has a section of content on it. The content is created by DT Register but I've been through the CP several times and cannot find the section?
I hope someone is up and can share with me how to track down where pieces of content come from so I can find where this is being generated and change as needed.
The page in question is a DT Register form. I can locate and modify every section of the page EXCEPT one.
The section is titled USER INFORMATION and captures userid & password to create an account. Looking at the element in developer tools it would appear it is part of the dt register generated code but as I mentioned I can't find it.
The sandbox I am playing in is here: http://take7.lamplighterguild.com/index.php/register?eventId=15&controller=event&task=individualRegister
The section is towards the top and is hard to read on the page...which is why I want to find it.
Thank you for any help or direction.
So unfortunately my question was poorly worded. I have no trouble at all getting the css changed. It is the origin of the content that I am really trying to track down. Where does it come from etc. Is there a way to detect if it came from an article, or a component, etc. I thought there might be clues as how to figure that out.
For troubleshooting issues like this, tools like Firebug or Web Inspector for Chrome and Safari are your go to tools. If you aren't already familiar with them you'll find lots of help online.
There is default body text styling of colour #D9A362 getting into your page from one of the stylesheets. I can't find the source quickly myself, though it's easy enough to write an override.
One place you could do this is open http://take7.lamplighterguild.com/templates/theme1001/css/template.css with a text editor. Below the existing body rule # line 7, add something like
body.cssstyle-style1{
color:black;
}
This will fix the H2 text at the top of the page which you mention, plus the 'user information' line immeadiately above the form.
Hope this helps!
EDIT
You have something which is writing the following style to your page head and this is the culprit:
body {font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:21px; color:#D9A362; }
It's even on your home page so it's not necesaarily related to DT Register. To me it looks like it's coming from your menu extension.

Warning: I'm a noob. The little I know comes from fiddling around.
I maintain a hobby website of images created in bootstrap 3 and I would like to have a responsive rollover image that also links to the full size image.
I have been able to complete the responsive rollover part, but I can't figure out how to add the link to display the full image.
Here's what I have so far:
https://jsfiddle.net/11cmcznn/
HTML:
<div class="rollover-wrapper-1"><div class="rollover-image-1"></div>
I can't post the CSS because I don't have reputation points yet.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Put href before the div and make sure you close the parent div too. Like this
<div class="rollover-wrapper-1"><div class="rollover-image-1"></div></div>
Well I've run into another problem. I have the rollover image working properly including linking to the full size image. But for some reason whenever I add the code to the webpage and the style sheet, somehow the webpage is looking for the style sheet in the wrong place on my website.
I have a style sheet "default.css" that I use for all my webpages. This css sheet is in the root of the website. But for some reason the webpage with the rollover image will not display the image, and when I inspect the element within Chrome it gives me 404 error stating that the default.css is not found in a certain folder on the website. I've never had the default.css in any folder besides the root.
So somehow the webpage is looking for a style sheet in a place where none exists, and I have no idea why.
If I copy the default.css style sheet from the root into the folder it's looking for then the webpage loads properly, but I don't want to have to maintain two identical style sheets. I just don't know how the style sheet got attached to the webpage.
I'm sorry for the vagueness of this problem, but I don't know enough to make a more informed question.
I am developing a template for bigcommerce site, where i want to show category list and some hard code links in the place of Page menu. Now what i do, just place this %%Panel.SideCategoryList%% in the upper navigation area. Which shows category list right.
But the problem is that i didn't find this %%SNIPPET_SideCategoryList%% file. (In snippets folder exist a file with this name, but that file doesn't work even if i remove all contents of that file.)
I had a similar issue with SNIPPET_SideShopByBrandList.
I logged a ticket and got the following response:
Thank you for contacting BigCommerce technical support.
I see its reference in SideShopByBrand panel. In the same panel, there is another SNIPPET_ShopByBrandAllItem which is visible in snippets tree, but not this one. That's because its a hidden snippet, and its not possible to edit this.
I have tested this in my personal store as well, and the output is same. let me know if you have any other questions.
I think yours might also be a "hidden snippet and not possible to edit"
No worry....You need to just create html page and put the below code but keep one thing don't include the html, head, body etc
1) just create a html page and delete the html content
2) put the below my code for
3)
<li class="%%GLOBAL_LastChildClass%%">%%GLOBAL_CategoryName%%
%%GLOBAL_SubCategoryList%%
</li>
We've been noticing an increase in number of broken links on our sitecore website.
Some it is due to
User Training
Publishing Issues (linked page is not yet published)
Maybe content editor issues
It's been hard to verify some of these but sometimes the link might have the authoring page URL (which means someone didn't follow the SOP), sometimes they have a strange url like /shell/Content Editor/...
So we are trying to proactively fix these before the pages go live.
I had a couple ideas like writing a Handler that would look through all "Rich Text Fields" and looking for inconsistencies (like authoring server URL). Also using a crawler-type of validator could help us (http://home.snafu.de/tilman/xenulink.html#Description) but we were wondering what the community was doing to address this issue.
The "internal link checker" usually works well but doesn't detect many of this erroneous setups (as I believe it sees them as 'external links').
Your input is greatly appreciated!
If you have RichText fields and create internal links, your internal link looks like this in the HTML view: "a href="~/link.aspx?_id=EB3AD128E7BF4F3C9F3812F701D7724E&_z=z" and when you hover with your mouse over it, is show "/Sitecore/Shell/Controls/Rich Text Editor/" before the ~/link.aspx. This is normal behavior. This link is modified to a normal link during rendering of the RTE field.
However, be sure to use the Sitecore controls like to render these RTE fields and to render links. Also using sc:fld() in XSLT instead of sc:field() can create strange links because sc:fld is rendering the raw value of the field.
In all of the Sitecore projects I have been working on, I didn't have much issues with broken links.
There is a known bug with copy-pasting links from a rich text editor, where path info is appended to the link (generating the /shell/Content Editor/ stuff).
Sitecore have a fix for it here:
http://sdn.sitecore.net/Products/Sitecore%20V5/Sitecore%20CMS%206/ReleaseNotes/KnownIssues%20Recommended/Copying%20and%20pasting%20link%20in%20rt%20fields%20may%20break%20the%20link.aspx
I would suggest a new Validation Action added to the workflow command before the items are finalized. Then you could actively stop them from being published and give immediate feedback. If you're not using workflows, you could add a new item level validator, but those often get ignored in my experience -- too many false positives on the existing validators.
Looks like an issue was closed related to the question I'm about to ask, so I wonder if I'm going to be skating on thin ice, but here goes. I feel like even though this is kind of localized by nature, it could be a useful example for other developers dealing with the Like button.
I seem to be having issues regarding the Facebook like button. The infuriating part is that I'm pretty confident I have everything setup properly, and even though the linter says "hey, this all looks kosher!" the like button fails to get the correct content and uses cached info from a different page.
Here's the case: referlocal.com. We serve daily deals, and list them right off the homepage. There can be one of many deals listed on that homepage, so obviously Facebook is seeing just one when it goes to take a peek at the root directory. Now, on the homepage, whatever deal your viewing has a FB Like XFBML tag with href and ref attributes set. Every page that displays a deal also has OG tags pointing directly to the offer view page. Deals can also be viewed on user pages. So, on these three paths:
/
/{username}
/offers/{city}/{title-url-alias}
a like button is included as well as OG tags that point to /offers/{city}/{title-url-alias}. For about 3 weeks, the button worked like a champ. But recently, it's been performing strangely. For any deal, regardless of the 3 locations, it always uses the information cached from the previous days "/" deal. Regardless of the OG tags or origination.
Here's the wildly confusing part. The Facebook Linter is supposed to recache the information on the page, right? Well, it sort of does. It picks up on all of the appropriate information set in the OG tags, but when you click the Like button at the bottom of the page, no dice, still uses the deal FB saw on the homepage from the day before.
I know this is probably killing my argument for localization, but check this out:
http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/?url=http%3A%2F%2Freferlocal.com%2Foffers%2Fdallas%2Fget-20-of-authentic-italian-american-cuisine-for-only-10-at-leggios-italian-ristorante-dallas
Regardless of the fact that the linter finds all the appropriate information, the like button at the bottom still is liking a deal FB cached from the previous day.
Any ideas?
I had this problem too. The linter caches things in a very weird manner - seems like the best thing to do is either to add a query string and change it every time, or just rename the file every time you're checking.
That's my first question in here, I've been looking through old questions, but nothing matched with my problem. Here it is.
I'm creating some site with one main functionality. We want this site to display content of other sites, but in a specific way. User chooses let's say two pages from five and want to see their content. He clicks button 'Display' and goes to next page where he finds let's say view from web cam, and here comes problem.
I want to cache image that is hidden behind the url from which image was downloaded, so after refresh image won't be downloaded again, but browser will get it from cache.
I've been looking through documentation of Django, but nothing seemed to be useful.
I know that I should:
1) create table which stores cache
2) add to settings.py some CACHE_BACKEND = ...
3) use #cache_page(300) before declaration of function which returns content which should be cached,
but... it doesn't seem to work.
I will be greateful if someone tells how to solve that problem, maybe with some sort of code showing the mechanism.
Cheers,
Chris.
I think that right way to do this will be to store image somewhere on your server and delete it later with cron or something similar.
Django cache framework wasn't created for the purpose you are trying to use it.
