Xenforo Upgrade

[harshness]

The regular light theme works fine, its the no sticky navbar on thats having issues.

I was having significant trouble with the default light skin (with sticky nav bar). There's something in the light themes and I'm not seeing so far in the dark sticky theme.

That's what crew caps are for!

I'm using the SatelliteGuys Light - Default and I'm having the same kinds of issues. Not today, but have been since the beginning of time.

Keyword there was... was.

The no sticky nav bar is still messed up. I will fix it, probably tomorrow when I get time.

It's screwed up again this morning.

It's screwed up again this morning.

Yup, both the Light styles are screwed up.

Give Scott a chance; at least let him finish his coffee!

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yup I am seeing it again as well.

What the hell is going on.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok I updated the light style the way Xenforo instructed me to.

Now I need to make the no sticky navbar style.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok I have the Non Sticky Style done. You will need to select it again if you were using it.

I guess this way of updating makes sense, but its totally different then the way it was done in Xenforo 1.

I will work on the dark styles in a little bit.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Any issues now on the light style?

 

[JSheridan]

Any issues now on the light style?

Default No Sticky seems to be back to normal. Thank you.

 

[harshness]

I will work on the dark styles in a little bit.

If it ain't broke...

And people wonder why my hair is getting thin on top.

God made some men's heads correctly... The rest, he covered!

Back on topic. Light/sticky still working for me.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

If it ain't broke...

Its broke, they were not updated correctly. Meaning if I don't take care of it now, the next Xenforo update will wipe out all the changes again. In addition some new functionality and security code is not in the current style. So its important to get it right.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok it turned into a crazy day here at working. I am going to jump in and try upgrading the dark styles now.

There may be a few minutes the dark styles are unavailable, but dont worry they will be back.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Ok I have the dark themes all set. ANd in my testing all looks fine...

But in doing it I noticed something odd... remember how I was saying there was a caching problem and I turned off the caching. Well in the dark theme, the logo was not displaying for me so I looked at the source code and the logo file was being named 2019logo.png.pagespeed.webp. I would go in the style and change the style URL for the logo to the correct path and it would change it back and add the pagespeed.webp to the end. So I searched and our webserver software has Google Pagespeed built in. So I researched more and found out that Pagespeed has a cache... and looking at it... well it was corrupted. So a quick clearing of the cache and restarting the services and now the logo shows like its supposed to.

So our issues probably were due to the caching... but not do to the caching I turned off but to the pagespeed caching built in the webserver.

Lesson learned..

I really got to liking the Dark, now that I've given it some time to adjust ...

Hopefully its back soon .... what was dark yesterday is now Light ... and its a stark difference.

edit: Found it !!!

Thanks for all the effort Scott

 

[Foxbat]

Jimbo convinced me to try the Dark theme again. I’m going to try it for a week and see.

 

[long_time_DNC]

Think I'll give the dark theme a try again too...
