Joomla Templates

After installing polarbear pro chromatic, when a user access a special privileges menu item, some of the formatting disappears:
1. The links revert to the light blue colour
2. The buttons lose their images & formatting

I'd like to put up a link, but it's a semi-live site with a special privileges user. Normal & registered users don't have the same problem.

Thanks for any help.

This is strange, when logging in to the front end of my demo I still get the styling. Do you mind posting a link to your site so I can see the source code? If you don't want to post a link to the site please email me at

Hi Alekc,
I'll try logging into our demo and see if anything changes - I can't see why this woud be causing issues but am sure we'll get to the bottom of it.
If it's something you don't want to post here but can email me then use info[at]joomlabear.com - always easier to look at the issues live.

Are there any extensions that become active when a user has logged in? possibly bringing some additional conflicting css into the mix.

Thank you for the pointers. It was the contentsubmit extension that was playing up. I'll check out the css later on.

I've had a look and can't find a css file for contentsubmit. I didn't have this problem with the previous version of polarbear.
I've sent you the link to info[at]joomlabear.com

Thanks a lot.

Heya,

Got your link - have had a quick look.

Javascript on that page is conflicting with the javascript style switcher.

A quick fix is to open template.css and replace the color value #0066cc with #666666

a:link, a:visited, a:active (line 43)

{

color: #0066cc;

outline-color: -moz-use-text-color;

outline-style: none;

outline-width: medium;

}

Let me know if this is sufficient. If you have a look at the source code there is A LOT of javascript being called and embedded into the page - could be very difficult to get all of that working with the style switcher.

What I've proposed is only good if you are happy to run with the light grey - otherwise the color would need to be updated in the main template.css if you change colors on the site.

Let me know your thoughts on this - I'd like a better solution and will definitely keep thinking it through.

I've also found this workaround and it's absolutely fine. It's mainly the buttons I have a problem with. They can't find the background image. I'm happy changing the code, since I will only use the gray template for the moment.

Thanks for the quick help.

sorry I did not address the buton issue - The images seemed to be there for me? what browser are you using?

Firefox 3.0
I've checked it with IE, which works fine.

Hi Alek,
Are you still having the button problem - I looked but can't see - If you are still having the issue could you screen grab it for me?

For the moment I've used the workaround to change the colour of the links. The website is up & running for the public at the moment, so the link I sent you should be dead now, as is the user. Here's a screen shot (I've just realised the active menu links colour & images are not right either)

Thank you for your continued support.

I just noticed JCE editor in the middle of your graphic - Have you tried JoomlaFCK?
www.joomlafckeditor.com/

FCK is my no.1 editor of choice at present - beats JCE in my books. Does everything and more.

I only brought this up because I think the Javascript associated with the current editor is conflicting with the stylesheet switcher.

Can you activate that account for me again and I'll take a quick look at those active links. Though it might be in the morning - 11.15pm New Zealand time here :)

I'll give the jfckeditor a go. The jce editor was my first one and it was fine, so I never bothered to look for others. The only issue I had with it apart from this possible conflict is that I'd like the text to get a locked down to a font and size.
I'll install the jfckeditor when I've got time, which won't be for a week now. I'll let you know of the outcome.
Thanks again.

FCK does everything that JCE does and a couple of extras - when you link to a content item with the FCK J-link option it automatically finds the non SEF url for you which is great if you use SEF - if you tweak your SEF your links are preserved. JCE does a similar thing but the workflow takes more time.

Also has a source button that switches the WYSIWYG to source view without a popup or reload - it's instant.

And it has an embed flash button - which is fab. JCE does this but only with a paid for add-on. (not that I'm against paid for additions - devs need support to :)

But the real reason to go FCK is that it is the least buggy editor I have used inside of 2 years.

hello again,
it's been a while, but i needed a break.
so i've tried the new editor and i'm afraid it's not causing the problem. i'm using the contentsubmit extension, but the normal article submission menu item also causes the same problem.
thanks for the support
