[SOLVED] Reviews looks great. Submit Reviews seems to invert my site template

[SportingCircles]

Hi there. Firstly I have installed this component and am using it at www.sportingcircles.com and I love it! Works really well. Thanks!

I have a quick question. I have managed to get User Reviews working. However, once the user selects the category fo rthe review, it loads the next page up fine (where the user fills out the review) but my site template gets completely inverted. The blow background goes white. The menus can't be seen any more etc.

Any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "inverted". Does that mean black is white and white is black, or does it mean that things are right to left instead of left to right? Or does it only mean the things you have already listed?

1) Silly questions but have you repeated this more than once? Sometimes a packet is lost to your browser and a page could load completely awkward until you refresh.

2) If you are using Joomla 1.7 or after then keep in mind that you must be careful with the assignments of your menues and templates and make sure they and modules are assigned and are enabled for the page you are looking at (or to all pages).

3) Do you have user reviews open to the public or only to special groups? I would like to investigate this problem. If you do not have them open to everyone then could you please create an account which will work and then send a PM to me with the details so we can see the problem ourselves?

Thanks for your quick response. Most appreciated.

By inverted I mean colours, not left to right. And it's almost inverted. I'll send you login so you can see what I mean.

It's Joomla 1.5 and yes I tried it more than once.

I'll PM you now with login details.
Thanks so much.

I have taken a look at your site and I can see the problem. On the page in question your site is loading the CSS file for the administrative template rather than the user template. I will discuss this with Row1 and get back to you. Please continue waiting.

Arr OK. That would make sense. Many thanks. I appreciate your efforts looking in to this and look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks again and bes wishes,

Yikes! I see what you mean.

Please try this work around. You can edit this file: http://sportingcircles.com/templates/ja_purity/css/template.css

Near the top you can change it to this:

Code: [Select]

body{
margin:0 0 0 0;
    margin:0px;
padding:0px;
  background:url(../images/bg.jpg) repeat-x #000038 !important;
 
}
Adding the !important part will stop the background disappearing.

Please let me know how you go.

w'. That worked a charm. Thank you so much! :-)

I am very pleased. It's a great component. I hope you continue to develop it as it is much easier to set up and use than JReviews and much better value! ;-)

Thanks again - top support. There are others who could learn a great deal from you and how you conduct your business.

Best wishes.

Row1: I can see what you did which worked in this case but we should figure out how to stop this from happening in the future.
