Temporary Theme - Possible Bug

by zakir321 February 16th 2008, 6:58 pm

Well, i wanted to play around with the Temporary Themes a little, and i think i have detected a strange bug in this feature - at least it wont work for me. Look at the screenshot below:

This is what you see when you edit a temporary theme, the images-tab seems to work perfectly, but its the colors-tab that is probably bugged. When you click it, you will get redirected to the normal Colors-field all the time, so when you attempt to make a change, it will change the CURRENT theme, not the temporary. So basically there is now no way to edit the colors of the temporary theme...

Also, the CSS settings won't show up in the preview of a temporary theme....

Probably its just an issue fore me but I hope someone can clarify this. Thank you in advance! Smile

Seems fine to me on my forums.

really? thats even more strange...

but note that the small green check still appears on "temporary themes", but in fact, if you change a color value, it applies directly on the current theme, not on the temporary one... for me at least. @_@

That is a bit weird.

I'd like to bump this, as it's pretty annoying. it happens both in my normal forum and my testboard.

clearing the browsers cache has been tried already, of course. Wink

hope someone can bring in some light in here...

How can you reach to this section in the forum?????

In your Admin Panel, go to "Styles / Temporary Themes" and you can create 3 themes that you also can edit, but without actually changing your current theme. this is practically like a draft - you change it there and apply it to your forum once it looks good. Smile

For me the problem still remains! I ve started yesterday to edit a new temporary theme.
During editing the main current theme was changing too! When i submit the temporary theme change all the users see the changes. So it makes no difference if i edit a temp theme or th current theme!
Each time I have to go the the main theme and submit it again in order to leave it, at its normal state.

thanks
