artisteer 4.1 vs MojoPortal

Hi,

I created my own skin in Artisteer 4.1 and now I'm running in to something strange.

1) Like all tutorials say, I've created a three-column page.

2) I added all the exported files to the Data/Sites/1/skins/<skin> folder

3) I run Mojo

The good news: most of my design is visible in Mojo! But...

Once I add a page in Mojo, with some center HTML content and a HTML content in the right, the columns show up beneath each other.

If I add another HTML Content on the left, all content shows up as expected, although the center content doesn't wrap as it supposed to do.

Can anyone push me in the right direction?

TIA

What version of mojoPortal? You should use the latest version.

If the site is public post a link so we can see the problem.

Re: artisteer 4.1 vs MojoPortal

Hi Joe,

thanks for answering.

System Information

mojoPortal Versie 2.3.9.5 MSSQL
Operating SystemMicrosoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0
ASP.NET Info v4.0.30319 Running in Full Trust
Server tijdzone Eastern Daylight Time
Lokale Server Tijd (GMT -4) 20-3-2013 14:46:35
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT/UTC)20-3-2013 18:46:35

You can see the problem on http://test.scvalburg.com/

The home-page has 3 columns, if I would remove the left content it appears as the Copyvanhomepage (under Home).

My skin folder name is 'scv2.0.0', I'm not sure a dot is a special character?

Thanks,

Sjors

Re: artisteer 4.1 vs MojoPortal

Can you try upgrading to mojoPortal 2.3.9.6 and also download and install the very latest version of our Artisteer exporter from your user profile on this site. Also double check if you are using the very latest Artisteer (ie make sure you have Artisteer 4.1 not 4.1RC).

If you do those things and the problem remains then send me your .artx file so I can try to produce the problem on my machine joe dot audette at g mail dot com

Hope that helps,

Joe

I would also try removing the dots from the skin folder name at least to rule it out as a problem

Re: artisteer 4.1 vs MojoPortal

Joe,

- tried to upgrade to version 2.3.9.6. I did see a lot of changes, I'm at revision 5116 now. In my settings it still says 2.3.9.5 however. Did I forgot something?

- I have the latest version of Artisteer

- Downloaded the latest version of the skin exporter

- Exported a skin without dots in the foldername

The result is even worse than before. My menu is transformed into a accordeon (so it seems). No colums at all, left above center, center above right content...

I have sent you a mail with my artx-file.

Thanks again.

If you are upgrading from the source code you need to make sure you rebuild the entire solution then visit the /Setup/Default.aspx page

Source code and official release versions are not the same thing, version numbers only correspond to database changes at the time the official release was packaged.

Re: artisteer 4.1 vs MojoPortal

So the versionnumber 2.3.9.5 (in mojo) is the latest (highest) database version?

After visiting setup/default.aspx the result is the same...

Re: artisteer 4.1 vs MojoPortal

Then you did not update correctly from source code. If working from the source code repository the steps to update are:

right click top level folder and choose HG Workbench
click the down arrow icon in the toolbar to pull all change sets
close HG Explorer
right click top level folder and choose TortoiseHG > Update
in the dialog make sure update to is set to Default branch and check the box to discard local changes
rebuild entire solution
run the web and visit /Setup/Default.aspx

But unless you are developing custom features that plug into mojoPortal there is no reason to use the source code, and you definitely should avoid modifying any mojoPortal code. People who are not developing custom plugin features should just use our pre-compiled deployment packages from the codeplex download page.

Re: artisteer 4.1 vs MojoPortal

Good morning Joe,

Thanks for reminding me of the steps to get the code. I think I didn't do the update after pulling.

I ám building my custom modules, that's why I'm using the sources.

I have my own projects (Data, Business, UI), I don't change any mojo code of course :)

Anyway, when I pull and update it's showing the correct version (2.3.9.6 MSSQL). The result is basically the same as the start of this thread: no left column -> right column under the center; left column -> all three columns are there.

So the same, without my 'The result is even worse than before. '-remark :)

The problem happens because you removed the default css prefix art- from the export options.

OMG. That's it! I can't even remember when or why I removed that!

A well deserved beer for you Joe, enjoy!
