Re: artisteer (2.4) skin.

Well, maybe the reason could be hided at

body.pagebody {..}
or

#art-page-background-glare-image {..}

which are at style-artisteer-overrides.css

 

I am not a guru but if you will not found a way you may drop me 2 archives ( one the output from artisteer and another is your skin folder ) to igor145 at mail dot ru

Regards,

Igor

Re: artisteer (2.4) skin.

What version of mojoPortal are you using?

Re: artisteer (2.4) skin.

I just released mojoPortal 2.3.4.1 which supports Artisteer 2.4 as described in the article.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: artisteer (2.4) skin.

Hi Fabio, OK, I've received your skin and I could give you the small advice here:

1. Look at the sources of your rendered Artisteer page design and you will see regarding the header:

<div class="art-Header">
<div class="art-Header-png"></div>
<div class="art-Logo">
<h1 id="name-text" class="art-Logo-name"><a href="#">S.O.S India Chiama Onlus</a></h1>
</div></div>

2. Look at the Mojo design after yor're using the artisteer-swirly1 design as the template (we have the bottom menu):

<div class="art-Header">
<div class="art-Header-jpeg"></div>

<div class="art-Logo">
<h1 class='art-Logo-name art-logo-name siteheading'><a class='siteheading' href='http://localhost/2341/Default.aspx'>mojoPortal</a></h1>
<a href='#startcontent' class='skiplink'>Пропустить навигацию</a>
<div id="ctl01_InsecurePanel1" class="addthisbutton"></div>
<div id="slogan-text" class="art-Logo-text">Slogan Text</div></div>

As you may found we have some monor mistake : we expect the art-Header-png class and we have actually the art-Header-jpeg class.
 

My advice is simple: just add the art-Header-jpeg class to the art-Header-png class definition in your style.css file which will looks like:

div.art-Header-png, div.art-Header-jpeg
{
position: absolute;
z-index:-2;
top: 0;
left: 0;
width: 980px;
height: 150px;
background-image: url('images/Header.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: left top;
}

Hope it helps. I've sent you the design back.

Regards,

Igor

Re: artisteer (2.4) skin.

Hi,

The problem is that you should not use artisteer-swirly1 or artisteer-greenlagoon for creating skins from Artisteer 2.4. As indicated in the documentation about using Artisteer, those skins only work as a starting point for Artisteer 2.3. We have new skins that should be used as the starting point for Artisteer 2.4.

The main issue is that the Artisteer CSS classes are now all lower case in 2.4 like art-jeader-png not art-Header-png (like in Artisteer 2.3) and since CSS is case sensitive the old CSS classes will not work.

Make sure you upgrade to mojoPortal 2.3.4.1 and then re-do your skin using one of the new artisteer-24* skins as the starting point.

Hope it helps,

Joe
