Harald thanks, so is it only the caramel colorset that is causing the right sidebar to drop?

No, all 4 sets bring the same errors to me.

Carl, is it maybe possible to give the 3.1 style the chance to act like the triSexuality template? (both sidebars on the right side?)

Opera version 9. I don't know what you mean by colorset?

As Harald already mentioned there is a new option in s9y v1.1 which makes it possible to have different color 'presets'. We've included 4 of these colorsets which you can select in the Styles configuration - but only if you have s9y v1.1, which you probably don't have

Sounds a little bit like your Opera is configured to override our css with browser styles for the links ...

I just got off work and can't think straight right now, so I might be completely wrong, but I think that should be possible with just a few changes to style.css. Just give us some time to fix those bugs and finish the documentation and you'll see how easy that should be

(Hohum, at least I hope I'm not promising something which turns out to be impossible ...

)

In your IE the left sidebar header are made into little square boxes, but in mine they look like the FF screenshot. Which plugin are you using to get the + sign, I need to test this plugin on my PC.

Hrmpf. I guess what this theme really needs is a "Too cool for IE"-button

So just to get this straight: In Harald's IE, all sidebar plugins appear in the left sidebar? Doesn't sound like a css problem to me. Maybe we should have a look at the generated source of that page ...

@yellowled, something not quite right about Harald's error, although stm999999999 said he had a similar problem. I haven't been able to duplicate the problem on my PC so I'm stumped. Is anyone else able to verify that fault, and perhaps provide a list of plugins being used. I'm wondering if a spurious bug has appeared in the code generated by a plugin or within Serendipity itself. We have had extra </div>'s appear within the 1.1 tree in the last few weeks, and 1.1 is still beta. I think the first step is to establish the version of 1.1 that Harald and stm999999999 are using and the plugins they's using, then see if we can replicate the fault. At least that would tell us if this is a template fault or a Serendipity/plugin fault.

Thanks everyone for helping us with this project,

Carl

Hi Carl

first off congrats to both you and yellowled for a great piece of work.

On a mac in both firefox 1.5 and safari 2, all the colour-sets look and work fine.

In Opera 8.5 & Opera 9 (mac) the sidebar for the Caramel colour-set looks like

BTW - I think the blue / green colour-set looks excellent.

HTH

I didn't know about the colorsets, which are a cool option btw. I'm running 1.1 here on my dev system. It must definitely be an Opera override, though I still have no idea how to turn this off

Which reminds me that I once had a problem which I solved by changing the order of the plugins in the plugin configuration. Maybe that's a solution for Harald's problem with the (not) expanding boxes ..?

Thanks for the congrats, Dave

Ah, so we finally have a Mac user testing this

Hmm, so this looks as if .serendipitySideBarItem needs a width, right? Could you try to set it to 100% in caramel.css and see if that does the trick? Thanks.

Hmm, more coffee, more thoughts

stm9x9's problems sounds like there's something breaking the margins and/or widths of the columns. Might be a plugin we have not covered.

Another possibility: Maybe something somewhere in there messes up the cascade and overrides one of the IE hacks

Although I think you would (have) be(en) able to reproduce that on your machine. Then again, with IE you never know ...

Have a look at Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Content -> Style options. It should be somewhere in there, I think

YellowLed and Carl, i'm sorry to say it, but:

Even if i disable all Plugins (except Kalander and Search) the Boxes on the right side appear on the left side in IE6. Not in FF and not in Opera

So i guess it has something to do with the 3.1 theme. The 3.0 Theme works fine.

I now don't think, that we have to compare our plugins

That made the sidebar too wide so I tried setting .serendipitySideBarTitle to 95% and that seemed to do the trick in Opera and had no adverse effect in Safari or Firefox
