Sticky Records

cozbaldwin · Post by **cozbaldwin** » Mon Jul 27, 2009 3:33 am

Hello,

After upgrading to 2.5 Final, I see there's been some template changes. As you may know, I customize the hell out of the templates. I am pretty sure I updated all the headers and elements, tags, etc... but I'm having issues with the Sticky Records box.

The thing that's messing it up is this unusual tag, along with it's closing tag: [stickyRecordsList]
When I take out that whole tag, with the list items, the page loads properly. But when I put that in, my page loads funny. It strips out all the middle of my page, plus a little bit of my footers. Any idea why this is happening? I thought it updated all the necessary, usual files. The square bracket is new, so maybe that is playing a part in it?

HI,

could you please post your template file with the sticky records stuff here?

Its currently producing this result: http://www.hiddeninthesand.com/faq/
Without the Stickys tag, it loads fully, though.

By the way, I've only tried viewing it with FF 3.5 and Safari 4.0.2 on Mac.
Its strange, it seems like it loads the header and half of the footer. Nothing in between... almost as if I have some inproper div tags but I dont think so, because it works fine except when using that solid bracket [ ] tag.

Hi,

your embedded JavaScript is broken.

Thanks for taking the time to look.
I know this isn't your job, but could you point me in the direction of the specific broken code? Since it works on all other pages, I can't locate where the trouble may be.

Hi,

Firebug, a Firefox extension shows various problems:

Code: Select all

Spry is not defined

Thanks - well, just so you know, the scripts that are ultimately causing this and not playing well with your code is a script direct from Google.

It's for their Google Friend Connect login

Code: Select all

		<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/script/friendconnect.js"></script>
			<!-- Define the div tag where the gadget will be inserted. -->
			<div id="div-6946308635660999705" style="width:282px;"></div>
			<!-- Render the gadget into a div. -->
			<script type="text/javascript">
		    var skin = {};
			skin['FONT_FAMILY'] = 'trebuchet ms,sans-serif';
			skin['BORDER_COLOR'] = 'transparent';
			skin['ENDCAP_BG_COLOR'] = 'transparent';
			skin['ENDCAP_TEXT_COLOR'] = '#333333';
			skin['ENDCAP_LINK_COLOR'] = '#0000cc';
			skin['ALTERNATE_BG_COLOR'] = 'transparent';
			skin['CONTENT_BG_COLOR'] = 'transparent';
			skin['CONTENT_LINK_COLOR'] = '#cccccc';
			skin['CONTENT_TEXT_COLOR'] = '#333333';
			skin['CONTENT_SECONDARY_LINK_COLOR'] = '#cccccc';
			skin['CONTENT_SECONDARY_TEXT_COLOR'] = '#666666';
			skin['CONTENT_HEADLINE_COLOR'] = '#333333';
			skin['ALIGNMENT'] = 'left';
			google.friendconnect.container.setParentUrl('/' /* location of rpc_relay.html and canvas.html */);
			google.friendconnect.container.renderSignInGadget(
			 { id: 'div-6946308635660999705',
			   site: '15614757545697516350' },
			  skin);
			</script>

I see in Firebug that it is causing a lot of errors, specifically

"onreadystatechange FAILS Error: Permission denied for <http://iqavu79a908u5vcecp0pq80hhbhkv33b ... odules.com> to create wrapper for object of class UnnamedClass"

But, since it works well in all my other pages on my site, but not with the faq sticky tag code, I figure you may want to look into it. Or not, since not a lot of people are using this Google code.

Post by **Thorsten** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 6:35 pm

Hi,

please take a look into your current HTML source code. Something is broken in it:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript">
			// var skin = {};
			skin
                </ul>

This breaks the page.

bye
Thorsten

That's some more Google FriendConnect code, direct from Google.
It also works like a charm when I don't have the Sticky Records tags in there.

cozbaldwin · Post by **cozbaldwin** » Tue Jul 28, 2009 7:08 pm

One more glitch...

In my own footer, i use the following:

a project of [ The Carpeted Wall ]

(except I use HTML and not BBCode of course)

But because I'm using those flat brackets (for aesthetic purposes only), they weren't displaying and neither was the link inside. So it seems anywhere, at least on the index.tpl page, if you have brackets for any reason, theyre going to disappear.

All of MY problems, at least, seem to be related to these new flat brackets you're using in the Sticky Records tag. What was the reason for this new type of tag? Is it necessary? (i'm not trying to be a pain, i really am curious.)

Hi,
