Envision Theme for Blog Engine 1.6

Tuesday, 23 February 2010 01:04 by Jeff

Install : Download and unzip into your theme directory.

Changes made :
1) Make widgetzone amendments, replaced #widgetzone with .widgetzone
2) Added .widgetzone div#moveWidgetToContainer
3) Added #content .entry { word-wrap: break-word; }, found when posting some long unbroken lines of text. Firefox already worked. 4) Renamed the unzip directory from Envision 1.0 to Envision. The 1.0 caused a problem in one of the versions of Blog Engine I was testing and the 1.0 got dropped. 5) Removed unused gray Firefox graphic, it been there for a long time.

Envision.zip (26.23 kb)

Tested with the following browsers on Windows XP Pro SP3 :

FireFox 3.6
Opera 10.10
Internet Explorer 8.0.6001.18702
Google Chrome 5.0.322.2 dev
Apple Safari 4.0.4 (531.21.10)

Just an observation, since my last update every browser I have installed has moved on except IE8.
Must get my own Blog Engine 1.6 upgrade done soon.

Thumbnailer and Lightbox Reminder

Wednesday, 8 April 2009 04:38 by Jeff

This is really posted to remind me how to use the Thumbnailer and LightBox extensions now that René Kuss's website has vanished :(

Add the commands in the src attribute and hit save after you have uploaded an image.

Example :

[thumb:height=150,link=lightbox]

<img src="/image.axd?picture=2009%2f4%2fzembian-error-google-chrome1.jpg[thumb:height=150,link=lightbox]" alt="" />

See the post here to see this in action.

Envision 1.0 CSS Problems with Webkit Based Browsers

Wednesday, 8 April 2009 01:56 by Jeff

Problem

I updated the Envision 1.0 Theme to work with Blog Engine 1.4 it worked well except in browsers using the Webkit rendering engine (Google Chrome, Apple Safari etc.). It appeared that the title header was being inherited down across all css settings within the content div.

Solution

1) I checked out a piece of text that should not be green and bold, with a simple right-click and selecting inspect element within Google Chrome.

2) With Firebug installed in Firefox right click and inspect the same element for a comparison.

3) Knowing a little CSS (but not enough) I concluded that the font attributes set against the body tag were not being inherited properly with Google Chrome. I tried setting the attributes on each CSS class but eventually gave up when the background image against the title header jsut would not line up correctly in Firefox and Google Chrome at the same time.

Had Google Chrome and Apple Safari become the new Internet Explorer 6.0 ? In short - No.

4) Eventually I around to looking back at PostView.ascx and found the error. There was no closing </h2> tag for <h2 class="title"> there was a </h1>. Not sure if it was in the original or I put it there.

Firefox was actually closing off the <h2> automatically on the class line and Google Chrome was not and was ending the header declaration on a </h2> at the end on the posting block. 

There are possibly very good arguments as which rendering engine (Gecko or Webkit) got it right, at least the fix was simple.

BlogEngine.NET 1.4.5.0 Upgrade Implemented

Thursday, 18 December 2008 07:16 by Jeff

I finally got around to updating the site to BlogEngine 1.4.5.0 and using my own tweaked version of the Envision 1.0 theme. The theme is available to download for all here and seems to be working well so far. Edit : Just noticed theme is now in the BlogEngine Theme pack here.

Made a few school boy errors but nothing a backup before I started could not fix. Somehow the categories have been lost, fortunately the site isn't to big and a manual tweak will do.
