Artisteer 3.0 styles not the same after installing

Hi,

I just upgraded my Artisteer to 3.0 and I'm experiencing a couple of issues I hope you can guide me out of!

  1. I created a new folder for the design (..\1\skins\myWebDesign\...) 
  2. I copied the files, (artisteer-30verticalmenu2 as it seems to be the best fit (absolute top menu)) except for the images folder, to this folder
  3. I created a new design in artisteer 3.0 and exported the HTML to a temp folder
  4. I copied the files for the new design to the \myWebDesign\ folder
  5. Opened the user.config file and added the following 2 lines at the end... then saved it
    <add key="CacheCssOnServer" value="false" />
    <add key="CacheCssInBrowser" value="false" />
  6. Opened the web.config file and added a couple of blank lines at the end.. then saved it

My problem is that some pages (single column) look fine while other all others (2 or 3 column) seem to have the column definitions all messed up(pushed to the left with a blank right column!!!  (my site is www.yachtlogsoftware.com ).  I am testing this on my localhost and get the same results.

In artisteer I defined the Layout|Columns as 2 (right column @ 15%).  I also tried the 3 column layout but that was worse.  Also a 1 column and that was exactly the same as the 2 column version.

Is there some trick to using 3.0 as I do not recollect this type of issue with the older version of artisteer?

Re: Artisteer 3.0 styles not the same after installing

When you copy artisteer-30verticalmenu, you need to copy it from /Data/skins not from /Data/Sites/1/skins.

The only skins that are up to date are the ones in /Data/skins we don't touch any other skins on upgrade.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Hi Joe,

Not sure if this is related to my original issue so hear goes...

On the blog page I have the twitter profile/search widgets on the right column...

The column is only half the width needed... How or where do I go to adjust for this?

I tried in the twitter profile/search tools column width and lowered it to 150, then 100, then 10 but no change on the page????

Thanks

Okay,

I figured it out... I need to not only change the column width on the widget but also the style sheet columns
