something wrong in my menu and homepage

alarius · 2012-07-24 14:30:57

so simple… sorry!
Default section is the one I set as homepage, so I have not to create a section for homepage!
or, better, I do it just to have the homepage article not in the articles section

still something I can’t understand at this time… all my sections’ pages uses the same form called “footer” to output the footer of the site, but I see it changing between the homepage or a single artcle page, and the list of articles produced by the left-side menu.
So I understand the problem is on the menu form, but I can not see where (it seems that the only thing changin is the bolded text in the footer when the site is listing articles, and normal text when the page is single article.
I’m using <txp:category_list parent="articles" exclude="articles" /> but in the sidebar form, so what is happening to the footer?

Please post the contents of all of the relevant forms here.

alarius · 2012-07-25 15:27:16

well, I have in my page

<div id="sidebar-1"> <txp:output_form form="articles" /> </div> <div id="footer"> <txp:output_form form="footer" /> </div>

the artcle form is

<txp:category_list parent="articles" exclude="articles" />

the footer form is

some text </br> <txp:link_to_home>Homepage</txp:link_to_home> </br> some other text

It should be some text <br /> <txp:link_to_home>Homepage</txp:link_to_home> <br /> some other text

also: what happens if you add <txp:category_list section="default" parent="articles" exclude="articles" />?

I tried your first tip but </br> and <br /> seems to have the same behaviour.
Perhaps the firs one is html tag and the second is specific txp tag.
I tried the second tip too; both your and my category_list tags output the same list,
with the same problem on the footer, that is:
normal footer in article pages and in homepage
bolded footer in the list generated by the category_list tag.
Well, where else could the problem be?

edit: I notice now that the problem appens with Explorer, but not appens using Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari
new edit: I see that the category_list result uses the “homepage” page (that is on the “dafault” section), perhaps changing with the “articles” page could change something, but I’ve not understand how assign a different page to that result

{Edited to add bc. for better code display. – Uli}

Re your forum code display: Open a code block with bc. (note the blank at the end). Each empty line cancels the code display then.
If you need to post code with blank lines in it, use bc.. (two dots + blank space). You end this with an empty line followed by a block level element in Textile like p. , h1. etc. (always a blank after the dot).

Isn’t your problem about CSS? Then we’d also need the stylesheet.
