Having trouble with site title

posts: 138

Hi,

I am trying to update my home page from Tiki v2.2 to v8.1 and port my style to the new version.

Previously, I had sitetitle and sitesubtitle hard coded into tiki-top_bar.tpl, which I figure isn't the best way (since the file doesn't exist anymoresmile).

Instead I have defined title and subtitle on the look and feel page. However, they only appear when the user is logged in. Am I missing something?

Is this related to the warning "Will be obsolete in Tiki 8 and migrated to modules entirely"?

In Tiki 8.1, the site title and subtitle are displayed via a module, so you should check on tiki-admin_modules.php that the "logo" module doesn't have "group" specified as "registered", which would prevent anonymous users from seeing it.

If that is OK, it's possible that a session cookie could be blocking the visibility. You could try checking your site in another browser that hasn't been used in a while, or try clearing session-related cookies from your regular browser, using its cookie manager.

The migration of site title and subtitle to the admin modules page isn't complete, as of Tiki 8.1, so that isn't a factor yet.

Magically, it is working today, although I have not changed anything. I'm not sure about the cookie question, but it was not a problem with the group.

The Logo module was definitely displayed. The logo (image) was present. I inspected the code with Firebug and I think there was an empty link for title. It looked to me as if the PHP variable was not initialised.

Thanks for the reply.

I'm sure that I will be having more questions in the next few days.
