    • Left and Right Sidebars Slammed to Bottom of All Pages Upon Upgrade to 3.

    Posted by govnor
    I Upgraded ModernSciFi.com to version 3.0 last night and BOTH my left and right sidebars are pushed to the bottom left of all pages. After hours of searching, I did not find a setting to change this. Where should I look for setting changes for this issue? Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

    Sorry that you didn't see the information on this. It's in the docs at http://doc.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Upgrade+2.x+to+3.xQuestion (can be found with a google search of "site:doc.tikiwiki.org upgrade", etc.). I just edited the Tiki 3 release news article to make this information more prominent.

    Anyway, some of the default templates were changed for Tiki 3 and themes that used those templates (such as the Boreal theme you're using) will not display correctly in Tiki 3, exhibiting the problem you described and others.

    The solution is to use a Tiki 3-compatible theme or modify the old theme to be compatible. Please see http://themes.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Theme+Issues+when+Updating+to+Tiki3.0Question. For a quick fix, I'd suggest switching to one of the bundled themes, or installing a Tiki 3-compatible theme listed on http://themes.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=Themes_for_Tiki_3Question.

    Also, be sure to remove old templates in theme template directories. This is also described in the theme update instructions. It looks like your site may be using Tiki2-version template files in templates/styles/darkroom. That directory should only contain credits.tpl and an index.php file. Unlike in Tiki 2, Darkroom otherwise now uses the default template files.

    Thank you for your assistance chibaguy.
    Will I be in trouble if I also delete everything in the /MyWebsite/styles/theme folder as well?

    /MyWebsite/styles/theme should contain background image files and so on used by a theme (named "theme" in this example). There's no need to delete anything in that folder.
