    • Tiki Wiki 27.0 - "Skip to main content" button on top of the website / no objects in categories

    Posted by Marcus posts: 20 Germany

    Hey everyone,

    I've recently tried to upgrade Tiki 24.6 LTS to Tiki 27.0 LTS and ran into two issues:

    IIS
    PHP 8.3.9
    MySQL 8.0.38 CE

    1. On the top of my Tiki website there's a "Skip to main content" button. When I click on it, nothing happens, only a #col1 appears on the end of the URL.
    Is there a way to remove the button? It doesn't seem to be related to the theme, because I tried different themes and it was still there.

    2. I can't see any objects in my categories.
    I can see the number of objects, but in the categories there is just a "No records found." message.
    In 24.6 everything is fine...

    Thanks!

    Hi Marcus,

    About the "Skip to main content" button, this button normally isn't visible. It has "position: absolute; top: -100px;" CSS properties that usually move it up out of the visible page area, as is the case for example at this tiki.org page. Apparently, there's something interfering with or counteracting that CSS if the button is visible and can be clicked on.

    For background, the button is an accessibility aid to help people with impaired vision who are using a screen-reader and are navigating by keyboard, so they can get directly to the page's main content without having to tab through all the links in the page header, etc. It may not seem to be doing anything, from a visual perspective, but does make a difference for keyboard navigation.

    I've noticed the button being visible sometimes when there's some extra CSS padding on the page, for example, that counteracts the -100px positioning of the button, pushing it down into view. Does your site have anything unusual like this at the top of the page?

    (Sorry, I don't know offhand about the category objects problem.)

    Hey Gary,

    thank you for the reply and the tip! 😊
    When I updated Tiki to 27.0, I copied the old tiki_base.css, because I changed some values to display a custom text module in the center.

    I changed it back to the new tiki_base.css and the button disappeared.

    Maybe the missing objects are related to something like this too.
    I'll look into it...

    No, at least I don't have one.
    I'm waiting for an update for now and stay at 24.6 LTS.
