Cant save changes in style manager

[mart29]

Ok, just done a new install of vbulletin. Everything else appears to work, i can add forums make changes and so on. except anything in the sytle manager.

I have tried changing colour and table width etc. all things ive done before but on this install none of it will save. when i press save it takes me to a view of the forum from a users persepctive. nothing changed and then when i go back to style manager its back to the default settings.

Its a new install, fresh download of the latest version and appears to only affect the style manager.
i have tried wiping out the database and everything and doing it all again. still doesnt work.

any ideas?

Are they stored in the file system? Try moving them out of the file system and then back in _ vboptions > Style & Language Settings > Store CSS Stylesheets as Files?

[mart29]

thanks for your reply, just tried that and hasnt worked unfortunately.

If you view the source code, is the css in there or is it just a link to a file?

[mart29]

there is a file in there called index.htm

if i pm you my admin username and password do you think you could have a look quickly?
see if you can make it work?

[Lynne]

I can try, but.....

Are you keeping the css as files? Cuz if so, and all that is in the clientscript/vbulletin_css folder is an index.htm file, then it sounds like you need to set the permissions for that folder to 777. Try that and then see if it works. (That is something you can only do through ftp - not through your admin cp.)

[mart29]

ok its definately set to 777 just checked.
ill pm you. thanks

the resolution is sort of in here

i had to contact my hosting provider to sort the problem for me, which they did by me showing them that thread, they seemed to know what to do and now it works fine, just for future ref if anyone should have the same problem, show them that link.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but have exactly the same problem. We had a server crash last week and we moved to a better machine after restoring the site from a nightly backup.

The problem is that I cannot save my templates and any mod which has a large textarea field does not save, as it displays a blank page after hitting Save.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue?

Thanks.

Hi Lynne, please can you explain me better this???

but still doesn't appear the save buttons in the tables of the CSS section.
Also for the default style there aren't no save buttons....

Please don't bump old posts, start your own topic for support.

[Lynne]

To add to what Zachery said, also make sure you post in the correct forum for your version of the software. This is the vB3 section.

[markoroots]

Ohh sorry guys.
Can you please move it in the right section??
I'm a newbie.. ;)

[Lynne]

You need to start your own thread in the correct section. This thread is in the correct section for the original poster.

[markoroots]

Ok Lynne. ;)
