Ok reporting back. I double checked all of my edits and I found 4 of them were merged so I fixed but results still the same

I would suggest starting with a totally new file and redoing the file edits. Only this time, make sure you put the code on their own lines and not merge lines at all.

I pulled the changes out from the code it self and added it in it's correct line since a couple things changed since then..this worked up till 4.1.6 then 4.1.7 it will no longer work..
the edits where perfect.. did it 2 times to make sure , used compareit..
when you click on the style manager in the admincp you just get a blank screen :(

code used ..
and the large chunk of code above
any help with this would be great
thanks for sharing this great mod lynne

I just went through and modified my template.php file for 4.1.7 using the instructions in post 1 and it is working just fine on my site. I am getting no blank screens. I'd suggest you check your error_logs.

yep I should of though of that ..
this is the error
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /public_html/testvb/admincp/template.php on line 2224,
line 2224 is
this is under 3 lines under the first edit..
this line was not even touched

my bad I see where I went wrong...

Glad you got it figured out. :)

thanks you for providing this for everyone..
should be default with vb..

I don't know what I was thinking when I was editing that file..
I been fixing so much broken stuff these past few days.. I need a break to get back on track..

once again
your efforts and support are very much appreciated..

Sweet!

Hi Lynne
this was driving me crazy today

after checking over and over my edits .. I realized this was not a edit issue it was a IE9 issue..
I checked in ff and worked like it should..

whats happening is everytime you mouse over a style var in the template the space between the 2 boxes grow

I attached a couple screen shots so you can see what I mean..

thanks
