When i add the line

{vb:cssfile forumbits.css,forumhome.css,widgets.css,sidebar.cs s,options.css,tagcloud.css}

to WIKIFORUMHOME I get an error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Unable to find a class to validate: vB_TemplateParser_Curlycssfile' in /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/includes/class_template_parser.php:1083 Stack trace: #0 /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/includes/class_template_parser.php(1019): vB_TemplateParser->validate_curly(Object(vB_CurlyNode), Array) #1 /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(2863): vB_TemplateParser->validate(Array) #2 /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/admincp/template.php(2121): compile_template('??{vb:stylevar ...') #3 {main} thrown in /home/sylithr/public_html/GALACTICCONTROL.COM/includes/class_template_parser.php on line 1083

The other CSS elements in additional.css work fine though.

EDIT: I used the following code and it fixed the problem with the sidebar:

<vb:if condition="$vboptions['storecssasfile']">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}forumhome-rollup.css" />
<vb:else />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{vb:raw vbcsspath}forumbits.css,forumhome.css,tagcloud.css " />
</vb:if>

Now i just need ot get it working with VBa

@KrU$ty: Looking at GALACTICCONTROL.COM you are running VB4.0.3, so that might the problem. I'm running VB4.1.0pl2 and fixed the broken vbMediaWiki for that version.

.above_threadlist_controls ul {
	padding: {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2} 0;
	float: {vb:stylevar right};
	margin-{vb:stylevar right}: {vb:stylevar padding};

	padding: 0;
	padding-{vb:stylevar right}: {vb:math {vb:stylevar padding}/2};
	border: 0;
	padding-{vb:stylevar left}: 15px; /* based on icon size */
	display:block;
	_display:inline;
	float: {vb:stylevar left};
	clear: {vb:stylevar right};
}
.forumdisplaypopups li {

Where can I find the additional.css - file ?

[hollosch]

I have .htaccess-files in ../forum and ../wiki
I posted to both files "php_flag magic_quotes_gpc Off" in the top of the files and it doesn't work. what may be the problem ?

thx

[Daryn]

So are there any plans to update this with all the mentioned fixes?

The file isn't on the file system. It's a VB template. In the VB4 Admin Control Panel => Styles and Templates => Search in Templates for the "additional.css" file.
