Issuse with template on different servers...

[adamadamadam]

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask for help on this.

Recently I have been working on a forum from a dev server, located here:
http://polycount.madewithscience.com/boards/

I had it to a point to where I'd like it to go live so I moved it to our live server, located here:
http://beta.polycount.net/index.php?styleid=24

I copied all of the files over to the live server and they mimic their locations perfectly when compared to the dev server. And to get the template/style on I used vBulletins "Download / Upload Style" option and used that XML on my live server.

If you check out the dev server VS. the live server you'll notice a difference in how the forum/forum groups are displayed. On the dev server, they are kept in a cell that has a dark grey background. However, on the live server they're displayed independently.

(In fact, the only reason those cell's are 1024x wide is because I updated the templates "additional CSS" to bump those cell's side boards in. This way, temporarily, the width of those cells matches the width of the header footer.)

What I'd like is for the live server to reflect the dev server perfectly. I'd like the forum/forum groups to be displayed like they are on a dev server.

To better explain, I did a quick draw-over. The orange outline on the LIVE page is to show how the header's cell just stops where as on the right the contents of the entire forum are all within one major cell.:


Anyone with some help on this, so that I can make the live have all of the forum contents collected in a cell/cells just like the dev server has it that'd be really appreciated.

Thank you very much!

I'm using firefox and just looked at your sites and neither of the links look like the pictures. Have you been changing things since you posted this?

[adamadamadam]

Oh sorry - if they don't you need to change the theme to "Polycount 2.0" at the bottom.

I'll go in now and make sure those are the default themes the forum is loaded with.

Thanks for the headsup :P

EDIT: I fixed the boards so that the proper style was the one loaded by default. Check it out now. Thanks Lynne :P

You have these extra lines being put into your live site under the Welcome message:

<tr><td class="cat_bottom"  style="line-height: 0px; padding: 0px; margin: 0px;" colspan="5"><img src="clear.gif" alt="" width="1" height="8" /></td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<div class="cat_spacer"></div>

They are ending your table early for you. They show up right under "<!-- / guest welcome message -->" You should check your FORUMHOME template and try commenting it out and see if that fixes the problem.

I actually searched all my templates for that code and it didn't show me anything :\

Hmm, if I remove the $forumbits code just above the quoted code you gave me, the cell's come back but all the forums are missing.

If things are working on your dev site 100% i suggest attempting to export everything again, different hosts shouldn't effect the CSS/html code at all
