Comment on Magento – Adjust the HTML Body Class of your pages via Layout XML by sankho

sankho — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 06:30:23 +0000

Check the source code for the about us page – pages like htat should already be given a specific body class by Magento. It may have a class name that is a little long, ugly, and uninformative – but it’ll do for a quick CSS rule on an active state.

I wrote those post mainly for those trying to make a better class name or add onto the ones Magento builds.

Hey Max,

Sounds like you have something screwing up the way wordpress is entering data for file locations and such. Either something went wrong in your upgrade, or you have a plugin that’s not up to date to the upgrade and interfering.

I’d try disabling plugins (always a wordpress debugging first thing to do) and seeing if one of those is causing the issues.

If not – you may need to reinstall everything again . Backup what you’ve got.

Since upgrading to 2.9.2, I have serious problems uploading files OTHER THAN images. Images work fine, but when I upload anything else (PDF,TXT) the files get uploaded to the correct directory but wordpress is not able to display them in the media library! I searched the whole web but it seems that no one else has this problem.

All folders are 777, so it cannot be a permission-problem. Here’s a screenshot of my media library trying to show a pdf:
http://tinypic.com/r/t67xxy/6

The corresponding source code of the page looks like this:
http://tinypic.com/r/2rfd4l3/6

This is a serious issue, because I am not able to get a link to the uploaded files anymore. Of course I can create the links by myself (as I said: the files ARE THERE), but this is annoying as hell.

If any of you lot out there has any idea of how to fix this, please contact me via mail[AT]todamax[DOT]kicks-ass[DOT]net

Thanks.

Do you know if there is a way to add a body class to specific pages, for example the about us page.

I am actually trying to do something that outside of magento is very easy, that is to assign an active state to a menu button when selected.

I actually thought that styling it via the body tag might be one way of doing it.

Thanks
Lee

Finally a solution that works for this. All the other theories about conflicting plugins were inaccurate in my case. Thank you for taking the time to help us with this.

PHP_SELF should really not be used, it is vulnerable to XSS. Instead, SCRIPT_NAME should be used.

Comment on Stop wasting time debugging on IE8 when you don’t have to!, or, get IE8 to behave like IE7 by sankho

Thanks for the comment Pad. For my next post, I’ll show you the Meta tag that destroys IE6 completely! Wouldn’t that be a treat?

Cheers for this hint mate, just been having a mare with a layout because IE 8 is shite.

This new tag is my gospel.

Holy! That worked like a charm. I was considering doing something stupid, like opening up a gigantic hole for hackers, but your solution worked out like a charm. Thanks!

UPDATE: I’ve discovered a plugin culprit, for those in the situation where their upload directory was already set up like the one mentioned above.

Many other sites have pointed to PodPress. I didn’t have that plugin, but I did have another one mentioned — WP-Amazon 2.1 — and disabling that has restored image uploading, categories AND quick approval on comments.
