UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications V6 Mod Ideas stylesheet problem

I run a TEST user.
I havn't used that one for ages.
In the meantime the stylesheets got renamed.

Today I logged in with the test user.
ANd got a 404 error with NEtscape: - stylesheet not found.
(IE displayed a page: without any stylesheet, but at
least without that stupid 404).

I checked: for the TEST user the name of the stylesheet set was outdated. But instead of a 404 error i would prefer that the default stylesheet would be displayed if the chosen one is not found.

I think that shoud be easy to fix?

I been down this road before...

In your ubbt.inc.php script find this:

code:

      if (!$fstyle) {
        $fstyle = $user['U_StyleSheet'];
         if ( (!$fstyle) || ($fstyle == "usedefault") ) {
           $fstyle = $theme['stylesheet'];
         }
      }

---

and change it to this:

code:

      if (!$fstyle) {
        $fstyle = $user['U_StyleSheet'];
         if ( (!$fstyle) || ($fstyle == "usedefault") ) {
           $fstyle = $theme['stylesheet'];
         }
      }
      if (!file_exists("{$config['stylepath']}/$fstyle.css")) {
         $fstyle = $theme['stylesheet'];
      }

---

That should do the trick.

Cool! Thanks!

I'm going to move this thread into the Modifications Suggestions. Not sure about adding this fix into the main distro just because for every page generated it would need to do a file check. Probably eventually need some type of admin tool to verify everyone's stylesheet settings after a stylesheet has been removed/renamed, so it updates all outdated ones.

I was hesitant for the same reasons, being every page needing a file check (one more disk access).

Rick, perhaps a check during login? When a user logs in and their settings are being applied have a check and if the stylesheet isn't there have it set to default in the database.


Edit Note: On second thought, better off as an admin tool. Large sites will not want that many file checks running when users are logging in and out. Much better off as an admin tool when updating stylesheets.
