Okay, I have tried to read several threads on customizing the templates, but need some real simple language here. I do my website layout in GoLive and am not real adept at CSS. I was able to do okay with my login page http://www.marketingyoursmallbiz.com/amember/login.php Where I am really having the problem is with the sign up page. http://www.marketingyoursmallbiz.com/amember/signup.php You will see how screwed up it looks. Would like it to fit the page better. I was able to edit the login.html in Golive, but can't do the signup.html. Does anyone have some simple suggestions or instructions. I am pulling my hair out over hours and hours of trying to figure this out.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="%7b$config.root_surl%7d/templates/css/amember.css" /> Is not valid code. %7b$config.root_surl%7d should be {$config.root_surl} and gets made into http://www.marketingyoursmallbiz.com/amember. A big problem with using most WYSIWG editors is that they eat up the smarty code that amember uses. Looks like that happened on your site. I usually use a text based editor like HTML-Kit. David
Not real sure what you are telling me here besides the fact that I cannot do this in GoLive. Sorry for my ignorance!
aMember uses a templating system called Smarty. The signup page, unlike the login page, uses Smarty. {$config.root_surl} is an example of smarty code. Notice the braces around the variable name? Go live does not understand what Smarty is or what to do with it. It assumes you are trying to put that actual content in your web page and tries to format it, converting { to %7, etc. To David's point, either disabling automating within GoLive (if possible?) or using an editor that is not so flamboyant in it's desire to change your content for you, would be advised.
Thanks, that does make sense to me. I'm not sure what editor to use at this point, but will see what I can do, as I am on Mac.
Again, thanks to both of you. And I found that Dreamweaver doesn't screw it up. So now i finally get it!
Jodarl, Do you have a link to what you are referring to? Was there customizations done to the site in question? I use 3.08 - 3.14 on a number of sites and have no issues with FF 2 - 3.1.
