    SOLVED Gantry 4 CSS affecting EasyBlog users...

    Posted 12 years 2 months ago
    • There seems to be some CSS in Gantry 4 which is making EasyBlog unusable by obliterating it's user menus... (EB is of course a 3rd party product - nothing to do with Rockettheme I know - but I thought I should report it)

      I'm told the Gantry CSS causing this is.... i{background-image:url("") !important;

      What would be the implications on Gantry functioning of removing this so that EasyBlog works? or is there any tweak to this that could be considered by the Gantry team?

      You can see the issue reported and replied to here:

    • Hi Igor,

      At the moment I'm using the standard Gantry 4.0.4 template.

      You'd need to login to my site (basic user account is login 'rocket' and pw 'theme' to see the problem at: www.caymanactive.com/publish/dashboard/write

      There you'll see the blue EasyBlog navigation bar which normally contains all sorts of icons for the user - but with the RT template applied it's empty.

    • try to disable css code compression (RokBooster?) ...
      I have a feeling that the path to the background image gets corrupted in the eprocess of compression.

    • Haven't got RokBooster installed (never had much luck with that) - I just turned off the LESS Compiler in the Gantry template - but still no difference. Cleaned cache and refreshed browser etc.....

    • check if if you have something else installed that is compressing code.
      You can't turn off the LESS compiler.
      You can stop the code compression of the Less compiler. But that has nothing to do with your issue.

    • open

      /templates/gantry/less/mixins/rockettheme/mixins.less
      and remove this line
      @import "icons.less";

      or remove the content in the icons.less file:
      i {
      background-image: url("@{iconSpritePath}") !important;
      background-repeat: no-repeat;
      background-position: 16px 16px; // reset of default position from 0 0 to a transparent location, out of the sprite
      vertical-align: text-top;
      font-style: normal;
      display: inline-block;
      .square(16px);
      .ie7-restore-right-whitespace();
      }

      Good idea to switch on debug header in the template settings and to hit the clear less cache button now. And of course clear the cache of your browser. If that doesn't help:
      Remove the master-xyz.css file in the compiled-css folder.
