Hello Ben,

you write:

"I'm not seeing this issue so perhaps this has already been resolved."

I downloaded basic theme again.  If you open on Internet Explorer 7 >menu page.display source text

blog: http://transweb.dyndns.org/cs/blogs/simplegate/default.aspx

then i see this false code again ( when you use basic blog theme):

 

 

        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cs/Themes/default/style/screen.css" mce_href="/cs/Themes/default/style/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/cs/Themes/default/style/print.css" mce_href="/cs/Themes/default/style/print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />

  ............

 i think path should go to the basic path, no to the default theme path:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/cs/Themes/basic/style/screen.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/cs/Themes/basic/style/print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />
 

because ... i want change screen.css and print.css from basic style only ( Themes/basic/style/screen.css ). Actual change has no effects on the blog page because Internet Explorer open initial CSS style from default/style/screen.css

To use the basic blog theme, you must be using the basic site theme as well -- because your site does not use the basic blog theme (but instead a variation on the default theme), this issue occurs.

"you must be using the basic site theme as well" 

hmm.. for myself, this is not perfect Wink . As webdesigner on this way it is not to handle with screen.css for basic blog only ( because this Dependence).

If you update web/themes/basic/common/master.master and update the <CSControl:ThemeStyle /> controls to instead use <CSControl:Style /> controls (updating the URLs to be relative to the application root, such as changing "~/style/screen.css" to "~/themes/basic/style/screen.css"), you will be able to use the blog theme independently of the site theme.

aha Smile very good , is this working within the next version of Community Server as standard?

As Webdesigner i do not like change any delivered Controls. For me, Controls from the Community Server Team must have black box character.

Design and Programming is a different part for me. I will not change any official release because risks of service after any update of CS.

Was the Basic theme supposed to be included with CS2007.1 ?

I've downloaded the SDK and the web install versions and niether include the Basic theme.

Hi davelee,

No, the Basic theme is still a separate download...for now.

One is glad to be of service...

Ah.. ok.  I was confused as the 2007.1 release notes say, "Added Basic site and blog theme"

EDIT: My bad.. it IS in the SDK.  But still don't see cp/profile options to select it.  Is there a config to enable that I'm missing?

Erik P. Ernst:

I have downloaded and installed the theme, but it's not showing up in my config panel. What is wrong?

Ditto.  What am I missing?  Theme Options only presents default in dropdown and checkboxes.

During the build process on the 27th of August I somehow let the basic theme slip into the SDK.  However, the theme is missing its theme.config so you will need to add this into your basic theme folder.  You can download the basic theme as a separate download at http://communityserver.org/files/folders/themes/entry591715.aspx and copy its contents over your current basic theme and the issue should be resolved.

 

Thanks,
