Comment on Webfaction, seriously, I love you by Brendan

Brendan — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:59:04 +0000

I think an important thing to point out about webfaction is that it might be a perfectly fine host for a client who needs a blog or website and might never think about their host, but where it really shines is being a staging/mockup/proof of concept server for web developers.

I am constantly launching new websites on my webfaction plan to try out new stuff. You can install WordPress, Drupal and Joomla from their installers, which wouldn’t be too hard to do yourself, but you can also install Rails or Django or Zope. Every try to get those working on your local dev box?

Comment on The difference between a working tree, repository, branch, and checkout in the Bazaar version control system by Teemu

Thank you so much for explaning this. It is an old post, and it really amazes me that Bazaar docs are not as clear as this. They could really learn from this, as have I.

Comment on WP E-Commerce 3.8 and Thematic = no sidebars! by Jerome

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

Actually i’m pretty i know what wrong, i just don’t know how to fix it

The Product pages take on the ‘default template’ for the page attribute, whereas all my other pages are set to the ‘sidebar template’. I find no options of choosing what page template to set the product pages. From my understanding they should inherit the page template of ‘Products page’ but no..

I will try meddling around with the css and see what i can do, or if anybody knows how to target page templates directly ?

Thanks

@jerome: If you can see the sidebar but it’s not in the right place then you probably have a CSS issue. I’m not that familiar with TwentyEleven, but typically the main content area and the sidebar are both floated left. If the width of those elements together is greater than the container element, the last element will drop below. Try inspecting the element in Firebug and adjusting the width of the sidebar until both areas float side by side.

If that doesn’t work, WP-Ecommerce may have added an extra element or a clear: both rule to an element, which you would have to override in your own CSS file.

Hi,
I’m having the same problem with the TwentyEleven theme. The ‘Products Page’ is fine, but all the individual product pages have the right sidebar shoved down at the bottom.

I’ve looked at most forums on the matter, specifically this: http://getshopped.org/forums/topic/sidebar-not-showing-in-the-2011-theme/

But not much luck, maybe i’m just doing it wrong ? i’ve added after the primary div closure.

Would your fix for Thematic be applicable to TwentyEleven too ?

Thanks for any help

Thank you! This did, indeed, save my day. (Partially. Now to fix the PayPal errors…)

NEVER, I say NEVER, take over a project abandoned by someone else…

You would have to use FTP (or better yet SSH) if your installation is on a remote server.
