When I compress CSS on this template everything messes up and goes to just one column.  http://goo.gl/ttJrro

Hello,

Please patch your site with the latest vertex patch from our site and try enabling the compression again. If you have any 3rd party extensions you will want to disable these when testing compression. Certain extensions may not function when compressed.

I tried on my local server first and to apply the patch.  I went into template and click on About and it shows I am on Vertex 3.6  When I try to view the front end of the site it appends the url and adds the following /index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=67.  I've cleared the cache on both browser and Joomla.  I don't want to try this on live server until I know there won't be any problems.  Can you provide details on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am not sure what you mean in your last post. The /index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=67 part is for URLs that do not have SEF URL's enabled in the htaccess and global configuration of the site. This is most likely due to your local servers configuration but wouldn't have anything to do with patching Vertex.

Ok, I was able to get that issue worked out I think.  I am now having another issue:  Template XML file not found

I think I have fixed this issue.  I copied and pasted the Specific.xml file from original install to this vertex update install as I noticed that was different between the two.  Is that ok or did will this cause issues for me?


UPDATE:  Nevermind, that only made the backend template look right but my frontend is messed up for sure.   I cannot tell if this was from the update of vertex since I never could see that I only saw the message about xml not found.

Hello,

This means you did not patch the site correctly or removed a file. I would try re-downloading the patch and following the install Tutorial here:

http://www.shape5.com/documentation/Vertex-Framework/Joomla-Specific/How-To-Patch-Vertex-In-Joomla-and-Changelog

If its easier you can also remove the Template and reinstall it via the Extension Manager which should come with 3.6 by default.

Thank you for your support.  We were finally able to update to Vertex 3.7 however we are still have the issue with enabling CSS compression.  It messes up the styling.  See image.

Hello,

I took a look at that URL but am not seeing the issue illustrated in the screenshot. Have you fixed this or can you enable the issue so I can see it?

Can I send you a private message so you can log onto the site to change this setting when you are available to look at the issue?  Because the site is a working site, I don't want to change the CSS compression setting and leave it for x amount of time because it looks very bad.

Hello,

Sure I can take a look. Also note that if you have any 3rd party extensions or plugins enabled that aren't part of the Template you will need to disable these before I can test the compression.
