Hello Paul,

Unfortunately, since yesterday, I cannot access to your site (connection time too long).

Am I alone in this case ?

Cheers !

Thanks Radjesh Klauke for the info.

It doesn't work either, as if my IP was blocked by the hoster... Every other site is accessible without any trouble.

Hum...

@crochpattes,

No problems with the site as far as I can tell. Email me separately if you are still experiencing problems. I guess it is possible your IP has been blocked - it's a super sensitive server set up. Drop me a line so I can forward it to my engineers in Denver.

@Radesh,

What's weird? Ditto re emailing me :)

Hi Paul,

Yes, it might be an oversensitivity little issue. I'll get to u by email.

I assume that Radesh was talking about my situation which is weird, not your extension :D

Yup, your IP was blocked. It's been cleared now. So no more attempts to hack in to the site and you'll be ok! ;)

20/02/12 : Image Content and CSS file now published to the /ism folder.

You may need to re-link any images if you open a project that uses an earlier version of this extension. Earlier versions of this extension required the published images to be moved to the /images folder. Now all images are all automatically published to the /ism folder.

Version 1.0.11 now available.

Modified HTML and JS to ensure that Sticky Layers will work when used in conjunction with this extension.

Many thanks to RZ and Jordon for helping with this issue! :P

sindrehaugen,

You appear to have specified the same image for both the "Under Image of tab menu" and for "Over Image of tab menu". These images are used for the navigation so if you want TEXT you need to create the images with text in them; the extension doesn't create text for this part of the menu - text is only placed in the upper part of the extension.

Code: Select all

ul#ISM-tabs a {
    background-image: url("./ism/tabmenuunder.jpg");
    height: 100px;
    width: 117px;
}
ul#ISM-tabs a:hover, ul#ISM-tabs li.selected a {
    background-image: url("./ism/tabmenuunder.jpg");
    height: 100px;
    width: 117px;
}
Go back into the extension and specify a different image for the OVER part. Also the images you have specified are too small at 100x117. They should be the same width as the main swap images.

Might help if you read the help file again.

Re: Image Swap Menu (free) -- PROBLEM -- HELP NEEDED --

Post by Adendum »

Hi people,

I have had a support email for Image Swap Menu that has kinda thrown me as I can't work out where the problem is. This extension hasn't changed for several months, so I am beginning to lean towards the changes in WWB that may be contributing to the issue. Whatever the issue I can't figure it out so I am putting out a call to all you extension gurus and Pablo.

The problem: :!:
When hovering over the lower set of images the upper image is meant to change (swap!) but it may only swap out images in inconsistent circumstances. The original support email suggested "This menu only functions correctly if I come from a link on a web site or type it in directly. If I use a bookmark the images don't swap." but I have found that the problem extends further than that.

I have recreated the demo page several times with nothing but the extension in play to ensure there are no conflicts and the same issue occurs. Unfortunately all local publishes and preview work perfectly and the problem is only seen when you upload files to the server (a clue maybe?).

Another clue is that my old site from 2-3 years ago uses this extension and it all works perfectly. Take a look at the old site here.

Of course this old site shows that it's using jQuery 1.6.4, whereas the new site uses 1.7.2. So I created another version of the demo that uses 1.6.4 (seen here) but that made no difference.

So I'm stumped ... anyone got any ideas? :shock:

Hi Paul,

Hope you're fine :D

Well, at first sight I would say that you're facing an images path trouble in the generated CSS.

But I didn't have time to go deeper, even if it smells this kind of problem.

Cheers!

Pascal,

Bon soir mon amie! I am fine thanks..just confused!!!

That was my first thought but if I look at the published demo page and use Firebug to check the css all the images have correct urls and hovering in the css shows all of them.

So it's not CSS...must be......????

Hi Paul ok I havent installed the extension as of yet to check if I may be right or wrong. Some time ago a member was using one of my extension and it wasnt working as it should, now for the life of me I couldnt figure it out, I then relized what may be wrong, so I asked them to check if they had checked any of the following in Tools>Options>HTML>Generate external css,Generate single css or Optimize inline styles and if memory serves me correct the had checked Optimise inline style checked once unchecked the extension worked as normal....I may or may not be correct but it worth asking or trying this and see the outcome.

Hi Calum,

My settings have been the same since day 1 of using WWB. I have "Generate single CSS style sheet for global styles" checked and the "page specific styles" and "optimise" are both unchecked.

I did just upload three 'versions' using different WWB HTML settings but there was no change.

What's worse is I just made four visits to the page using Chrome. I cleared the cache each time. 1st visit, no swap, 2nd visit images swapped, 3rd visit images swapped, 4th visit no swap. FFS!

And again - if I preview locally everything is perfect. If I publish locally everything is perfect. I also deleted the entire folder from the server an manually uploaded the folder and files from a clean and apparently working publish....but hey ho...nada!

Doesn't make sense...........:(

Hi Paul,

From my side, I made the following test: grab your page on my local disk with HTTrack Website Copier, and it works perfectly :roll:

However, did you try to remove all the things that don't belong to the image swap menu, keeping only the jQuery library and the ISM js?
I'm thinking of some kind of jQuery conflict that would be enabled online.

Cheers!

EDIT: http://www.aditerum.co.uk/demo/ISM/gatag.js - When disabled, the ISM works online, enabled again, the trouble is back. Hope this can help... 8)

Pascal,

Apologies for the long delay....I've had a nightmare 12 days, C: drive failure, multiple formats and re-installs and eventually a new hard disk and the challenge of formatting a disk with no operating system...and then a re-install of OS and everything. Painful!

Anyway I am finally back up and running and had a look at this post - and YES that did help!

By moving the GA code from between the <head> to the end of page the problem evaporates. I still can't work out why that should make a difference and/or why it used to be OK. But moving it works.

Any insights as to why this happend would be of interest.

:)

Hi Paul,

Glad this period has ended and the puzzling page could now work :D

About your question, I don't know the GA script but maybe some have left similar troubles on the web...

Anyway, take care!

Pascal,

Yeah you do know the GA code..... Google Analytics code.

My nightmare hasn't ended after all... had a few odd thing happen (task bar wouldn't unlock, start menu item dissapeared and so on) .. so ran sfc /scannow in an admin dos window and I have numerous corrupt files. So I've ordered a new OS and will begin the reformat and re-install process all over again in a couple of days...deep joy!
