Site Identity Posted by BillMac Thu 06 Sep, 2007 20:22 GMT-0000 posts: 9 ☆ ☆ ☆ Use this thread to discuss the page:: Site Identity
Posted by BillMac Thu 06 Sep, 2007 20:28 GMT-0000 posts: 9 ☆ ☆ ☆ I am using TW 1.9.7. I may have exceeded the 250 character limit on the Site Identity creation screen. Now, when I log in with admin authority, the pages only load to the line div id="sitehead" resulting in a blank screen. When logged in as a regular user or as anonymous, I get full pages. I cannot manage the site at this point. Help would be greatly appreciated. Bill MacKenzie billmac14 at verizon.net

Posted by BillMac Fri 07 Sep, 2007 02:41 GMT-0000 posts: 9 ☆ ☆ ☆ Thanks, Marc. The man with the golden key called in from an RV park in South Dakota and we talked through the issue. He used phpMyAdmin to delete everything in the "sitemycode" field and everything is restored to normal. This fix in 1.9.8, does it have to do with the filed length or am I likely to screw this thing up again by putting ANYTHING in there? Bill
Posted by Marc Laporte Fri 07 Sep, 2007 03:33 GMT-0000 posts: 55 ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ There is a checkbox that you can use to increase the field size. Use that. Then, to test, without risking breaking anything, add content there but do not put any html. Just pure text. (html can break your site because of missing closing tags). After you add the text, click save, move around 2-3 clicks on the site and come back to the Site Identity admin panel. If the complete text is still there, it means your DB is now able to handle more. Be careful about your html. Make sure all tags are closed. And do not try to use Smarty because you could lock yourself out again and need to call South Dakota again. (I am sure the man with the golden key secretly relishes these moments, but still...) More details here: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=1065 If you have FTP access, you can edit templates/tiki-top_bar.tpl This way, you can always erase it if you lock yourself out. Best regards, M 😉
