Hello, we are having issues with the new upgrade.  Most notably the following two issues.

1.  Login button is semi-missing, if you click where it is supposed to appear 3-4 times the text "Login" appears and triggers the click

2.  Edit page. which makes it near impossible to make any changes because text disappears on hover along with invisible "Update" buttons. Most checkboxes do not appear, and the Dropdownlists are empty.

We believe the issue is that it cannot find the default.css file.  When viewing a page through Firebug we see "https://{site}/Resources/Shared/stylesheets/dnndefault/7.0.0/default.css?cdv=220" 404 Not Found error.  We have upgraded the skin to a DNN 8 compatible version.  We have double checked that the skins in the HostSettings and SiteSettings actually reference existing skins and containers. 

 

 The "cdv" seems to be the dnn version since it seems to match the field "CrmVersion" in the HostSettings table.  So wondering if there is some version mismatch.  I tried to copy the default.css from the upgrade zip directly over it but that did not work either.

Also it looks like if i rename the file "\Resources\Shared\stylesheets\dnndefault\8.0.0\default.css" Firebug does not throw any errors so it seems this installation does not even look for the 8.0 file.

Note that this is an issue in 8.00.00 and 8.00.01.  I upgraded to the .01 in the hope that it would fix it but no joy.

So.  How do I get this to work? 

 

Thanks.

 

DNN 8 comes with two defaul.css (in a different location), one with reduced CSS for DNN 8 skins and the old DNN7 version for upgraded skins. The s,in need to specify in manifest, whether to use DNN7 or DNN8 version.

Speed up your DNN Websites with TurboDNN

Maybe your site's skin is not using the standard files. My (DNN 7) site picks up default.css from a very different place to yours. http://www.woottonbassettvbc.co.uk/Po... of course dnn 8 might be different. However I'm a little surprised that your site would expect to pick it up from a path with 7.0.0 in it.

What you edited in StyleSheet editor is not default.css. it's portal.css. My site picks that up from http://www.woottonbassettvbc.co.uk/Po...

The cdv= parameter is not related to the DNN version. It's a cache buster parameter designed to allow the css files to be served with long duration cache headers. Background here - https://blog.httpwatch.com/2007/12/10...
