Thread

I’m running into an issue where if I am logged into the CP area and I try and load my site up in another tab, the stylesheets fail to load and it looks all garbled.  Any idea what may be causing this?

When I logout everything is fine, just only when I’m logged in.

Any help would be great thanks.

Here is an example of how it looks while Viewing Source:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://url-to-my-site.com//S=ca0faa2321f99774ec91941f9ec2a41dfe751752/?css=styles/reset" />

when it should look like:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://url-to-my-site.com/?css=styles/reset" />

Hi TheBronzePatriot,

What version of EE are you using?

Do you have any third party addons installed?

Are you using htaccess to remove your index.php?

Mike

I’m using:

EE v2.4.0 - Build: date 20120123

I have a bunch of add-ons that I use and I am using the htaccess file posted on ee-garage for NSM htaccess generator (which I use).  What would be best to post to help figure this out?

Hey TheBronzePatriot,

That’s odd indeed.

I just tried to replicate on my own ExpressionEngine 2.4 setup, and couldn’t.

Can you post the relevant part of your template that contains your stylesheet link?

Also, can you list all the add-ons you have in use here.

Thanks! And thanks Mike for the assist!

Sure thing.  My stylesheet tags look like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="{stylesheet='styles/global'}" />

Hi TheBronzePatriot,

That’s a lot of Add-Ons! Nice. I apologize for the delay in getting back to your case.

There is a lot here to try and sift through. Can you move aside the LiveLook and the custom .htaccess stuff to test? Are all of these up to date? Can you check on that?

I do not want to have you removing Add-Ons one at a time to try and see if that is the root cause here because you will lose data with some Add-Ons if you remove them. In fact, just to be safe, before you do anything else I would suggest a full DB backup.

Can you recall when you first started to notice this? Was it after an Add-On was installed, or maybe a system update to your web server, anything like that. Heh, I sound like a Cop on a forensics show. “Did you have any prior contact with the suspect?” “Do you recall anything about the crime scene that might be relative for this investigation?” 😊

We will get to the bottom of this. Please try few things I mentioned and we can go from there.

Cheers,

Turned out that when I was at my wits end that I got the latest EllisLabs newsletter on removing index.php and for kicks I tried that method and it fixed my issue.  Must have been related then to the htaccess default settings from NSM htaccess generator.  Thanks for the help and the great video.
