A comment on the problem "I have deleted a page from my site pages and I can still visit it if I type it's url in... Why is this?" in Yola:

if you could take a screen shot of tyour page list and then link a page that was not in that list but still live that would be complete proof and they could investigate it as a bug. – UK Duke, on November 08, 2009 02:54

A comment on the question "Is Lightbox 2 Possible on my Yola site?" in Yola:

not sure - this is lightbox 2.03 same as the 1 on yolacodes but has the ability to group images - full script here - http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicin...

1 thing i noticed when applying to Yola was you need the full URL of the images for controlling the show in the CSS and java files. i.e. resources/.... was not enough. – UK Duke, on November 08, 2009 02:52

A comment on the problem "I have deleted a page from my site pages and I can still visit it if I type it's url in... Why is this?" in Yola:

yeah i had republished loads (it must have been a 2 week period before i realised it still exsisted after deleting it) - i was shocked to see it still exsisted - i should have proved it there and then with screen shots but i stupidly try to fix it myself by making a new page called 'a' and then deleted that... after a republish that page was gone forever.

You know me - i know about browser cache and re publishing.

All i can presume is that some content on the page caused it not to actually fully delete... just a guess.

Its like a ghost page :) – UK Duke, on November 08, 2009 02:43

Laura,

You've been hard at work :)

The site has really come on a along way - i love the landing page, alot of people ask how to do that in the forum - i'm going to start pointing them towards your site as an example.

I love the use of backgrounds throughout the site - really cool.

For me there is a problem with the Best Friends Forever page - non of the links seem to work, maybe its an issue with the custom cursor. (it wasnt working with firefox)

Another little thing if you get time - If you could make the falling peace image on the Peace page into a transparent image (png) it would look super clean.

You've really shocked/impressed me with how far your site has come on - keep it up you have a real talent.

Lee.

I had this same thing last week.

I had deleted a test page called 'a' but it got listed by google - the page could still be reached live but it had been offically deleted and was no where to be found in my site account.

Weird.

Maybe its a bug.

UK Duke replied on November 08, 2009 02:22 to the question "Is Lightbox 2 Possible on my Yola site?" in Yola:

Hi everyone,

Lightbox 2 can be used very easily with Yola.

See it on a (unfinished) site i have here http://palsbar.gr/photos

All the files in the show are hosted by me - no middle site.

@ Jane

The file manager is a very easy tool to use when uploading files, i would highly recommend the Yola Pro option if you are trying to add complex custom codes to your site.

You can get more info about Yola pro by searching Yolas help files.

<!--

Hi William,

It is possible but staff don't reccommend it.

If you change the menu link colours it will also change the default link colour on the page.

If you want to try - make a test page then add this code to a html widget at the top of that page:

//------------------------ start of code ----------------------

<style type="text/css">

a, a:visited {
background-color: transparent;
color: #0000FF;
}

a:link {
background-color: transparent;
color: #36d381;
}

a:hover {
background-color: transparent;
color: #FF0000;
}

</style>

//------------------------ end of code ----------------------

Have a play round with the colours (#0000FF / #36d381 / #FF0000)

Lee.

Hi Genevieve,

Does that do the same thing on the published site?

I also did not have the scroll bars.

Perhaps its something to do with the custom CSS you have added to the page.

You have numerous CSS styles on the same page doing almost the same thing.

Where did you get the code for sections on the page?

UK Duke replied on November 07, 2009 15:54 to the question "Pic not visible after upload" in Yola:

Hi John,

First of all make sure your using either a new verison of Firefox or Internet Explorer - i.e. Not Chrome. - The password retrieval button should work.

About the picture not showing - If you are adding it normally (through a text widget or picture widget) then perhaps there is a foriegn character in the file name... file names should be simply english characters only.

If your adding the file manually through code make sure it is in the correct case - file names are case sensitive.

Lee.

If the above does not help then leave your URL and image filenames and i'll take a closer look for you.

UK Duke replied on November 07, 2009 14:59 to the question "My website is all over the place!" in Yola:

It sure is Martin,

The home page is ok, the rest is a bit of a mess.

Have you copied in content from another source?

If you are going to copy into Yola you have to first run it through a basic text editor (notepad not word)

I would suggest deleting all the pages except the home page - use the 'save page as' function to replicate the home page.You can use the live site to get back content just make sure you run it first through Notepad as it will still conatin any code attached to it.

The main problem you have is that the Yola link is not showing and this is agianst your Terms of Service... i.e. your site could potentially be closed.

Remember if you take my advice and redo the pages, after deleting a page not to update your site intill you have saved all the content from the live site.

UK Duke replied on November 07, 2009 11:14 to the question "URL tool bar address changes on load." in Yola:

Hi Rob.B,

It should retain the domain name in the browser ad bar not redirect to the subdomain.

When you sign into Yola you get to a page called 'my sites'

If you scroll down to the bottom you will see 'enable advanced domain settings' -- click that



Then click the Advanced Domain Settings link and you will see soemthing like this - make sure your domain is set as the primary domain and not the subdomain.



After a few weeks/months when all your traffic is directing to the domain name i would just go ahead and unpublish your old subdomain.

A comment on the question "lee help please" in Yola:

Theres 2 codes in the head section...
The CSS and the java

The CSS controls the look of the floating bar. – UK Duke, on November 04, 2009 16:10

A comment on the question "lee help please" in Yola:

the code has 3 sections you need on the page.
The css at the top, then the javascript, then the div conating the floating bar content.

Try and set up the example on the page then change the conetnt of the div.
