oooh..is that the collapso menu that's throwing a dicky fit?

[Darren B]

Sure is but all the fonts have gone tit's up aswell. Im not really bothered as i know i cant apply the upgrade to my site

It means all my perl script mods, contact us form, and layouts have to be redone so job for another day

It means all my perl script mods.......... have to be redone so job for another day

ugh...not a welcome thought!

[Darren B]

I know that is why i have left it

Funny though the rawair site seemed to cope with it really well ? dont figure, i still have to do the script changes though, but not so many in that site, but i cant really do it until i have time to do al my sites.

Darren,

Collapso works fine here on 8.5.2-HMVA.

When I look at your site I don't see the code

<actinic:variable name="Collapso-5 Support" />

that should be above the </head> statement.

[Darren B]

It's OK Norman Not a problem with your menu . It is the upgrade trashed the layouts, probably my fault to be honest i wanted to see what happened if i let actinic take control.

I will sort it later, in the new year i will have plenty of time to mess with the sites. So until then they stay as is, way to many changes to implement across all the sites again.

Mind you if Chris can tell us when V9 will be out , it might not bother anyway

Hey Darren

I just accepted the Actinic default upgrades. All I had to do was add back the perl mods and it all worked fine.

Alistar

I dont have a problem doing it, i have a lot of perl and script mods on my sites and i have to upgrade 4 sites so i need time to sit down and get them all done at once, or start messing on another pc i guess
