XF 1.3 Style Properties and EXTRA: logged out vs logged in

[Neil E.]

This one is a bit weird. When I look at my production forum (logged out), it looks correct. Template Modifications are OK, Style Properties are OK and the CSS in EXTRA is OK.

As soon as I log in, Template Modifications are still OK, but Style Properties are not processed and EXTRA is ignored. I have my custom style set as the only one available with no alternate style choice allowed. When I check customized components they all list correctly.

What can prevent the display of a style when logged in?

Can you provide a screenshot of the problem and a link to your site?

Admins can still choose any style whether it is selectable or not by regular users. Sounds like you are viewing the wrong style but I could be mistaken as the information you have stated is confusing.

Further info: I have a template modification that removes the style chooser in the footer. When I turn off that TM, it shows the default style as the current choice. The default style has no customizations, so what I am seeing is correct. When I select the custom style everything is fine. When not logged in, I was seeing the forum as a guest and viewing the custom style (users can only see the custom style).

Now I know how this occurred. I removed all the customizations from my production forum and upgraded it. I then imported all the new customizations from my test forum. So in fact there was no admin style choice made and I wound up with the default style.

I was a surprised to see the difference between logged out (custom) and logged in (default).

SteveF is correct.

You can still choose a style by going to your preferences. No need to hide the style chooser if you only have one style viewable, it does that by default except for admins.

Good to know, thank you.
