template for page tab was created by mc360
hey,
i have a problem. I use beez20 template for my joomla page. Now i had copied the template and wants to modify the template for using it in for page tab in facebook (becaus original template is to big for page tab). So i configured in backend not "no override use default template" but use new beez20 template.

Problem: i recognized that my page is not correct shown in page tab. With "not correct" i mean new beez20 tamplate is used in page tab BUT some changes are not active in pagetab like in normal joomla page. For example personal.css is not used in pagetab. In personal.css i made some important changes which works in normal joomla page. Even if i use original beez20 template instead of "no override use default template" then personal.css is not used in pagetab.
But i thought "no override use default template" should have the same effect when i choose original beez20 template because THIS IS MY DEFAULT TEMPLATE. But it is not so.

So, where is the difference between these two options although this should have the same effect?

thanks and regards,
chris

That's an excellent question.. honestly, there shouldn't be a difference, so let's help either narrow down the confusion or find the bug. Hopefully, it's the first :)

First, make sure you're running JFBConnect 4.1.2. That has a few fixes for the template settings for the Page Tab.
Next, make sure you've created a specific "Style" for your new Beez20 template in the Template Manager. When you select a template from the Page Tab area of JFBConnect, you're selecting a specific 'style' to use of a template, not just the template itself.
Finally, edit that style in the Template Manager and make sure the "Template Colour" parameter is set to "Personal". That's what loads the personal.css file.

Let me know if everything above is already set that way (or if you're thoroughly confused) and how it all works out.

Thanks,
Alex

Hey,

i think i found the problem (bug?):
I have newest version -> ok.
Please forget my copied beez20, you can reproduce it with normal beez20. If you choose "override" then everything its ok, means, facebook pagetab looks like normal joomla page. BUT: if you choose the style beez20 as your facebook template, then in facebook the personal.css is not used (i controlled it in sourcecode-> no personal.css).
I checked the style beez20 in joomla backend, and there personal.css is activated (has to be because normal joomla page is ok too ).
For test i added in pagetab the personal.css and: everything is ok!

Do you know why personal.css is not used in facebook pagetab and how can i fix it? Workaround?

Regards,
Christian

Evidence that personal.css is choosed, from my sql table for beez20 style:^M
`jos_template_styles` VALUES (4, 'beez_20', 0, '1', 'Beez2 -
Default',
'{"wrapperSmall":53,"wrapperLarge":72,"logo":"images\\/small\\/logo.gif","sitetitle":"","sitedescription":"","navposition":"center","templatecolor":"personal"}');

Chris,
Wanted to let you know we are looking into this, but don't have any great answers yet. Please give us a few days to see what we come up with. We haven't heard of this issue from any users before, so need to do a little more testing to try to break it on our end.. and then hopefully we can fix it.

If we can't recreate the problem, we may need to request access to the admin area of your site, if possible.

Thanks,
Alex

Hey,

i have new information, perhaps it will help you on analysing (problem above still exists)

Descrition:
If you click in joomla on a template style you can add menu, for wich this style is used. All menus are added to normal beez20 because normal joomla page is using the normal beez20. In page tab configuration i choosed modified beez20 template (fb_beez20).

Problem:
If i go to my facebook tab and click one menu item then always the beez20 template is used (switched to), because in joomla backend beez20 is used for all menus.

BUT: In normal case it does work but if you go back to normal joomla page and click one menu, then go back to page tab and cklick one menu there, then this is occuring. If you dont go back to normal joomla page then this problem does not exist in page tab.

Why is this so?

Regards,
Christian

Chris,
We've done a ton of testing using different template styles, and we're simply unable to recreate what you mention. A lot of our testing is in the "Canvas View", not necessarily a Page Tab, but they are treated almost identically by JFBConnect. We can see the personal.css (or nature.css) file included on the page, if selected.

Can you please post (or Private Message) us:
* the URL of the site that you are trying to display in a Page Tab
* The Facebook Page that you using

Right now, I don't think we'll need admin access to the site.. but if we can't glean anything from looking at your FB Page or the website page, that will be the next step. We have a lot of users that use the Page Tab features, and this is the first time we've heard the style selection isn't working properly.. so something's off.. we just need to figure out what it is.

Thanks,
Alex
