Site updated to Drupal 5.8

Posted by admin on July 10th, 2008

Just updated this site to Drupal 5.8. It seems everything is fine but as you can see from the tab blocks, it's broken. :(

Can't seem to pinpoint where it went wrong so will need to continue digging for clues. Bloody annoying when these little things happen as it really messes up the whole design since the tab really pulls it together. Oh! well i'm sure a fix is just around the corner. Better get some sleep for now... sigh!

UPDATE (11th July):
Looks like there is a core bug in Drupal 5.8 which has affected the rendering of blocks. (see: http://drupal.org/node/232037)

This bug seem to have affected many other modules that rely upon having Drupal add the JS or CSS to the head of the HTML document.

There are two ways this can be fixed for now until the bug is resolved:

Revert block.module back to Drupal version 5.7 - http://drupal.org/node/281026
Use the new patch file and patch your site - http://drupal.org/node/232037 (under review)

Either way, it should restore some of the affected modules.

I have recently been playing around with a CSS framework called Blueprint 0.7.1. This framework was built around using a grid system and typography. Part of the experiment was to use my site to test it out. So far, it has been quite good as well as disappointing. It was supposed to ease the CSS development but when you add all the CSS files together there where more work to be done than to cut down on development time. read more »
