I'm setting up a SharePoint Site where the masterpage is built using one of the existing masterpages as a starting point (Blue Band).
When I test the site while logged in as the super admin, everything looks fine. But if I log in as a general user the default masterpage shows as Blue Band again.
I'm guessing there must be some permissions problem where the new CSS isn't allowed to show. It appears to just be the CSS as the placement of elements is as per the new master page.
This usually happens to me when the CSS file is not published or approved yet. Where is your new CSS located? Have a look with SharePoint Designer or browse to it and publish/approve it.
Must be published as a major version.
To improve this question, if you are using an external CSS File, make sure it is not checked out to your Admin user or whoever was working on it.

I'm just playing about with an offline copy of Concrete5 and was wondering if there is any way to link blocks to the composer system to make them work? I made a page template hoping I could just click 'new page' and select my template to add it to the right area of my test site, but it won't show up. I then tried to edit a preset page template from my theme, and that worked fine... except it still populates the new page with the original blocks.
It seems like a total nightmare to do anything in this system. Should I be using a different one if I can't even do this?
I am not sure I fully understand your question but have you had a look at this tutorial? It might help https://documentation.concrete5.org/tutorials/setup-a-simple-blog-within-concrete-5-7
I'm trying to re-skin an existing site using CSS only. I will be taking one of their CSS files and redoing it to match a new design, without changing any HTML. I want a good way of continually updating and then testing, but I have to do it locally because they do not have a dev environment. The site itself is dynamic and authenticated, so I can't just download pages from the site and test the entire thing locally. I was hoping that there is a way to tell my browser (Firefox, preferably) to disable that specific remote CSS file and replace it with a local file.
I don't want to use something like Web Develop Toolbar or Firebug because that requires me to manually make the changes each time I load a page. I want something more seamless.
I was thinking one possibility is to load my new stylesheet in userContent.css, but I would still need a way of telling the browser not to load the original stylesheet from the server.
Any ideas?
UPDATE: I found this Mozilla bug report https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208641 discussing the issue of being able to change userContent.css without restarting Firefox. One of the posters (Simon Wilper) posted some files and info about adding a menu item to refresh userContent.css, but it talks about modifying browser.xul and I can't find that file on my system. This seems like the last piece of the puzzle.
You can use AdBlock Plus to create a custom filter to block that one particular stylesheet, so it will not load when you go to the site. This rule will always be in effect, so as you refresh the page, you will not have to do anything extra.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
As for adding your own stylesheet onto that external site, you can use Stylish, an add-on for adding your own stylesheets to particular domains. This, too, will always be present as you refresh the page.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/stylish/
The issues you will run into, I imagine, will be what to do with images you are intending on linking to in the CSS. You will have to upload them somewhere, reference them absolutely, and then once you are finished, replace the URLs with new locations on their server. Also, that editing Stylish stylesheets within their editor is pretty poor (no code colouring, no code completion.) Probably better to edit it in your editor of choice, and then paste it into the Stylish textarea. Hit save, then see your work (I believe you won't even have to refresh, but I might be wrong.)
Also, both these add-ons are available for Chrome too.

I am not sure why people are suggesting to install extensions for this simple task. I would suggest you to just follow these steps to disable whichever file you want from being loaded in your browser that you want. Just follow these few simple steps:
Hit Ctrl + Shift + C to open source inspection
Navigate to Network tab
Right Click on any file from the list and and click Block request URL
Now the file won't load. Cheers!
PS: Steps are same for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers. Not tested on Opera and/or Safari.
Install web developer extension
http://chrispederick.com/work/web-developer/firefox/
And then it will create a menu under the Address bar, click on the css tab and then "Disable Styles" > Disable Individual Style Sheet" > then select the style sheet file you want to disable
after this, again click on the css tab and then "Add User Style Sheets" , next select your css file.
Have been using the blog post to customize Top Navigation of my Site Collection in SharePoint 2010 using SharePoint designer and my credential. I am getting the results as expected when I view the sites with my credentials.
But when another user logs into the sitecollection and navigates through the sites and pages, CSS style is not being applied. I modified the Master page to move the search box out of the Top Navigation bar, all these changes are reflected only the CSS styles are being applied.
Any help to resolve this is highly appreciated.
Oops I had to check in the CSS files uploaded in the Style Library using SharePoint Site. For some reason checking in SharePoint Designer is not working.
i want to develop our site in such a way user can choose theme. when user will choose theme then i want show the images of our site' home page with various look and user will just choose the images and theme of our site will be change. i know how to change theme from the code behind.

thanks
I think I know what you're trying to say, and I would go about it like this:
Apply a theme to your site, then run it
Take a screenshot of your homepage
Open Paint and paste the screenshot onto the canvas
Save the image as "MySite_Theme1" or something like that
Once you have followed these steps for each of your themes, do the following to apply each preview to a button
Add the screenshots to your site's Images folder.
Go back into your site and create an <asp:ImageButton> for each theme. Apply ID, ImageURL, ImageAlign, runat, Height, and Width. The control should resize the image based on the button's height & width.
Go to changing themes with buttons, how? for coding the code behind.
I hope this helps you out
EDIT: I would also look for the book Beginning ASP.NET in C# & VB. Wrox is the publisher. I have found that and a lot more at www.wowebook.com :)
You could use ASP.NET Themes which could be changed dynamically at runtime.
I am using drupal for the first time. I have successfully developed my first drupal website to a certain extent. I have used my own custom theme for the front-end and blue marine theme for administrator. Now my client's requirement is that when he clicks on preview button before submitting the page in admin panel, he wants to see the preview in a pop-up window with the front-end's theme. Please help me with your ideas and suggestions on how to achieve this?
When you set the administration theme, leave the "Use administration theme for content editing" unchecked. This should allow content creation / previewing in the "front-end" theme.
EDIT: Assuming you are using Drupal 6.x
Have you seen this module - http://drupal.org/project/pagepreview it aims to give you what the page will look like on the front-end theme.
There are some caveats though, for instance the menu will not be correct if this is a new node
As far as I know Themeing is a complicated process in Drupal, it involves many modules and hooks, so I don't think it's an easy task for a module (maybe) to do that, or in core like Wordpress.
I'm working on getting a nice solution to this too. I won't post the code yet cos it's a work in progress, but essentially I make an ajax call to retrieve a known node and then replace the node content of that page with the content of the preview box before showing the merged page in a popup window.
If it works out alright I might make a module out of it.

Patches the Page Preview module with some of the Responsive Theme Preview modules functionality for viewing the page at different screen sizes in the preview panel.
Page preview's caveats still apply though.
