Working on a "digital press kit" for a client here in TX. We chose tabby 2 as the theme for our posterous blog and was able to admin it pretty well. Until testing it, we have seen the navigation break down, where the tag tabs in the ehader become text links and disappear from the global header when you click on items to the left of "All Topics"

Anyone have any idea how the code is reacting to that?

Thoughts?

We haven't received any answers or help via the Forum, but here's what Posterous told us re: our issue:

It doesn't look like there's anything wrong here on our end. That Sierra Diablo post does indeed have both tags assigned to it in our system, and we're outputting it fine. It's just not fitting into the theme, but it's there in the HTML, just like it should be.. Have you asked Cory about these? It seems like it's something he'd be best suited to address.

-----------------------

Thanks for the help. Here’s an example of a post that has a Tag that has been dropped from the Tabby 2 theme’s navigation:

http://circleranchtx...with-comments-f

We think because we have tagged “Management Plan” and “Management Plans” which are two similar tags, that we have a database issue that won’t make the correlation.

The other issue we are having is on the other blog, where the navigation just destructs itself when clicking on the Tag tabs:

http://citrussa.post....com/tag/photos

The password for that site is: taylorwest

Thanks for any and all help!

Interesting...the malformed section is missing a ul tag. Is it in the code itself? You'd want to look for something like:

ul class="more-tags-listing"

[taylorwest]

We'll take a look into the ul tag. Thanks Cory. stay tuned on any success.

Jeff,

Did you find a solution to the link breakdown? I am not a web programmer, but tried a few things in the code without success.

I'd appreciate any info you might have.

Thanks,
Hector

I just installed the Tabby ver 2 theme, and I'm experiencing the same problem. I would love to know if anyone manages to fix this issue. I'm afraid I am not proficient in CSS so any help is appreciated. It'd be great to be able to fix this, Tabby is a great theme and I'd love to use it!

We haven't had any luck either. Just not working for us. We're gonna scrap and reload the theme and hope it works. Tabby 2, when working, is a great theme and makes sense for use.

If anyone has any luck working out the CSS fix please let me know as well!

There are two issues here.

The first is that some tags don't appear, but the dropdown shows up correctly.

The second is that the dropdown is actually broken.

Jeff - can you provide the current password to your example site(s)?

http://circleranchtx...with-comments-f works as expected - The issue here is that because I had to sort of hack this functionality together, I had to approximate how many links should appear across the main nav bar before truncating into the dropdown. You can manually change the number of tags that show up - in the case of circleranchtx, you'd want to reduce the number of tags to 8. That way, the rest of them will appear in the expanded menu.

Tabby 2's faux nav was really a hacked together attempt for page navigation. Tabby 3 will be released soon, and page support will replace the tags as tabs like in the current version.

I have the same problem. Click any middle tab and the navigation plunks into a set of text links on top of the headline. Looks really terrible...(!)

I just installed Tabby and have the same issue. I've done a couple things to try to troubleshoot to no avail.

1) Reinstalled the theme ... that didn't work
2) Applied Tabby 2 ... that didn't work, still has the same bug
3) Tried hacking around in the CSS using firebug ... that didn't work.

This theme seems to be broken.

Cory is it possible to permanently fix this theme?? Otherwise are their methods you'd suggest to troubleshooting this problem in CSS? I love the theme and it's perfect for what I want to do, but stinks that it's broken for so many people.

Just found out that the reason this no longer works is because of an internal change to Posterous. Now I have to figure out a workaround...

ok, thanks for the response! that makes sense because it looks like everyone who has applied this theme has broken navigation

FWIW,

I seemed to get the tabs to work properly by changing the nav-container class div in the template to:

<div class="nav-container">            
        {block:TagList}
            <ul class="nav"
                       <li class="all-tags"><a href="{SiteURL}">All Topics</a></li>
                {block:TagListing collapsible='false' count='12' action_id='seemore_link'}
    
                    {block:TagListingMore}
                       <li class="more-tags-link"><a href="#" id="seemore_link" class="more-tags">View all {NumTags} tags</a></li>
                    {/block:TagListingMore}
        
                    {block:TagItem}
                        <li><span class="tag"><a href="{TagLink}">{TagName}</a></span></li>
                    {/block:TagItem}
    
                    {block:TagItemSelected}
                        <li class="tag_item_selected"><span class="selected-tag">{TagName}</span></li>
                        <style type="text/css">
                            .all-tags,.all-tags a {
                                background:none;
                                border:0;
                                color:{color:Navigation} !important;
                            }
                        </style>
                    {/block:TagItemSelected}
                    
                {/block:TagListing}
            </ul>
        {/block:TagList}
    </div>

Actually, the only real change is setting the block:TagListing collapsible='false' instead of 'true'
