Problem: nothing prints when you click the categories to browse by categories.
Skin: Shinigami Blue
I've been reading the creating skins info in the docs/ folder as well as the 2.0 to 3.0 changes for skins trying to puzzle why nothing's printing as well as searching the forums, most of the things I found dealt with the block not showing and not the actual page. The code is pretty much copy/paste from the creating skins categories.tpl example.
<!-- INCLUDE BLOCK : header -->
{topcategorytitle}
<div id="categoriesblock">
{categoryblock}
</div>
<div id="sort">{sortbegin}{charactermenu1} {genremenu} {ratingmenu} {warningmenu} {sortmenu} {completemenu} {sortend}</div>
<!-- INCLUDE BLOCK : listings -->
<!-- INCLUDE BLOCK : footer -->
if I delete the tpl from the skin folder forcing it to use the default categories.tpl..then I get a listing of categories. I tried adding
<!-- START BLOCK : categoryblock -->
and
<!-- END BLOCK : categoryblock -->
just to see what it would do. No change. Can anyone shed some light on what may be causing it to not display, I've run out of things to try
Delete categories.tpl from your skin. The creating skins doc was written for 2.0 and hasn't been updated. The categories.tpl became browse.tpl and the new categories.tpl only controls the look of an individual category item. If you delete it, the skin will use the default one, and you should be good to go.
Gotcha, thanks for the clarification 😀
Will edit the topic to RESOLVED
