Love this mod, guys...but it seems to break XHTML validation...

Is this being worked on?

You can check this by validating your site...or you can see the results of mine:

Thanks for looking...

Blue Dream...

Sweet...glad it's fixed! Now if I can get some help with the block I'm looking for...everything will be "Peaches and Cream"...

Thanks for the quick fix!

All my best...

BlueDream...

I guess I spoke too soon...

I uninstalled the portal...downloaded the fixed version...reinstalled...and all was well...until I moved some blocks around. As soon as you do that...it breaks the XHTML validation...again.

It's fixed in 2.1, which is not released yet.

Thanks for the info...

Any idea as to the date of its scheduled release?

When it's ready.

Saviour · « **Reply #7 on:** November 24, 2008, 01:04:36 PM »

Well, that certainly makes sense...

Well...it would appear it's not.

You are using articles feature right?

And I'd be glad if you can report if you find more.

Saviour · « **Reply #10 on:** November 27, 2008, 12:19:31 PM »

Yes...

That seems to be the only issue I'm having at the moment. While I know there may be some known bugs, with the new version of SP, I will keep you informed of other validation issues.

Thanks...

Bumping my own post...sorry...

Anyway...the last XHTML validation link I posted, initially, had only one error. There are now 15 errors.

Now...I'm not being picky, but to be totally honest...there are those out there (myself included) that would like to see this mod pass XHTML validation.

We were told that it would be fixed in this latest release...however, it has not. No offense...I think you guys are doing a fine job with this portal.

It's freakin' awesome! I absolutely love it!

However, XHTML validation means a lot to me...and this mod doesn't pass in that respect. Check your own site with the XHTML link you have at the bottom of any of your site's pages and you'll see what I mean.

My question is this: Is XHTML validation being overlooked here...or is it currently being addressed? I know there are some known bugs that are being worked on...and I think this should be addressed with the same priority you're giving to the reported bugs, as well.

Just my opinion...and I don't mean to upset anyone...I'm just showing my concern and voicing an opinion.

Again...Awesome!

It's being addressed, sorry for the inconvenience.

Saviour · « **Reply #13 on:** November 27, 2008, 09:57:27 PM »

No problem, Jade...

If it helps at all...based on the blocks I currently have on my portal page...it would seem that (so far) the Articles and the Board News block seem to be two of the culprits.

If I remove those from the portal page, the page passes XHTML validation.

Just a heads up...

Jade Elizabeth · « **Reply #14 on:** November 27, 2008, 10:31:34 PM »

Thanks, we appreciate it

Jade Elizabeth · « **Reply #15 on:** November 28, 2008, 12:50:07 AM »

Can you check your theme validates? I mean you have mods on it that could be interfering with SP or something?...

My page validates and I have articles..

And that is validating for me too..

I can well understand your concerns. Of course it is not overlooked, but portal page can get ~20 pieces and it is quite easy to make a typo while working on them. Thanks for the input, hopefully they will be fixed.

I found out why SimplePortal 2.1 was failing XHTML validation.

It has to do with the following:

1. File SPortal1-1.template.php shows this code: <td style="padding: 5px;"colspan="2">
, when, in fact, the code should be <td style="padding: 5px;" colspan="2">. You forgot a space. You also forgot to close the <td> tag for that line of code.

2. File SPortal1-1.php has the same code error, as above...however, you did manage to close the <td> tag for that line of code.

After I made the changes...the portal page now passes XHTML validation.

Just thought you'd like to know...
