I know its in your themegic version because I have tried (to confirm) in latest version of Purity III and the issue doesn´t happen.


If you write instead of a color the string value(uppercase) when you save the theme it stucks in the middle 4ever. If you back to admin and access the site you get the error attached in the second screenshot. If you write(lowercase) nothing fails.

I hope this can be usefull for your debugging tasks

Best Regards.

What are you changing to transparent?

Thanks

Oh, these are gfx designers things. They send me psd's like this:

Unfortunately attachment wise the forum is quite small

Ok, now its only 161kb. Hope it reach you.
Curiously, I didn´t get any error about attachment size.

Its this limit in the ticket system, too? Because I attached a zip with two jpg's (it didn´t let me add more than one attachment. Like I didn´t receive any error I supposed it was ok, but now I don´t know what to think.

Best regards.

is it possible to try attaching in Chrome?

Hi Thomas,

This is really a bug / protection in T3.

ill add it to the GitHub issue tracker for T3. Thanks for spotting it.

Actually I think it's ideal to just use lowercase letters. This is a fairly standard practice in coding.

Also some Theme Magic Variables wont accept transparent or none as a value because we use other less functionality on them like darken(@variable, 10%); so it's not valid css to use none or transparent for this.

I would advise using the custom.css file if you need to use that kind of declaration.

Thanks

Thanks Anthony for your info.
I always wrote in lowercase, it was because caps in keyboard was on and I didn´t notice until the error.
Then was where I try the same in last t3bs3 blank template only to confirm and inform you.

Anyway, I am a bit slow yet with less, I always compile to css and use custom.css (I have been using t3-framework one year or so). My custom.css's are titanic, attaching other css, includen webkit or google fonts and all that stuff.

Best Regards

Just wondered what field you tried as I can't get it to accept that input

Rob - a developer did write an article about using LESS

Ok, I don´t want to argue with you now. Few time today and tomorrow.
But the weekend I promise to test it again, step by step and if I am right I will record it in video, uploaded to youtube and send you the link.

If I am not right, I humbly ask forgiveness.

Best regards.

P.S.: I have some more topics in the forum, if you have time please give it a look. It is relatively urgent for me

Hi Thomas,

I'm not really following your comment above.

My point was:

1. transparent (lowercase) is a valid rule to enter in a theme magic field in general.
2. Some fields however wont accept transparent because we use less functions to manipulate that colour eg lighten or darken it and so transparent isn't valid for those circumstances.

Hope that clears it up.

Anthony
