If you're using Aegir and don't see the changes, remember to flush/disable MidCOM cache of that site. This is just a precaution, since AIS flushes it automagically and if you select the component style in AIS it should be immediately visible. Flushing is done by simply visiting the uri www.example.net/midcom-cache-invalidate and you can check the settings from www.example.net/midcom-admin/settings/ to disable the cache if you're using a small site with low amount of visits or if the site isn't yet in production and you're building it. Then the next is to try to give some 'hello world' echoing on styles. I'll go through the basics so that there is no part missed: 1) MidCOM styles that you choose for components are used only where the style element <(content)> is used in either element <(ROOT)> or elsewhere in style elements. This means that you can't override the style you have determined for the site by selecting a style for the component. 2) Remember that components use spesific style elements (eg. 'de.linkm.taviewer' uses element 'show-article' and 'de.linkm.newsticker' uses 'show-detail' for similar purpose) - if your styles (eg. your 'Sub page') don't have the right elements, there will be nothing to show. Depending on the component you need to have the spesific style elements that you override. Besides having the newest, MidCOM CVS has also list of component spesific elements (http://midcom.tigris.org/ - which wasn't answering just a moment ago...) 3) If you're certain you have done things right so far, flush cache as described above and disable it if necessary. Since you're willing to have dynamic navigation on left side if _not_ on the frontpage, you can make a small if statement. Depending on MidCOM version, you have many alternatives. Here's two ways I'd do it: // Slower, yet less error prone in sense of using suffixed site // structure if ($GLOBALS['midcom_site']['nap']->get_current_node() === $GLOBALS['midcom_site']['nap']->get_root_node()) { // Do things in here } // Faster, yet you might have to manually determine which $argv level is // the right one. print_r($argv) to see what it has, it might be useful // also in other places. if (array_key_exists(0, $argv)) { // Do things in here } I'd also place this if statement in ROOT-element the site uses. > Am I doing something wrong? or maybe misunderstund how styles should be > used :) I hope this helped. :) > I'm quite new with Midgard and I really appreciate all help you can > give!
