    Major issue with theme

    Since I upgraded Shozam to v.35 everything has been working fine until now. I'm using the same thing (slightly customized in the editor and saved under a new theme name). The site I'm building consists of several galleries made with the same theme. I was just making a few changes to one of the galleries and when I preview the theme everything looks fine. When I view the actual gallery the title text appears to be about a font size of 8 but in the theme customization it's set at 18 bold. I've tried generating with and without the "generate modified files only" checked, but the title text still shows up too small. So I thought I'd try saving the theme under a new name. Not possible. I can't save it under it's original name either. I get  an error saying invalid theme name (path to my documents/shozam themes). It also makes a weird reference to the swf file and a compressed swf file.

    I also tried using a few different themes and the end results are the same. Bug in this release or have my themes all become corrupt? I'm totally stumped.

    Re: Major issue with theme

     Well, I found the issue but not sure why it caused this. In step 5 under the HTML tab (to appear above the page) I wrote some HTML for a menu and also have a javascript for an "insite" search. There was also some HTML for a line of text. When I took out the HTML for the text the gallery generated normally.

    But this brings up a question for me. I was under the impression that any HTML code would be independent of settings in the theme editor. So I'm curious as to why setting a paragraph <p> and font size <font size="1"> would make the gallery title size change?

    The basic text HTML I used was something like this

    <p><font size="1"><b> TEXT</b></font></p>

    Only the gallery title appeared to be affected. But I'm stumped as to why it was.

     I would think that you are correct in your assumption,

     In past galleries, I have put text there and never noticed a change in the title font or size.

    Re: Major issue with theme

     I haven't either. That's why it really confused me. I'm thinking something I did in some additional HTML might have caused it. Maybe I left out a closing tag or something because the gallery title text ended up the same size. Anyway, I wrote the code again and it's working...

    Your latest guess was also mine when I started reading the post - some unclosed tag made the inline text style apply to the title text. Glad to know you were able to clean it up.
