Thesis Problem with Openhook 2.2.4 using custom css


Thesis 1.5.1 Problem with Openhook 2.2.4 using custom css

This is an OpenHook problem and what they changed during the update.

Anyway we are of course using custom.css to make one of our blogs (not this one) look really awesome. Well, if you go in to change ANY element of the CSS through Thesis Custom Styling after doing the upgrade to Openhook 2.2.4 it adds a / in front of every “

So for example if you have a CSS style that calls a specific font, IE “Times” it adds the / and it becomes /”Times”/

Example:

.style {

font-family: “Times New Roman”;

font-size: 18px;

font-style: italic;

Becomes:

.style {

font-family: /”Times New Roman”/;

font-size: 18px;

font-style: italic;

That unexpected syntax kills all the CSS below. We also use tag specific CSS calls like:

Img [align="left"]

which defines what the CSS does every time an image is set to align=”left”

And of course this changes to:

Img [align=/"left"/]

Which of course means that all of the tags stop working with the addition of /

Openhook 2.2.4 Workaround:

The only thing that does work seems to be uploading the changes to the custom.css file in Dreamweaver and uploading through FTP. Those changes stick, however doesn’t that nullify some of the benefits of Thesis?
