Noggin header uploaded does not appear

See the discussion in the comment thread at http://adaptivethemes.com/documentation/noggin-module.

The comment at http://adaptivethemes.com/comment/2049#comment-2049 gives the answer.

I've downloaded the current 7.x-1.x from the repository, and those lines of code in noggin.module have changed slightly since 7.x-1.0 release. So I'm offering the attached patch as the way to solve this, but it needs to be patched against 7.x-1.x-dev not 7.x-1.0. (I can't change the "Version" attribute for this issue, because noggin does not have development releases enabled).

The problem is described here: #1416874: Noggin Header: selector specificity and the cascade and is also fixed by recent update to DEV.

In short the inline CSS was being added in CSS_MODULE, I changed this to CSS_THEME with a big weight so it always loads after all theme stylesheets - this should very much reduce these issues with selectors not taking precedence in the cascade.

The Noggin module simply does not work.

Currently using Drupal 7.12, AdaptiveTheme 7.x-3.x-dev (2012-Feb-14), Pixture Reloaded 7.x-2.2+3-dev (2012-Feb-01) and Noggin 7.x-1.1+0-dev (2012-Feb-05).

I see that you have made all the updates in CSS and added the drop-down list of alternative header images in Noggin along with the correct selector.

What doesn't work:
1. Custom image in the Selected Header drop-down produces no image...none!
2. None of the positioning settings in Noggin work. Images provided with the dev version of Noggin will come up when selected but they are centered, no matter what setting is selected. I want them to be aligned right.

I can get a custom image to come up by uploading the image with ftp client into /public_html/mysite.com/sites/all/modules/noggin/headers and then naming it to one of the names used in your supplied header images. But the image is still centered.

I have cleared cache, run update.php, uninstalled and reinstalled everything and tried to find a CSS file where I can manually go in and set to align right. Nothing works.

Actually I could be perfectly happy placing the image in the Header block region except the CSS for that region places an ugly border around the image and completely upsets the structure of the header. Would you have a solution for that problem?

I am very close to going to another theme. Can we fix this?

Other suggestions:
1. Have a setting for header height.
2. Allow views to occupy the header to provide for slideshows.

John Newton - please, by all means use another theme. The OP is fixed and you are not telling me anything I don't know already. PR will be ready to use the dev version of Noggin when its ready. Save your rants for some other site, frankly I have no time for such rudeness and lack of appreciation of my hard work to provide the community with free software.

Jeff Burnz - my sincere apologies for upsetting you with my "rant". I did not intend for it to be a rant but just wanted to give you all the info I had gathered after about 16 hours of trying to make things work in hopes this would help you complete your tasks. I have changed to a different sub-theme, Corolla, and like it a lot. Thanks for all your hard work and good luck with future developments.

+1 to #8 above, here is more

Cross posting, but the comments I make in the link below apply here as well.

Several issues:

1-The "header fails to display" issue. Confirmed.

2-Making ANY attempt to modify ANY setting on ANY Adaptive Theme (Foo, Pix_reloaded, Corolla, etc) now pins one of the 8 cores on my server and hangs this Apache thread for 70 seconds, after which the administrative (eg theme settings interface) control returns as if nothing ever happened. Does not matter if Noggin is loaded or not. There is no unusual disk activity on the server during this period. (Problem began when I ran update.php after updating to new 'dev' Noggin.)

FYI I revisited the InnoDB settings on the MySQL engine (this server has 8GB) and maxed everything out. NO CHANGE IN PERFORMANCE, it is NOT a database problem, it is some sort of race condition.

3-Not related AFAIK, but also a problem: Uploading a header image file (from the Noggin upload browse box) with an embedded space in the file name (eg "My Picture.png") is a BIG NONO - because the upload works fine, but the file is NEVER FOUND OR DISPLAYED. It took me 2 hours before I finally realized that I should try with a regular file, which does in fact display. Why?

Just my $.02.

Theme: Pix_reloaded current version (7-x.2.2)
Noggin module version -dev, .info file dated internally 5 Feb 2012

hound - please read the forum and issue guidelines, duplicate posts are not allowed. If you do this again I will report this to the webmaster issue queue and have them removed. And no, because of your poor attitude the failure to listen you will not be getting help from me.
