So I just installed serendipity 1.2, with the Bulletproof theme that included with the default build.

I ran it thru an HTML validator, and it complained on the following links being 404.
Not sure if it's a serendipity, a bulletproof problem, or a stupid installer (ME) problem

Code: Select all

<!-- #skiplinks: these are links used to navigate quickly in text-based browsers -->
<!--             they are of little use in modern graphical browsers, so the are -->
<!--             hidden using CSS                                                -->
<div id="skiplinks">
   <ul>
     <li><a href="skipnav">Skip to site navigation</a></li>
     <li><a href="skipent">Skip to blog entries</a></li>

     <li><a href="http://www.mpking.com/index.php?/archive">Skip to archive page</a></li>
     <li><a href="skiplsb">Skip to left sidebar</a></li>
     <li><a href="skiprsb">Skip to right sidebar</a></li>
   </ul>
</div>

I noticed the same thing on my site, I added a number sign in front of each of them and it fixes the problem.

<!--             they are of little use in modern graphical browsers, so the are -->
<!--             hidden using CSS                                                -->
<div id="skiplinks">
   <ul>
     <li><a href="#skipnav">Skip to site navigation</a></li>
     <li><a href="#skipent">Skip to blog entries</a></li>

     <li><a href="http://www.mpking.com/index.php?/archive">Skip to archive page</a></li>
     <li><a href="#skiplsb">Skip to left sidebar</a></li>
     <li><a href="#skiprsb">Skip to right sidebar</a></li>
   </ul>
</div>

Someone on the bulletproof team would probably be able to explain better than myself whats going on. I just know I had the same issue and doing the above works on my site and resolved the 404s.

Hi!

Thanks for reporting that here; it was fixed already in the bp 1.1 version code that is bundled with the next upcoming s9y version, and available for download on the bp site.

Best regards,
Garvin

I downloaded bulletproof v1.1.

Same problem looks like.

it's the index.tbl file, it still doesn't have the # signs necessary.

However, #skipnav still comes up as a broken link.

BTW, the xml.gif files don't have image sizes define. (This is also tripping on the validator) Any idea where I could fix that?

Hi!

Hm, then it might be only fixed in the upcoming BP version. Here it is fixed:

http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/serendipi ... iew=markup

I just reviewed the source code. It appears it was fixed on the 27th. Since BP was released on the 20th.

Any rumors on when the next release might appear? (Otherwise I'll just go off the SVN.)
