Hi all,

I have always used PE for D6. I use many Artisteer themes, and they always worked out of the box with PE. No formatting was lost or anything. I didn't have to do any alterations in my themes. It just worked.

Now on D7, as soon as I enable PE, all themes (including Bartik) lose their css markup. Am I missing something, is it possible to get the same effect as with the D6 branche, or are things now just too different in D7 and will using PE mean that I have to do a lot of coding for each theme to have them play nicely?

If that is so, are there aternatives for PE? I'd like to rely fully on panels for all my layouts. Basically I can get all the 'panelization' done through the taxonomy, node_view, etc. variants. It's just certain system pages and views pages that I can't really move into the Panels domain. In short, I would like to have some panels layout that takes care of all the pages (think ecommerce checkout, 404 page not found pages, etc) that I don't have specific panel pages enabled for.

Thanks in advance for any info and guidance!

I don't understand exactly the problem, do you loose css rules, or markup? "css markup" doesn't make sense to me.
Regardless, I don't have the time to dig deep into this, but I also don't see any reason why you'd loose either of them. Fundamentally, D6 and D7 should be working similarly.

Hi Letharion,

I've attached a screenshot of the result when I enable PE in D7. So you can see what I mean by CSS markup being lost.

It feels like the result you get in D6 after checking the 'override page.tpl' option, which is no longer present in D7.

Clearing caches doesn't solve it.

Just curious if there's an update on this issue, I've been building sites now out of necessity using context for block placements and I'm missing the use of PE very much.

Is there any info on when PE will work again without having to construct custom PE aware themes?

Thanks in advance!
