I am in the process of designing a basic site using Drupal 7.0-alpha6 and Views 7.x-3.x-dev. Yes, I understand that both of these are still under early stages of development and will inevitably have problems. That being said, I have a problem that seems to be caused by views, though I'm not sure how.

I was making changes to the frontpage view, made one change, and when the page refreshed and I got a white page with the user link, log out link and the management menu. Nothing on this page is formatted. There is no header information or other content being rendered. Essentially it is only displaying the overlay menu, nothing else. I have attached a screenshot of this.

This unformatted management menu page only shows up when any user is logged in. Once logged out, everything displays normally. Any page, node or admin page displays the same result.

The depressing thing is that I don't remember what setting I changed, as I immediately walked away at the time. I am posting this in views as that was the only thing I changed at the time. May not be views at all judging by the behavior.

Thanks for any help.

Do you use the internet explorer? If yes you need to aggregate the css. You might come over 31 css files when you edit a view.

I don't think this can expllain the rest.

I use Firefox, though I have duplicated the issue in IE8 as well. The pages simply aren't getting generated when I look at the source. CSS has not been aggregated at this point, though I am unable to do that now as I can't access anything when logged into Drupal.

I (think) I got the solution.

Go to sites/default/files and look for an .htaccess file.
Delete it.

I got this problem when using media module.

If this is the problem you have to *hack* core, to make a full fix: http://drupal.org/node/105580
This problems arise with cheap hosts.

So this is a issue with drupal itself?

Thank you for your help. I figured out the problem, though I am still confused as to why or how. I am modifying the Basic theme and I had made some very minor adjustments to the template.php file hours before making the changes to Views. Apparently, it cached the setting until then, when it decided to break. So this has nothing to do with Views...sorry moderators! I fixed the problem by systematically replacing files from the original theme till I was successful with template.php.

Still getting my feet wet with 7. Isn't this fun?!? Cut my teeth on 5 and thought it was time to start learning again with 7!

So this is fixed. Had nothing to do with views.
BTW ALWAYS CLEAR YOUR CACHE AFTER EDITING THEMES ;)

I also come from version 5 and trust me 7 is waaaay better ;)
