The site in question is constructed to box model methods, and should provide the client with a means of looping the photo and caption on the left of the page. However, at the moment, creating a new loop results in… nothing appearing to happen at all.
I’ve tried having the looping section contained within a single left floating column, and then contained within a double column - the text div float right, the loop floated left, but neither instance seems to work. If I delete everything except the looping section… the loops will now appear correctly as I create and delete new ones.
A double column layout behaves as expected, it’s just this three column one that seems to misbehave. I seem to have tried every combination of floats and clears within the layout but to no avail.
If anyone needs to look at the original Freeway file, let me know and I’ll post a link.
Thanks.

I’m experiencing somewhat of the same. If I add a text element into an inline layout in a div floated left, I can’t then edit that text.
If I remove the float on the div, I can access the webyep element.

Ian,
Have you had any luck with this? I had to get my job done, so I needed up using a table and a loop…seems anytime I floated a div left or right the text element was unusable in the web yep edit mode.
While not ideal, the table layout seems to work.

No luck as yet Rich - fortunately it’s not too time sensitive and I’m away for the next 7 days in any case, so that will allow me to come back at it with a fresh head… hopefully!

Hi guys,
Just been reading your posts above and have popped down a way of finding out if it is a conflict or construction issue.
99% of the time its an other action which adds javascript to the page and in turn is clashing with Webyep or the loop has been constructed incorrectly.
I would start with seeing if it is a conflict issue. The easiest way to pinpoint the this is to quickly recreate the page without any other action and check via MAMP that the loop works correctly, if it does then there is a conflict. To track this down apply each none webyep action one by one checking each time to see if the loop is functioning. At some point you’ll come across the offending action which clashes and you can go from there.
If the loop doesn’t work when all other none webyep actions are removed then it is a constructional problem, re-look on how you applied each loop element to make sure its correct.
If everything is as it should be then please get in touch, I would need to see how you have created the artwork so i can pin it down.
Over the last 6 years I have only ever come across 2 or 3 cases where there was not a constructional error or conflicting action and these have all be sorted out and are no longer issues.
The chances are it is either a conflict or in the construction, if you do not get any further with this after the above please feel free to get in touch and i can look at the freeway page artwork and sort out the issue 
Best Regards
Max

Looks like I was just constructing my inline layout wrong. I need to set my right hand div float to right,(it was set as none) as soon as I did that the rich text element in the left hand div became editable.

Just back from holiday, so I’ll investigate your suggestions Max - thanks for your reply and interest. I’ll let you know how things progress.

It looks like it is probably constructional. I removed all the non Webyep actions and still got the same behaviour.
The Freeway file is downloadable from here:

The relevant Freeway pages are:

Fear of Bicycles
I’ve tried several different construction methods, each with differing floats and clears, to no avail so far though.
Many thanks Max.

Hi Ian
I had a look at your artwork an unfortunately it is a constructional issue. If you look at the way you have added items you will see that you have added the webyep loop start as an inline in a div called loop-start-box but there is nothing after it (as an inline item). A loop start and loop end must encompass everything you want to be repeated, and at the moment loop start and loop end are separate. To give a visual idea, technically you should be able to highlight everything in the loop including the WY loop start and loop end as if it were a bit of text.
If this still doesn’t make sense to you then let me know and I will knock you a simple sample.
cheers max

Hi Max - I’ve got the layout to a state that looks OK to me, but still no joy I’m afraid.
If I delete the div named ‘Right-hand-box’ positioned to the right of the looping section, the looping behaves as expected, but as soon as I paste this div back in… the section no longer adds new loops.
The page I’ve worked on is the Graham-Graham-Beck page in the Freeway document, and the document is available here:

Hi Ian something very odd is going on with your example…
can you give me a bit of time there is some sort of clash because if I start to disable things the loop starts to work so just give me today to look at it.

Hi Max - sorry to bother you, but do you have any more info on this problem? If it looks like it might take a while to sort I can temporarily go to a two column layout for the affected pages.
Many thanks,

I have tried to track down what is causing it and I just cant find it
it is something to do with the construction but hat it is I cant actually pin it down
there are a load of inline items with other inline items with again more inline items and its may be something to do with that but as I said I cant pin it down
for the moment can you try using 2 columns table and see if it works
speak soon max

Curiouser and curiouser…
Now the two column layout doesn’t work. I have copied the ‘content’ section layout from an existing and fully working page, renamed or added the necessary WebYep action items so as not to lose any copy and/or images, and now I find the loop stops responding as the 3 column layout did.
If I start deleting WebYep items from the right hand column, looping seems to start working again when the column depth of the content in the left column exceeds that in the right column. Whether this is actually the case or it’s merely co-incidence… hmmmmm.

Hi guys,
havin’ had look in it and just wondered:
First I thought: the construction. It is a little bit adventurous but I don’t think the issue. I corrected it, no go. Then I deleted (by accident) the header and realized after removing it, that the loop works.
I don’t know why, but the css-menu seems to conflict with whatever. It is not helpful for the moment but deleting this, made the loop work. I rebuilt the menu step by step and it still seems to work.
Quick tipp:
If you make a .menustyle, leave the color out cause this is usually served by the action.
BTW:
Tim or Joe if you have a look at this. In my german version, if I try to enter 10.75em it automagically converts this in 10,75em which is wrong as far as I know. I have this dot, comma issue since years and in other actions as well.
Cheers
