red asterisk showing as tiny box in Bootstrap3 theme

Hi,

When I select Bootstrap3 theme, there is a tiny red box instead of an asterisk on the requiring fields in the form. If I select another theme, I get the asterisk.

I would like to use Bootstrap3 because it's the only one that makes the form look good. How do I get the asterisk back?

thanks,
JC

Hi JC,

Please try to download the latest v5 update and install it OVER yours!

I was having the same issue with the asterisk showing up as little red boxes (and not at all in IE) with the Bootstrap 3 them so I downloaded and installed the latest version. It has made no difference. Any thoughts?

Thank you.

Hi ecroson,

I think that the CFv5 asterisk is loaded from FontAwsome - it may be that the resource needed isn't loading on your site. If you check with your browser web developer tools you should see this file being loaded

I see that font is loaded. I checked the GCoreUI, Bootstrap 3, and Pure Bootstrap 3 to be sure. Here's the css I get for that one:

/*!
 *  Font Awesome 4.2.0 by @davegandy - http://fontawesome.io - @fontawesome
 *  License - http://fontawesome.io/license (Font: SIL OFL 1.1, CSS: MIT License)
 */@font-face{font-family:'FontAwesome';src:url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?v=4.2.0');src:url('../fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot?#iefix&v=4.2.0')

The last line goes on and on and on....

If my template framework is out of date, could this be an issue? And I know this isn't related to anything "Chrono" but can you tell me what the difference is between a template framework and the template itself? I have put off updating either to the latest versions because the last time I did, they had moved some of the module positions around and it no longer accommodated some of our needs. I don't know if just updating the framework would change any of that.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can test this with a different theme (the Joomla default theme) and check if it fixes the issue, if it does then its a problem with your theme.

you can also post a link to the form so we can check it, either here or by PM

Hi,

It's happening again, this time on a Joomla 3.4.X website. Doesn't matter what style I use, Bootstrap 3 or otherwise... red box comes up instead of asterisk.

As you can see here: http://tintedwindowshades.com/samples

It's strange though, because it was working. All I can think that is different is I added a second form. Yes... I believe that is a clue. Now both forms are showing the red box.

Hi JC,

Please check the error message in the console:
samples:1 Font from origin 'http://www.tintedwindowshades.com' has been blocked from loading by Cross-Origin Resource Sharing policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://tintedwindowshades.com' is therefore not allowed access.

Do you have $livesite set in ht eSite Global Configuration - that can cause problems with www. - if it is set, please try removing it.

Bob

thanks.

live site is set to "http://www.tintedwindowshades.com"

should I set it to null, or just remove the "www"?

Note however that on another site, which is very similar to this site but has just one form instead of two, and live site is set similarly, there is no problem w/ the asterisk.

thx,
JC

Hi JC,

Just leave the setting empty

public $live_site = '';

That way it should work with or without the www.

Bob

thanks, that solved the problem.
