Colored "Date Published field missing in 2.5 (worked in 1.5)

Another difference between 1.5 versus 2.5

The colored Date Published field is missing in 2.5. In 1.5 it works as expected. Please see attached screenshot. The blue square with the date (12 aug) doesn't appear.

Clean Joomla 2.5 install, Clean AppSite 2.5 install
You can test this at my testsite:

Please make following correction which will also stop other css errors you were having.
Find File: \templates\gk_appsite\css\joomla.css
Find Line: 110 which is below

Code: Select all

.img-fulltext-right .img_caption { margin: 0!important; }


Check and make sure closing bracket is there ( "}" ). Thank you.

See you around...

Hurray! You ROCK!

We have a breakthrough!
Yes indeed, there is a "}" missing on line 110.

First solution that made progress towards an error free template!

The colored squares are there but....
The template is set to the color green, and the squares are blue:

You do not have to fix it for me, I know how to deal with the CSS code for it, but I think it's worth fixing it because other users will have the same problems as I have. I only did clean installs and change what you guys prescribe.

Still wondering that nobody detected these errors before....
There must be similar bugs, easy to solve, that solve all my problems with this template.

Thank you!
Highly appreciated

Yes it solved a few, but not all. Maybe there are more bugs like these?

No problem at all.

See you around...

YES!
You hit the jackpot.

That solved the color issue.
You're an expert.

Although I am pretty sure it has nothing to do with my Joomla skills, started to question myself...
So happy to see solutions.

Thank you.

No problem at all.

See you around...
