Publishing problems...

Robouk · 22nd November 2002, 21:44

Sorry, I realise how irritating this question will be but im lost.

when I tried to publish my skin I got the following errors:

ERROR: ** SAXParser Exception, line 769, uri null Next character must be ">" terminating comment .
ERROR: Validation result: false

Any ideas what the problem is? the .WAL is here:

In system-elements.xml, change:

to:


Or just take it out entirely. I think the XML parser they use to test skins prevents you from commenting out two lines together, they have to be done separately.

Thanks very much Frisbee monkey, i'll give that a try.

=D

No luck,
now its saying about the next line:

ERROR: ** SAXParser Exception, line 768, uri null Next character must be ">" terminating comment .

Robouk · 23rd November 2002, 12:19

When I take the whole part out entirely, the error moves to a new line:

** SAXParser Exception, line 764, uri null Next character must be ">" terminating comment .

Commented out code have to be done for each individual line, like this.





Thought all commented out codes like that were removed.

Yay for Vica!

/me downloads the skin and makes coding adjustments

It works!! Hurray! That 'Black Shock | Orange' color scheme is rather sexy

Great job Robouk and Vica! One of the best skins yet, for sure!

Anyone got any ideas what the problem is? I really want to get this skin published.
thanks...

now that you are talkin about publishing errors i published a skin and it as some errors but frisbeemonkey hekped me with that and when it finally passed with no errors it stayed in the unpublished area and was never published. probably you will know what happened.

Good news, it passes the validator! I can't tell you exactly what I changed(as I was making changes one at a time, but on a dial-up connection it is a pain uploading after each change, so I made a bunch of changes at once) Some things off the top of my head: fixed comments, deleted studio-config.xml(no longer used), removed two lines from elements.xml(you didn't have the images they referenced, and you never used them in the code) and changed Elements to elements in one of the files.
Righto, you don't care how it was done. You can get the modified wal here and send the monetary contributions here.

Really appreciated, I can finally submit this skin to winamp.com =)
