Winter '07 Release Triggers Spanning Feed Builder Display Bug

Two of Salesforce.com's North American servers are now live with the Winter '07 release, which has triggered a display bug in Spanning Feed Builder. This bug does now affect Spanning Salesforce feed users.

I'm working with the folks at Salesforce to see if we can apply a fix without requiring our users to uninstall and reinstall the Spanning Feed Builder application. In the mean time, here's an effective (if somewhat awkward) workaround.

The user interface should look like this:

If you've installed Spanning Feed Builder in your Salesforce instance and are live on Winter '07, your Feeds tab probably looks like this:

To restore the tab to its previous look and feel, perform the following steps as an admin:

1. Click "Setup" in the upper-right corner of your Salesforce.com window
2. Choose "Exchange", and "Installed Apps" from the left-hand sidebar
3. "Packages Installed from AppExchange", click on "Spanning Feed Builder 1.2"
4. Under "Package Items" click on "Feed Builder"
5. Click "Edit"
6. In the "Content" field, replace these two lines:

   <link href="/dCSS/common.css" type="text/css" media="handheld,print,projection,screen,tty,tv" rel="stylesheet" >
<link href="/dCSS/custom.css" type="text/css" media="handheld,print,projection,screen,tty,tv" rel="stylesheet" >

   with these:

   <link href="/dCSS/Theme2/en/common.css" type="text/css" media="handheld,print,projection,screen,tty,tv" rel="stylesheet" >
<link href="/dCSS/Theme2/en/custom.css" type="text/css" media="handheld,print,projection,screen,tty,tv" rel="stylesheet" >


7. Click "Save"

Obviously this isn't an optimal fix. I'll post a more elegant solution as soon as we have it.
