right side boxes are not showing on homepage

**busymum** · 16 Dec 2009, 05:25 PM

I have set the global settings for both right and left side boxes (columns) to show. The left side boxes are showing up on all pages.

But the right side boxes are only showing up when I click on a product. I want them to show up on the homepage and all other pages too. Please help. Thanks.

Could we see a link to your site?

http://www.pbdriedfruit.co.uk/

if you click on 'dried fruit' you'll see the side boxes show up on the right.

I have also noticed that the contact us page and shipping etc. seems to be wrong. It doesn't have the contact form or the footer. What could be the problem there?

Something wrong with a redirect, maybe? When I click on Homepage, everything seems to be OK, and on the other pages after that.

Oh sorry. the site is http://www.pbdriedfruit.co.uk/ I've taken the link off that goes to the other site.

On the homepage, there is no right side column. But when I click on a product, then I see the right side column. I want the right side column to show on every page.

Did you check Admin>Website Maintenance:

Is your Down for Maintenance: Hide Column Right set to True or False?

Your homepage output is cutting off immediately after

<div id="indexDefaultMainContent" class="content">

The same thing is happening on your Privacy page and most likely the rest.

<div id="privacyDefaultMainContent" class="content">

So your problem is probably with the file that processes *DefaultMainContent.
/includes/templates/your_template/templates/tpl_index_default.php does this:

PHP Code:


<?php
/**
 * get the Define Main Page Text
 */
?>
<div id="indexDefaultMainContent" class="content"><?php require($define_page); ?></div>

If the require is corrupted, or $define_page contains corrupted/incorrect information, that would explain it.

Actually, since the id="indexDefaultMainContent" is hardcoded in that file, the problem has to be in the variable the file calls. The privacy index file would call the same variable.
