I goofed, now the storefront page is empty

**bjjohns** · 25 Dec 2009, 07:31 PM

OK, so I goofed, and now my storefront page is empty. I am using Zencart 1.3.8a with the Rustic template, and Image Handler. I had all of this working well together. I edited my product descriptions. When I went to look at the storefront, I had a blank page.

I reviewed the forums, and someone mentioned that double quotes in a description can cause this behavior. I went back in and deleted them, but still an utterly empty index page.

http://www.b4boots.com/store

Any thoughts?

I have done the debug tool, however it is not actually writing a debug file. I do have the cache set to writable.

I created the folder store/includes/local and added the configure.php for strict reporting. Still nothing. I am contemplating adding the strict reporting true to the index.php file, since I had to create that '/local' folder.

I will keep poking around.

OK, I tried adding the "strict_reporting_true" to the index.php file, since its the ONLY file I know is actually being called. Still nothing. And the debug tool still has not generated a output file.

Unless anyone has a better suggestion, I think my best option is to delete the store, and the mysql data, and rebuild from scratch.

Have you made any changes to includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php?

**bjjohns** · 26 Dec 2009, 05:33 AM

Yes, I did, but well after the store disappeared. Here is what I did:

Code:

define('TITLE', 'B4 Boots');

// Site Tagline
define('SITE_TAGLINE', 'Equine Hoof Boots - Made in the USA');

// Custom Keywords
define('CUSTOM_KEYWORDS', 'equine, donkey, mule, shop, hoof, boot, online shopping');

// Home Page Only:
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION', 'B4 Boots online storefront');
  define('HOME_PAGE_META_KEYWORDS', 'equine, donkey, mule, shop, hoof, boot, online shopping');

The reason I asked is because if I try to view the source on the page, all I see is:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

If I do the same for one of my sites, I get much more. This is just part of the source:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en">
<head>
<title>The Fan Odyssey Store</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Event shirts Photos Photo CDs ecommerce, open source, shop, online shopping " />
<meta name="description" content="The Fan Odyssey Store :  - Event shirts Photos Photo CDs ecommerce, open source, shop, online shopping" />

Since the page title isn't in the source, I asked about meta_tags.php because that's where it should come from.

I don't even get that much when I view source in firefox, I do get that in IE. I normally work in firefox, for the web editing and error validation tools.

I'll keep looking for awhile, but I am still am contemplating a delete and re-start. I can't find a valid reason for it disappearing, as I hadn't changed any PHP files when the site disappeared.

Can you pull up a product page or are they wiped out too?

I can get nothing on the store side, yet everything is fine on the admin side. I started doing a directory by directory comparison of a fresh 1.3.8a install set and my store. After sleeping on it, I bet I mis-copied something somewhere.
