I think this stems from before then. They mentioned an IE8 alert box that comes up warning customers of security problems, so that is what they were going to fix, and it got me thinking about how they maintained the links on people's sites what with the pulling the pages in, then I thought ahh, they must be adding a base href tag, but since the problem has come up, I guess not.
They'll be a fix this evening which will published int he add-ins section at some time in the future.

o right maybe it does stem from earlier on then.
Im not sure that pulling in pages is the best way forward espec if they are not pulling in styles and images......its even a pretty simple fix for them.
Ok well i will look forward to seeing the fix.
Hope it isnt going to be too hard to do!
It'll be an install and go, if I get it right first time and if I don't find anything when I look through the historical archives of the releases that suggest there may be something else at work.
Philip
good luck
Hi Philip and Ooba_Scott,
Well done so far, looks like other people will be noticing the problem sooner or later.
I have nothing more useful to add apart from I know I still get the problem in IE7, IE8, Firefox, Opera and the only pages that do not contain the <base href="...."> tag in the source code are the ones from Worldpay. As you say the only place it appears in Zen cart is at /includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php I tried "shuvving" the tag in various files but only made matters worse.
I would assume that if the <base href> tag is being passed to Worldpay but does not appear in the source code, perhaps they have some way of filtering it out?
I await a solution and am of course willing to try it out as soon as possible. What worries me is that even if there is a cure now, Worldpay will mess it up further down the line...:clap:
I am going to need version numbers of zen cart and I am going to need copies of shop pages saved when the URL displayed in the toolbar is at worldpay because I have examined the code and it's based on solid ZC foundations, where the base href is defined by default. If you do not have a base href it may be one of two things
- that you have a non standard template that needs one adding to it.
- that worldpay is stripping it out for some reason.
Your zen cart default template is called
and should have the line in itCode:includes/templates/template_default/common/html_header.php
If you are using the default ZC template then wordpay is stripping the base href out for some unknown reason. If however you are using someone's template, it may be that the designer has not put the code in a cusomised header, in which case you will need to find your header file. I can't tell you where this will be as it would depend on your directory structure and the template name, but it will be called html_header.phpCode:<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ); ?>" />
There will not be a version 2.11 released because of these reports, because there is nothing I can do. In situation 1) it would be up to you to check that you have the base href code in situ in case 2) it will be up to you complain to worldpay.
I would like to see a posting on this forum detailing which scenario it tunred out to be though
best of luck

Hello Philip. I only know a little php, I am better at xhtml but I am now pretty sure Worldpay is stripping out the base href tag. When I can I will contact them, though I would hope someone else will as well, they may take notice then.
I can let you know privately one of my domains so you can look at the code coming back if you wish or I can paste the "Thank you" page to you privately.
I did copy the html_header.php into the common folder in the template I have been using but it made no difference. Whatever template I use, I get the problem.
The base href tag is still on the last page before you are taken to the Worldpay page and I imagine the code is passed to them? It is very frustrating and makes the module basically unusable so they need to do something about it if it is their end. Peter:smile:
Have you added a comment in the html something like
just to make sure that you are editing the correct header file and also as more "evidence", because sorry guys but you are on your own on this one. The module is working fine and is referencing the correct default ZC file structure and this is not something the module can override (otherwise it'd bugger everyone's template modifications).HTML Code:<!-- oi world pay pay attention -->
Philip.
Just been on the phone to technical support ( who really wernt techincal) struggled with the term stylesheets and styles
They are not quite sure why it isnt picking up the styles, but it could have somehting to do with the changes they are trying to implement.....but she coldnt give me a time frame when they will be finished. She said they were still in test mode.....so who knows.
They are going to test my site and keep me updated, but im not going to hold my breath on them fixing it.....
