My Problem is:
When I work on the main page or the ez-page and I go to source, there are a lot of extra stuff added that I did not put there.
This happens every time.
things like 4 or 5 </font> or </strong>
or even it will fill in an http:www that I have added to link a picture with a page.
But when I leave source to look at the web page, and then return to source, there are even more added things like <p> etc.
every new line will have added to it the http:www page that I only put on one picture.
How can I stop the zen cart from adding these extra symbols?
It makes my page look a total mess. And when I clean it up, and look back at source they are automatically put back in.
Help me please turn off this function.
Thank you Cordia

How can I change the extra symbols added when editing EZ pages?
Salutations
The problem I am having, is when ever I work in Vile Manager and change the main page or the ez pages, there seems to be a automatic add extra symbols attached to the pages.
Example.
I might change a image, but when I push source, I find that the page now has many new items like 5 </fonts> in a row, or </strong> over and over added to the line.
Also if I add a link to my image for example, when I click source, it will now have that link added to every line of my page.
And I have to go clean them out of there, but when I check source again it is right back in place.
Is there an auto correct that I can remove, in the admin setup?
Please Help
Thank you Sweetshi

Re: How can I change the extra symbols added when editing EZ pages?
Are you working in your server file manager? THat has been reported to corrupt files (as you are apparently finding out).
The best way to edit a file is to FTP it to your home computer, edit in a text editor like Notepad++ or CrimsonEditor (both free from Sourceforge), and FTP back to your server.
This takes some setting up, but once you have it going, it can be very fast to edit and re-edit a file, testing each time.

Re: How can I change the extra symbols added when editing EZ pages?
You can turn off the HTML editor by choosing "Plain Text" from the editors list on your EZ Pages screen, and you can set your default preference for editor in Admin->Configuration->My Store->HTML Editor (set it to NONE or Plain Text). Then the next time you login to your admin that should be selected by default. You'll have to write all your HTML by hand then.

Re: How can I change the extra symbols added when editing EZ pages?
You can use your FTP client to upload the image files to wherever you want them on the server. What are you using for FTP?
I don't use an HTML editor, so can't comment on loading files with what you have running in your ZC admin.

Re: How can I change the extra symbols added when editing EZ pages?
I sometimes use an external HTML editor to compose the content of defined pages and EZpages, as I like the benefits of using a more sophisticated wysiwyg interface during the design procedures.
When I am happy with the result, I toggle to source mode in the wysiwyg editor and copy the code only between the <body> and </body> tags.
I also create new style classes and ID's during this process, making sure that the names I give them do not conflict with any that ZC already uses. Then I copy those, with their associated declarations, to the stylesheet.css file.
Because EZPages and Defined Pages rely on the default header in ZC, the existing <base href="xxxxxxxx" /> means I use RELATIVE paths to the images. To assist in the design on the wysiwyg editor, I strip in that <base href> into the header of the page, so that the program calls the images from the live server while I work on the design. This does require that I first FTP the images to the folder on the server so that the relative paths are referencing the proper images.
Again, when I'm happy with the result, I grab the HTML, and then "paste" it into HTMLArea (after toggling to HTML mode).

Re: How can I change the extra symbols added when editing EZ pages?
Filezilla is a highly recommended (and free) FTP client that you can get from www.sourceforge.net.
Images for your template should go in /includes/templates/your_template/images/ .
Content images can go in the basic /images/ folder, or a new one like /images/ezpages/, or wherever you want - just keep them organized.Last edited by gjh42; 1 Apr 2009 at 11:20 PM.
