Two login boxes - only should be one

[jhbs]

Hi there, i installed the add on which lets me put the login box on the left side below the categories.

However on IE it shows two sets of login controls, but on FF and Chrome there is only one.

My site is www.whatevernextonline.com can anybody help?

And you only see one in the Admin, correct?

[jhbs]

yeah, i added the login side box add-on, set it up, and as i said on FF its just one box - cant work it out!

You actually have 2 in all browsers check the View Source ...

The difference is some are hearing the HTML comments and not displaying the second one and other browsers are not "hearing" the HTML commented code because of how things are constructed ...

Now you just have to find where you have that commented code and why it is loading ...

any idea where to start? i have used teh login side box add in to get this, i have looked at all the files and still cant make it out. im lost!

Go to your Admin ... Layout Box Controller ... how many listings do you see for the Login Box?

Switch to Classic Template ... does this change anything?

[jhbs]

no there is only one login box that i turn on, changing the template does not work either

Go to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... in your Admin and in the bottom input box enter:
loginboxContent

and select Catalog ... and click Search ...

What filename(s) comes up?

[jhbs]

it comes up with nothing, cant find any files. I used the add in to put my login on the side box, when i look in Tool > layout box controller the login box controller that i use is sideboxes/login_box.php

i dont know if this helps?

The best that I can tell you is that you have the code for 2 login boxes loading ...

The second set of code is commented out ...

Unfortunately, the method used to comment out the second set of code is half working and some browsers show the code as comments in the source and others show it as the "2nd Login Box" ...

Without physically going to your site and finding this code and where this is happening ... I can only tell you to do the View Source and keep searching for peices of code until you locate this or start going through your files to find this commented peice of code that is making the double login sidebox ...
