Hide Catagories Module Immediate help please!

I need to know when instaling any of the modules when it says YOUR_Template which one do i use Classic or Default Template. Very confused!

Mod files always go in your custom template folders. If you are using the Classic template, that would be the folder to use.
But you should look at the tutorials for creating your own template, copied from /classic/ if you like that as a starting point.

/template_default/ is the complete set of basic template files, and you never use that as a template by itself, nor should you ever edit a file directly in a /template_default/ folder; copy it to your custom template folders and edit there.

:D Have you ever taken your car to a mechanic after hearing a strange noise, and when you ask him what's wrong he screws up his face, grimaces and looks at you in a funny way?

You kinda know the repair is going to be EXPENSIVE ! :shocking:

Fortunately, there are few (if any) car mechanics on this forum...

Those errors indicate a bad or corrupted file - probably damaged during the FTP process.

I think the culprit file is ._hideCategories.php

Where does the ._ come from?

My version of that mod does not have ._hideCategories.php , only hideCategories.php

DELETE: ._hideCategories.php from your server and FTP that file again..

Try uploading the files again. Don't run the sql patch again because the database is a separate issue - probably not afected as these errors don't suggest a dbase error.

LOL You are wonderful. I am trying now!

I'm going to tactfully suggest that before you dive headlong into the process of installing add-ons to your site, you learn how to use backup features - particularly the database, which is a "fragile" bit of kit that does not take kindly to excessive tampering.

Reparing file-based errors is quite straight forward, but fixing a corrupted database is the one area of your site that will result in "car mechanic" consequences.

Your host may provide a database backup feature... learn how to use it and always do a backup before running any SQL patches...

I actual took the fils out figuring it was th ecluprit and it was. But when i reinstalled them i get teh same error message! I will have to redownload the main file from the site and reinstall all of it. But i no wesite up at the moment running the debug again to find. :blink:

By the way... I trust you are aware that this module DOES NOT WORK on PHP version 5 and above...

What version of PHP is on your server?

I quess the mechanics forgot to take thier tools with them or a great Big bug crawled in lolol.:flex: I'll get them!!!

Thank you ,

Got it! All Better NOW!!! :P

I had a look at the site and tried the shopping basket and yes... it did add to cart, even though I have no idea what your products are, or what they do... (is it makeup of some kind?)

I think your header logo is far, far too big. It takes AGES to load and on my widescreen monitors it occupies the entire screen. In order for me to see your products, I have to scroll on every new page... This is extremely irritating! A header logo should be no more than 100 pixels deep.

The huge online retailers (Amazon) have a branded header logo that is only 30 or 40 pixels deep... Yours is a massive FOUR HUNDRED pixels - ten times deeper!

Also... your images look grainy and poor quality. Consider using Image Handler to get them looking sharper and cleaner.

(I'd really like to know what your products are for... I just can't make it out...)
