Sideboxes gone from right side on main page only

[gjh42]

I don't see anything missing. Did you fix it already?

I saw the right column and footer are missing from the product info pages. Did you make any changes recently, like to the tpl_product_info_display.php? Compare any changes you made with an old backup using winmerge. The corrupt code is usually a simple typo, like a missing ";" or "?>".

Sorry, need to select a product and then it starts messing up...
Here's a new link...

Cheers

That's the trouble with simply saying "I have the same problem as this old post..." - we may take you at your word and look at the home page (the subject of the previous problems). Your view source cuts off after

<!--eof also purchased products module-->

so look around there in tpl_product_info_display.php for starters, as slomojojo mentioned.

Thanks for the advise on where to find error.
Did a compare and found

<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_modules_xsell_products.php', DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/' . 'tpl_modules_xsell_products.php');
?>

at the bottom of tpl_product_info_display.php
Removed that part, as at some stage I must have messed up a xsell module, and so far so good....

Cheers!

Hi
I seem to have the same kind of problem, that the side right boxes and footer disappear on the home page, but only when i create a special offer on a product, ive checked tpl_product_info_display.php and all looks ok, any idea's where else i should be looking?

Ive never used the special offer part before, so dont know when any of the changes made to templates and overrides may have effected it

website is www.real-racer.co.uk

thanks

Andy

I have the same problem with www.robertocigars.com

First page NO RIGHT SIDE BOXES. All the rest have both and are correct...


I know little to nothing about the code stuff...

how do I find what's wrong and fix it?

[gjh42]

The home page looks ok now (in Firefox). Did you fix it?

I temporarily fixed it.

I found that what caused the problem was when I tried to paste in the code required to have the site linked into a webring. The webring site said to cut the code generated and paste it into the bottom of the webpage. I had never done anything like that before so I just cut the code, opened the main page in the editor, switched to HTML view and pasted the following on the end of the last charater in the last line after the <p>:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="http://ss.webring.com/navbar?f=j;y=agentx42;u=200081567"></script></p><center>Powered by <a href="http://dir.webring.com/rw" target="_top">WebRing</a>.</center><!--optional--><noscript />

The link came up fine buy the right margin info disappeared. When I went back in and cut it out after reading this string it all went back to the way it should be so I am assuming the problem is with this.

Should I put this into the page another way? Need something before ot after it?

Thanks for the help
