"ZenCart Zen" Template Support

[notageek]

I disabled the banner and still get the same 4 errors on each of the two pages I tried.

It seems like I should add a closing body tag somewhere.

I just re-uploaded includes/templates/zencart_zen/common/tpl_main_page.php, although it was exactly the same size and date as the file on the site.

Re-validation still shows the 4 errors.

[notageek]

Okay, I see the date of that file is 3/20 and the date of the no error validation was 3/13/10.

I also see that I added a google analytics item to this file, so that the bottom of the common/tpl_main_page.php looks like this:

<!--eof- banner #6 display -->
<?php
require($template->get_template_dir('.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'google_analytics') . '/google_analytics.php');
?>
</body>

This seems like the next thing to examine. I will try to investigate what that Google Analytics comment should look like. I do not see an extra space anywhere. I'm not sure what to try next.

Thanks for taking a look. Assuming that is the source of the problem, I will let you know if I find out what is wrong. Thanks.

Try removing the </body> from there and re-validate.

Remember, Always BACKUP your files and DB before making any changes!

Still working on problem.

Removing </body> made no difference, nor did removing the testing mode of Authorize.net.

I found no open <div> tags either; although there was a <div id=main wrapper> code on line 28 of the tpl_main_page without an immediate closing tag, the closing tag did occur further on at line 97.

I have added 2 ez-pages since the 100% validation of 3/13 before I added the Simple Google Analytics module, and I do not see any unclosed html pairs in those. I do see, however, that, while I commented out a line to prevent sanitization of the & so &amp could be used in one of my define pages (which allowed validation), I am still seeing sanitization of the ampersand in the ez-page that has internal links, causing it to revert back to &.

I posted a question as to why the </body> tag would not show in the view source page http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...799#post877799.

I also asked where the </html> code would be found, so I could check that page.

I found the solution, and posted it in the Simple Google Analytics Support thread, at Post #1245. I'm not sure if the link will work but I think the link to that post is here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...774#post885774

Clyde, I really appreciate your tolerance for questions like mine from the uninformed, even when they are not strictly pertaining to your template.

Clyde,

In the process of working with this template on a new site, I upgraded the template of my www.riverfrontsouth.com on my WAMP localhost test site which is offline. It replaced my header.php with the template header, and placed the centerbox and right sideboxes (except the words "privacy notice") at the bottom of my site below the left sideboxes. If you want to see this I will be happy to have you Mikogo in to my home computer. I will most likely just uninstall the upgrade unless I find out how to fix this otherwise.

Thanks for the nice template. It really is my favorite.

If you want to use your own header graphic etc., just copy those files to the appropriate zencart_zen folder(s).

[notageek]

Okay. I had done an upgrade, and I was thinking it would not replace code already altered. I will compare the files to see if I can just replace the file with what I had before, or need to manually insert the changes one by one.

Could you also suggest how would I get the site content in the centerbox and right sideboxes back to the top of the page instead of at the bottom of the left sideboxes? There is a huge white space until the end of the left sideboxes.

I tried increasing and reducing page size but the problem persists.

Thanks.

for this site www. riverfrontsouth. com?

If not without seeing it I really can't give you a solution.

This white space problem is on my WAMP test server offline.

Well, this morning I see the obvious answer is that I have not upgraded my site to 1.3.9.

The uninstall would of course remove the template entirely, so
I will just either restore my test site from a backup or tackle the Zen Cart upgrade. I assume I should restore, do the upgrade, then upgrade the template, then replace the header.php file, in that order.

However, if the template upgrade will add the lines around the various sideboxes, I might prefer to leave the www.riverfrontsouth.com site as is.

Will the old 1.3.8 template continue to work with 1.3.9 without the upgrade of the Zencart_Zen template?

If not, how would I remove the outlines for each box to get that "soft," less delineated look?

Or, if they seem okay, will those outlines also appear on the banners which at present do not have outlines?

Thanks.
