Disappearing Text Box

[Ajeh]

tcustomgolf,

What are all of these stylesheets that you load? The /css directory is auto loading and it looks like you have a lot of extra stylesheets in there that could be causing issues ...

[tcustomgolf]

I did answer most of the questions in your post before the above, with the exception of if it had worked before....and I don't know because this was the first time I tried the "display only" attribute.

I know some of the stylesheets are for mods, like the lightbox and un_classic (for the wishlist mod). But I think I do remember trying to delete the stylesheet-old.css and it causing problems with my site. So is anything in that dir autoloading? I thought naming it -old will not let it load.

So, port/update whatever is in the -old stylesheet to stylesheet.css and then delete stylesheet-old.css?

- Still doesn't work
- This is the first time I've tested it, so I'm not sure
- Zen Cart 1.7.3.1, from official site
- Clean install
- Followed install instructions
- No upgrade yet

What happens if you switch to Classic Template?

Has this ever worked for you?

What version Zen Cart and from where?

Clean install or an upgrade?

How did you install?

How did you upgrade?

tcustomgolf,

I cannot repeat this with any combinations ...

Renaming a stylesheet is difficult for non-loading ... usually something like:
OLD_stylesheetname.css_OLD will keep it from loading and conflicting ...

Do a view source to see all the stylesheets that are loading ...

crimson090,

What happens if you switch to the Classic template? Does it start working for you?

Nope, still the same problem unfortunately!

I renamed the .old stylesheet per Ajeh's post, so it no longer shows auto-loading. Also renamed all stylesheets that are loading, one by one, including the default "stylesheet.css" so they do not auto-load, and box still disappears.

Per one of my earlier posts, after a fresh install got it working, I imported my existing db into the fresh install and the box disappeared. Could something in the db be causing this?

crimson090, I noticed the link you included earlier is working. The description box remains. Anything you did to correct?

Hey, you're right! I didn't even notice! Very odd. I believe I only made two changes to my product page recently:

1) Changed the size and number of attribute images displayed each row. I doubt this had anything to do with it.

2) I had two "Add to Cart" buttons, one of which was above all of my attribute fields. I removed this due to other reasons, but I wonder if that might have been effecting it? I checked your product page though and didn't see that button anywhere above your attributes, so I'm not sure what might be causing the problem on your site.

Thanks crimson....if you do figure out what it was, please post. Still thinking it could be something database related as it went kaput as soon as I loaded my clean install with my db.

I will search some more for an answer, but unfortunately will have to forgo this feature until 1.3.8 comes out and I can do a clean upgrade.

I realize this is a very old thread, however, I have yet to find a fix posted to solve this issue and have found a number of people asking.

The problem stems from a database issue that occurs on some installs of third party mods. Some of them inadvertently deleted a few records from the db, and that is the cause of the problem. To correct the mysterious disappearing text box on zen cart run the following lines of code from within your Admin (SQL Patches) area.

If you get "duplicate" error messages just disregard. It means that a line or two of those being inerted was already present (which is ok) in the db.

Run this and you should see the boxes stay put on the page now.

INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Product option type Select', 'PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT', '0', 'The number representing the Select type of product option.', 0, NULL, '2007-03-19 17:57:39', '2007-03-19 17:57:39', NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Upload prefix', 'UPLOAD_PREFIX', 'upload_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between upload options and other options', 0, NULL, '2007-03-19 17:57:39', '2007-03-19 17:57:39', NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Text prefix', 'TEXT_PREFIX', 'txt_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between text option values and other option values', 0, NULL, '2007-03-19 17:57:39', '2007-03-19 17:57:39', NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES ('', 'Image Handler Version', 'IH_VERSION', '2.0', 'This is used by image handler to check if the database is up to date with uploaded image handler files.', 0, 100, NULL, '2007-06-06 16:47:03', NULL, 'zen_cfg_textarea_small(');
