all products page says "more products coming soon" instead of products

[Linda in NY]

Hi all,

I'm not a code person and don't know a thing about php coding. I have an issue with my site. The new products page and all products page load but it says, more products will be added soon and check back later. Same thing with my new products page.

I have about 1100 products on the site, and recently added about 40 in the past 3 weeks so both these pages should show something.
Google is telling me those are all error pages with soft 404's.

My error log shows this - Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/cocomilk/public_html/shoppingcart/myadminfoldername/template_select.php on line 190

I recently added a new template everything else is working great From forums I've read here this code could be the problem and I tried the classic template and it's the same problem there.

Below is the code from that area of the file. I was hoping someone could help me out if this is indeed my problem.



<?php
if($template_img_array == true){
foreach($template_select_val['screenshot'] as $screen_shot){
echo zen_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_TEMPLATE . $key . '/images/' .$screen_shot, $key, 699).'<br/>';
}
}
else{
echo zen_image($template_select_img, $key, 699);
}
?>

Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions, I appreciate it,
Linda

Please refer to the "Posting Tips" and answer those questions, it will help us help you.

That said, you didn't mention your version of Zen Cart but neither v1.5.1 nor v1.5.3 ship with a template_select.php that has even one foreach statement!

Sorry I will go read that now. I have version v1.3.9e

Wouldn't you know, v1.3.9e is one that I don't have unzipped on my local system. On the other hand, the template_select.php that ships with v1.3.9f (unchanged from v1.3.9c) doesn't have a foreach statement in it either.

Apparently, some plugin/add-on that you've installed has made modifications to that file.

Thank you for looking into it. The cart was working great until I added the mod for Responsive All Business Template. Any advice if everything was fine until I added this mod. I have the files saved from before the mod was added, and I have the file for after the mod was added. Would that help any ?? Or would you need more information than that ??

Something to note:

The new products page and all products page load but it says, more products will be added soon and check back later. Same thing with my new products page.

Those are issues on the storefront side

My error log shows this - Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/cocomilk/public_html/shoppingcart/myadminfoldername/template_select.php on line 190

That message is about stuff on the admin side.

Thank you for looking into it. The cart was working great until I added the mod for Responsive All Business Template.

1. put back the previous /admin/template_select.php
2. then use it (via your Admin) to switch back to you using your previous template

Does the storefront problem go away?

Thank you for responding DrByte,
I did what you said and put the old file back. Switched back and it's still not working. I switched back for now to the new template because it's the responsive one. I guess I can leave the old file in for now because it didn't effect the functionality of the site.

1. The settings which control the display of products_all and products_new are found in:
Admin->Configuration->Maximum Values
Admin->Configuration->New Listing
Admin->Configuration->All Listing

Please post the settings from all 3 of those pages.

2. The PHP files which drive those pages include:
/includes/classes/split_page_results.php
/includes/modules/pages/products_all/header_php.php
/includes/modules/pages/products_new/header_php.php
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_products_all_listing.php
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_products_new_listing.php

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_products_new_default.php
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_modules_listing_display_order.php
In what ways have you altered those files such that they're different from original ZC code?

As far as Mods, the site has the Tableau Template which I added this year Nov 21 but ended up not being able to do what I wanted with it, Rustic Template which was added Oct 2010 and was the one I was using all along and Responsive All Business which I added Nov 26 of this year to get the site mobile and tablet friendly. Simple SEO URL was added back in 2010, and I added the new USPS for the Rate V4 changes that was in Early November.

I just did the basic install on these mods, I'd have to go and ck the read me files on the mods to see how files were altered.
Sorry I'm not being much help, as you can see I don't do a lot of mods and other things because I'm not a code person, but just follow the directions of the installs. I only do mods when necessary because I don't want to blow things up. I hope this was what you were asking me for. Sorry to be thick headed on this.
