product modification error

[ArtbyPatrick]

Sorry for reposting so quickly today, but I am very not familiar with zen-cart. I updated to 1.5.6c and I am trying to view or edit a product and I see this error message:

Error!

Unable to determine the page link!

Function used:

zen_href_link('', 'cPath=1_162_558&product_type=1&pID=7549&action=new_product_preview', 'NONSSL')

that is all I see, the rest is a blank page. I chake thee includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php and SSL is activated.

Please advise what should be my next step?

I now realaize that this thread should<ve been in the products section, how can I move it?

No need to move it, but since you're running zc156c there's also a myDEBUG-adm-*.log file present in your store's /logs directory that identifies the source of the issue.

You can post the contents of that log, using the "CODE" tags (the big # in the menu-bar when you write your response). Since that log was issued during the admin's processing, the file's contents will include your 'secret admin directory name', so be sure to xxx that name out before you post!

Looks like you had the HTMLEDITOR previously installed; it's no longer provided in the Zen Cart core, but there's a CKeditor plugin that works just fine.

I believe that you can remove that no longer needed/wanted /admin/includes/init_includes/overrides/init_html_editor.php (or rename it to have an extension of .php~) that your issue will 'go away'.

[ArtbyPatrick]

I did as you said and renamed the file. But the error still persist. Here is the adm log:

You've apparently got a customized version of /admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php, since line 246, highlighted below, doesn't call zen_href_link

  <div class="form-group">
      <?php echo zen_draw_label(TEXT_PRODUCTS_MANUFACTURER, 'manufacturers_id', 'class="col-sm-3 control-label"'); ?>
    <div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6">
        <?php echo zen_draw_pull_down_menu('manufacturers_id', $manufacturers_array, $pInfo->manufacturers_id, 'class="form-control"'); ?>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div class="form-group">
      <?php echo zen_draw_label(TEXT_PRODUCTS_NAME, 'products_name', 'class="col-sm-3 control-label"'); ?>
    <div class="col-sm-9 col-md-6">
        <?php
        for ($i = 0, $n = sizeof($languages); $i < $n; $i++) {
          ?>
        <div class="input-group">
          <span class="input-group-addon">
              <?php echo zen_image(DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES . $languages[$i]['directory'] . '/images/' . $languages[$i]['image'], $languages[$i]['name']); ?>
          </span>
          <?php echo zen_draw_input_field('products_name[' . $languages[$i]['id'] .

What happens if you replace (after renaming so you've kept your previous customizations) that file with the as-shipped zc156c version of the file?

That worked. Thanks very much :)

If you've got one file that had some unwanted changes, there might be others as well. I'll suggest using a file-compare program, e.g. Beyond Compare or WinMerge, to see what else is different from a 'standard' Zen Cart installation.
