buttons function differenty in explorer and FF AND a publishing question

**novicette** · 12 Jan 2009, 09:38 AM

I am about ready to go LIVE with my store.

Here are 2 issues I am facing:

1) Category links that have two words in them: they work fine in Explorer (both words activate the link), in FireFox, only the first word works, the second word does not.

(EG, [see store, below,] in Home Accents category in the side bar, if I click on Home, I am taken to Home Accents, if I click on Accents I stay on the home page. The same happens with Personal Gifts.)

That is happening in the side menu only (the top of the page works fine)

Does anyone know why that's happening and how to fix it?

2) I have my store file in the folders Public_HTML and WWW.
http://thegiftremembered.com/store/

In the same folders I have Index.html file (my original, unfinished, design)

The one that displays is Index file:
http://thegiftremembered.com/

I know I can rename the index file to stop it from displaying (and get an error message). How do I get my e-store to show up under the site's name, though?

you move all the contents of /store up onelevel to the root and edit your 2 configure.php files to reflect the move. and get rid of the html index page

It's not the first word as such that is working while the second word does not; the active state of the links is bold which makes it expand, and since both two-word categories fill the box width already, they go to two lines. If the cursor is where the expanded first word ends up, the link goes through. Try changing the CSS:

Code:

a:active {
	color: #660000;
	font-weight: bold;
        }

to this

Code:

a:active {
	color: #660000;
	font-weight: normal;
        }

To get the site in /store/ to show for the main address, you would need to do a redirect in /public_html/. This would prevent the root from being used for anything else (like a forum), so is probably not a good idea.
The best fix is to move your site to the root (from /public_html/store/ to /public_html/). This is easy to do, and all you have to do after you move the site folders to the root is to correct the paths in /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php to the new location. This means removing /store or store/ as required. See the tutorials.

Thank you so very much for the pointers. I got the links function fixed quickly.

It took me longer to orient myself with the other part. The store displays, but I am still having problems with functions. www.thegiftremembered.com

THANK YOU for your kind help.

For anyone else facing the same problem; the FAQ instructions for moving files from the store folder to root directory (for which I did search, but did not manage to find) are here:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=122

I was working in cPanel. To make a file writable, I had to go to "File Manager", and, in the top tool bar, look for "Change permissions" icon.

Also, when removing /store/ from the required lines in /includes/configure.php file, one / has to stay in place. (The result of removing /store/, should look like this "/", not like this "".
