Sideboxes gone from right side on main page only

The title of this thread says it all! Basically the sideboxes on the right side of my main page have gone all together. www.icklebits.co.uk. The only thing that has been done is the config file was updated to take out the word "cart" from all paths as I had moved the whole shop to the main directory.

All of them are switchedon in the admin. They show up on the other pages in the shop just not on the front page.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!

Looks like something in your footer is broken and preventing the main page from completing ...

Thanks for replying but could you elaborate as to what that means that I need to do?? I'm still new to all this and need it all in laymans terms!

Thanks!

Please click here to bookmark this page ...Code corrupted. Insert fresh copy.

Notice you have no footer on your main page ... nor do you have the right column ...

Go to another page and the footer and right column are back ...

Thank you for replying again.

I understand what you are pointing out. I know that the footer and side boxes have disappeared. That was my original point!!! :smile:

What I need to know is how to get them back. They were there yesterday!

Thanks in advance

No worries...I've fixed it!!!!!! :smartass:

Sorry to have bothered you all!

Thanks again.

Would you eleaborate and tells us what was broken and how you fixed.

Oops sorry about that. I of all people should know how infuriating it is to read a thread and then there is no answer at the end!

Basically taking a note of the bit that had been cut and pasted in this thread (AjehQuote:
Please click here to bookmark this page ...Code corrupted. Insert fresh copy
the bad code) I just went and deleted that chunk of code that said "Please click here to bookmark this page" and then re pasted it fresh.

Seemed to be just a dodgy bit of code in the main_page file.

Hope that makes sense, let me know if not!

Thanks again!

I have the same problem as this old post...

How do I find the corrupted code as was found in the previous members problem?

Thanks...

I don't see anything missing. Did you fix it already?

I saw the right column and footer are missing from the product info pages. Did you make any changes recently, like to the tpl_product_info_display.php? Compare any changes you made with an old backup using winmerge. The corrupt code is usually a simple typo, like a missing ";" or "?>".

Sorry, need to select a product and then it starts messing up...
Here's a new link...

Cheers

That's the trouble with simply saying "I have the same problem as this old post..." - we may take you at your word and look at the home page (the subject of the previous problems). Your view source cuts off after

so look around there in tpl_product_info_display.php for starters, as slomojojo mentioned.

Thanks for the advise on where to find error.
Did a compare and found

at the bottom of tpl_product_info_display.php
Removed that part, as at some stage I must have messed up a xsell module, and so far so good....

Cheers!

Hi
I seem to have the same kind of problem, that the side right boxes and footer disappear on the home page, but only when i create a special offer on a product, ive checked tpl_product_info_display.php and all looks ok, any idea's where else i should be looking?

Ive never used the special offer part before, so dont know when any of the changes made to templates and overrides may have effected it

website is https://www.real-racer.co.uk

thanks

I have the same problem with https://www.robertocigars.com

First page NO RIGHT SIDE BOXES. All the rest have both and are correct...

I know little to nothing about the code stuff...

how do I find what's wrong and fix it?

The home page looks ok now (in Firefox). Did you fix it?

I temporarily fixed it.

I found that what caused the problem was when I tried to paste in the code required to have the site linked into a webring. The webring site said to cut the code generated and paste it into the bottom of the webpage. I had never done anything like that before so I just cut the code, opened the main page in the editor, switched to HTML view and pasted the following on the end of the last charater in the last line after the <p>:

The link came up fine buy the right margin info disappeared. When I went back in and cut it out after reading this string it all went back to the way it should be so I am assuming the problem is with this.

Should I put this into the page another way? Need something before ot after it?

Thanks for the help
