New Products and GZip compression

The new products will not display if gzip compression is off. When I turn gzip compression on, the page shows blank. If I hit refresh a few times the page will render with the new products. However, it seems that if there is a query string, the page will never render.

Woa, what's up?

Have you an URL to your site where we can see this?

When you come to this page, it might show no new products. refresh a few times, and you'll see them. Refresh once or twice again and they disappear - along with the featured product and the footer. Very strange.

For the time being I have disabled Gzip compression.

The strange problem shown in the above post only occurs if featured products is on.

Ok, I think I may have discovered the issue (not with Gzip though). If the new products do not display, it says there is a missing closing div and table. But, if the new products do display, there is a closing table and div. Why would the formatting change from one refresh to another?

I think the problem is in modules->new_products.php

Can you reproduce this error with Classic template or just with that silverfish template? :smile:

The server had a few issues. After they resolved the issues, the errors disappeared. I'm still not sure what could have caused that strange behavior, but it is resolved now.

Thanks for the update ... you'd be amazed what an incorrectly configured server can reek on the unsuspecting, innocent store owner ... :eek:
