define main page text repeated in category pages

Hi,

the define main page text which is meant to be on the homepage only is appearing in my other category pages. Any idea how this could happen? Please advise. Thanks in advance.

Help,

When ever I have a category with subcategories, all my info from define_main_page.php show up above the category description. If there are not any subcategories, it works like it should.

see: http://tin10.com/zen/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=6 with subcategories

and: http://tin10.com/zen/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=5 with no sub-categories

TIA

Geoff

bump.... Anyone??

Is it just that one, or if you create a sub-category in one of your other categories, does it do the same thing?

it happens anywhere when i have subcategories.

If you switch back to the classic template temporarily do you still have the problem?

Yes, it also does it in the 'Classic Green' template.

I have the same problem? have you managed to find the solution?

I'm not seeing the problem in the site in your signature.

Hi guys

Has anyone found an answer to this yet as i am trying to set a home page to my website and everytime i use the main_page the content of this define_page appears in the sub category of every page. So you can see it on the homepage perfectly and everything looks good but when someone clicks on a category to look at the sub categories the main page text is still there and they have to scroll to the bottom of this before they can see any of the sub categories.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
Brad

I actual have the same problem and working on fixing it. Once I figure out what causing it. I will let you know. :dontgetit

I am having same problem with my zen-cart. I am working on the solution. Will let you know what the fix is in a bit.

Found the problem. The FAQ Module caused the problem. I deleted all the FAQ Module files and everything went back to normal. :smile:

Bumping again. I've been struggling to figure this out for some time, and can't. It seems like a lot of people have this problem, can someone help us out?

Thanks,

OK, so here is what I've figured out...

if you go to includes/templates/TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_index_categories.php and comment out the inclusion of the $define_page:

<?php if (DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS >= 1 and DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS <= 2) { ?>
<div id="indexCategoriesMainContent" class="content"><?php
/**
 * require the html_define for the index/categories page
 */

//  include($define_page);
?></div>
<?php } ?>

then the problem is fixed. The main page description still shows up on your top page, and the subcat descroiptions will still show up on the subcats if you've written said descriptions.

I could not find anywhere that DEFINE_MAIN_PAGE_STATUS was defined, it seems to always be 1 when this code is run? I'm not sure commenting this out is the right answer, but I've seen no ill effects so far.

If anyone has a cleaner answer or better explanation for why this works, please share.

Is this still working for you?
I've got the same problem...
I'm about to try what you've done but just like to check it's still the only solution.
I do have FAQ module installed too...
Cheers

I have the FAQ mod installed, I've fixed a couple of problems with it. This is one that it messes up somehow, but this fix worked fine for it. I copied the tpl_index_categories.php to my custom template folder and made the change, all is working fine again. Nice info!!
