Re: help files missing from admin

That file isn't part of Zen Cart ...

How does its date compare to the other files in that directory?

Re: help files missing from admin

I dont understand what you mean by How does its date compare to the other files in that directory? but I did a google search for the overlib_mini.js and downloaded it and put it in the admin/includes/javascript/ and the error stopped
but I don't know if that had anything to do with the session expired or not

That file does not come with Zen Cart code ...

If it is on your server you need to know why this code is on your server and how it got there and what is trying to run it ...

Zen Cart does not use that file and it does not belong in the Zen Cart directories ...

Re: help files missing from admin

Try using the Developers Tool Kit and in the bottom input box type in:
overlib

Then select Catalog/Admin from the dropdown and click search ...

Does it find anything?

Re: help files missing from admin

yes this is what shows up

**public_html/shop/admin/index.php

**Line #57 : <script language="javascript" src="includes/javascript/overlib_mini.js"></script>

Line #192 : document.write('<?php echo '<a href="javascript:void(0);" onmouseover="return overlib(\\\'' . $cleanComment . '\\\');" onmouseout="return nd();"><img src="images/icons/comment2.gif" align="top" border=0></a> '; ?>');

Re: help files missing from admin

There is no line like that in the Zen Cart /admin/index.php

If you open that file on your server ... what does the header of it read?

Re: help files missing from admin

this is what is using the javascript

</script> <?php // ====> BOF: INFO AT-A-GLANCE <==== ?> <script language="javascript" src="includes/javascript/overlib_mini.js"></script> <?php // ====> EOF: INFO AT-A-GLANCE <==== ?>

This is in my admin/index.php

Re: help files missing from admin

May I ask who you are hosting with?

This does not sound like a clean installation of Zen Cart and appears to have add-ons to it ...

Re: help files missing from admin

Overlib is a javascript library used to create mini-popups and tool tips. As Ajeh says, it's not s part of Zen Cart and if I were in your position, I'd certainly want to know what else your host has added to the package (you'll need to know this when you upgrade) - particularly as it sounds as though they've done a less than perfect job of including it.
