Strange n's appearing

[mischaa]

Hi,

 

I've seen in the code . "n". Now they're appearing in my shop pages.

Like this:

 

Per Item

n Best Way 2.00EUR

 

Per post

n VASTE

 

Anybody any idea how they are appearing or is it a bug and should they actually

read . "\n"....

 

Any help is apreciated.

 

Thanks!

Mischa

they should be /n and it is caused by using the online file manager to edit files which results in the backslash being removed from the code, the most common issue of this kind is in relation to the categories from the index.php

 

which can be resolved by as follows however your appear to be from a shipping module

 

ISSUE:

Display shows the 'n' character in index page when categories are selected.

 

You have edited the index.php using the online file manager which has removed the \ backslashes from the code, this is a known issue with using the file manager to edit files, it is better to use an ftp program such as ws_ftp to download the file and edit it locally then ftp back to the server.

 

FIX:

To fix this issue you will need to find the 4 instances of "n"; on your index.php and change them to "\n";

 

around line #104 look for this code

while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) { 
     $rows++; 
     $cPath_new = tep_get_path($categories['categories_id']); 
     $width = (int)(100 / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) . '%'; 
     echo '                <td align="center" class="smallText" width="' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>' . $categories['categories_name'] . '</a></td>' . "n"; 
     if ((($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) == floor($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW)) && ($rows != $number_of_categories)) { 
       echo '              </tr>' . "n"; 
       echo '              <tr>' . "n"; 
     } 
   }

change to this

while ($categories = tep_db_fetch_array($categories_query)) { 
     $rows++; 
     $cPath_new = tep_get_path($categories['categories_id']); 
     $width = (int)(100 / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) . '%'; 
     echo '                <td align="center" class="smallText" width="' . $width . '" valign="top"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, $cPath_new) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $categories['categories_image'], $categories['categories_name'], SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_WIDTH, SUBCATEGORY_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '<br>' . $categories['categories_name'] . '</a></td>' . "\n"; 
     if ((($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW) == floor($rows / MAX_DISPLAY_CATEGORIES_PER_ROW)) && ($rows != $number_of_categories)) { 
       echo '              </tr>' . "\n"; 
       echo '              <tr>' . "\n"; 
     } 
   }

and then around line #256 look for this code

while ($filterlist = tep_db_fetch_array($filterlist_query)) { 
         $options[] = array('id' => $filterlist['id'], 'text' => $filterlist['name']); 
       } 
       echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('filter_id', $options, (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['filter_id']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['filter_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit()"'); 
       echo '</form></td>' . "n"; 
     } 
   }

and change to this

while ($filterlist = tep_db_fetch_array($filterlist_query)) { 
         $options[] = array('id' => $filterlist['id'], 'text' => $filterlist['name']); 
       } 
       echo tep_draw_pull_down_menu('filter_id', $options, (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['filter_id']) ? $HTTP_GET_VARS['filter_id'] : ''), 'onchange="this.form.submit()"'); 
       echo '</form></td>' . "\n"; 
     } 
   }

Mischa,

 

This happens when you use the editor in Admin->Tools->File Manager. Don't do that :-"

 

Use a regular text editor and upload the new files.
