Guest Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 good looking site -- I noticed that you took out the location indicator (home.catalog...etc) on the left side of the screen. I understand why with only one product line but if you ad skins for PS2 >like i hope you will< --- you may then find it convient for your customers. got it bookmarked -- now just waiting for the new product line.

alexsc Posted January 21, 2005 Author Posted January 21, 2005 Thank you for your comments good looking site -- I noticed that you took out the location indicator (home.catalog...etc) on the left side of the screen. I understand why with only one product line but if you ad skins for PS2 >like i hope you will< --- you may then find it convient for your customers. got it bookmarked -- now just waiting for the new product line. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At the moment I'm only selling xbox skins to see if the idea of skins takes off in New Zealand. Hopefully it will :D But when it takes off I will diversify into PS2, Ipod, Gamecube etc. You can always make an account with the newsletter option ticked as i'll notify all customers when the new product line will arrive. I had actually kind of left the location indicator aside at the moment but its a good idea of you to add it again once i will diversify. you might want to check your image size. and your expired certificate. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am currently looking into the auto thumbnailer and that should drastically improve the site speed. I don't actually have a certificate yet so thats why the warning pops up. Im looking into getting a shared certificate sorted out as certificates alone are quite expensive in New Zealand.

Taipa Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Your footer image is pushed to the far left by the text "Plese report errors ....". Looks like your missing a linebreak or something to drop the text down to the line below the footer image.

Looks like your missing a linebreak or something to drop the text down to the line below the footer image. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Its really strange because sometimes when you load the page it shows the problem you describe, but when you refresh it fixes itself automatically. So it does habe linebreaks and stuff but strangely enough it doesnt always read it. Ill try putting it in a different place and see if it works better then.

Taipa Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Its really strange because sometimes when you load the page it shows the problem you describe, but when you refresh it fixes itself automatically. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I refreshed several times in both FireFox and IE, and it stayed the same, which I why I post it. If it went away after a refresh I would have just assumed a momentary browser glitch and not mentioned it to you. ^_^ No idea what could be causing it, though.
WillZilla Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Footer Problem... Refreshing will not fix this.. its a coding issue... currently your footer is setup like this... <!<table border="0" width="740" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" class="smallText"> <IMG SRC="images/footer.gif"> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" class="smallText">Please report errors and suggestions to webmaster : <a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank">[email protected]</a><br>Webdesign by <a href="mailto:[email protected]" target="_blank">Alex Schenk</a><br>Powered by <a href="http://www.oscommerce.com" target="_blank">osCommerce</a></td> </tr> </table> The problem is the first 2 characters... not sure why you would have that there (looks like a comment out was started) Anyhow.. remove the 1st 2 characters <! and your footer will work fine.
chooch Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 it's a nice layout at the top where the logo header goes. it's got a nice account/cart/checkout layout. needs a little more work on the image resizing i think, maybe better quality jpegs/gifs? well done, it's nice work! Upon receiving fixes and advice, too many people don't bother to post updates informing the forum of how it went. Until of course they need help again on other issues and they come running back! Why receive the information you require in good faith for free, only to then have the attitude to ignore the people who gave it to you? There's no harm in saying, 'Thanks, it worked'. On the contrary, it creates a better atmosphere. CHOOCH

When I view the source in IE then it has those two characters like you said. But I'm not sure where this comes from though. Part of index file: <!-- footer //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?> <!-- footer_eof //--> Part of footer file: <table border="0" width="740" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center" class="smallText"> <IMG SRC="images/footer.gif"> </td> </tr> This is very strange as it does not appear to be a coding problem. When I go to another page it works again and then when I go back and refresh the page then it works fine again. Has anyone else ever experienced a problem like this before?

alexsc Posted February 15, 2005 Author Posted February 15, 2005 Hi everyone, The problem is fixed. http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=82391&st=0& There was a small fix to be made to the application_top.php as I use php version 4.2.2 So the site should run correctly now. If anyone has more comments it would be greatly appreciated if you could post a reply. "If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure." ...George W. Bush
Guest Posted February 16, 2005 Posted February 16, 2005 I had a quick look, looks good to me, the only thing I noticed is that the copywrite year is wrong.
