center section stretches way out

tec · January 9, 2006

hi there, was wondering if anyone can tell me what might be causing my problem, seems on the index page, and when you click a category, all is well, but if you go anywhere else, the center part of the page stretches a far way to the right

Wow, you have to win the prize for the world's widest site. :) I compared the index and about us pages and the about us page uses the column left and column center classes. There may be something in those that is causing the problem.

hmm, ok, I am at a loss......

i took a look at the advanced search page because it seems to be working ok, but when i look at the source, it has the class tag for the column left and column center. I even tried taking the tags out of the css for them. I also tried to take out the class tags on a couple of other pages but when i delete the class tags, save and reupload i get this

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_db_connect() (previously declared in /home/race2way/public_html/includes/functions/database.php:13) in /home/race2way/public_html/includes/functions/database.php on line 13

If your shop is put together properly, all of your pages in the root will have the same structure except for two areas. You can copy those two areas and repoduce a working page. That should get rid of your problem. Here's how you do it:

1) Rename a failing page, use privacy.php for this example, to privacy_orig.php

2) pick a working page, say index.php. Copy it and rename that copy to privacy.php

3) find these lines in privacy_orig.php

?>
<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">

and select everything from right above the ?> to the top of the file.

4) go into privacy.php and paste that code over the same area so now both files are identical for the top section of code.

5) in privacy_orig.php, copy all of the code between this line

<!-- body_text //-->

and this line

<!-- body_text_eof //-->

6) paste that code over the same area in privacy.php

7) save privacy.php and display it in your browser.

That should result in a good display. If not, the problem is in the code you copied in step 6. If it still fails, post the whole, new, priivacy file here.

hi again, ok i tried it, and i followed your instructions, I swear i did step by step, your instructions opened while working in dreamweaver. Wierd thing is, is that is looks fine in mozilla

i worked on the privacy and index page like you suggested

http://race2way.ca/privacy.php

as you can see it is still messed up in IE, like i said though, stranger thing is, it works in mozilla

Here is the code from the new privacy page...

<?php

Hiya Jack......I FOUDN IT :D

it was the stylesheet, not quite sure what it was in the css, i still have to configure it back to how it should be, but hey, the pages are normal again.

Hahaha, guess i should have just tried uploading the back up stylesheet in the first place, amazing how one never takes the easy way :rolleyes:

anyhow my friend, thank you so much for your help that you offered, i do appreciate it, have a wondeful evening

Jack_mcs · January 12, 2006

Yeah, it seems the hard path is the one I usually take too. :) I'm glad you figured it out though.

thanks Jack, i was getting worried, cant say i had seen anything like it before, a few days doing it the hard way to find the problem, then took the easy route and it took me 3 minutes, do we ever learn? :P

would you by chance know how to comment out the notification box in column_right?

Jack_mcs · January 13, 2006

Wherever you see this line

include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'product_notifications.php');

change it to

//include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'product_notifications.php');
