Header disappeared!!!!!!

[Guest]

This site has been online for several months and has been working just fine.

 

The only thing that has recently changed are the intro pictures on the first page and the header image to show Christmas stuff. ONLY THE IMAGES WERE CHANGED... their names were not changed. No changes were made to any of the rest of the pages..none none none

 

The new header picture was showing when first uploaded two days ago and the site had no issues. Now, all of a sudden the header is missing!!!! Nothing there.

 

I have looked at the index.php and it shows everything that should be there. I looked at header.php in includes and things are where they should be...BUT WHY IS IT NOT WORKING?????

 

This is a busy site and it has GOT TO BE FIXED... please tell me where to start!!!!

Looks like header.php is an empty file apart from a table tag:

 

 

<!-- header //-->

</table><!-- header_eof //-->

 

 

(from your page source)

 

DOWNLOAD the file and let us see :)

Here is the part in the index.php file that has the header info...and it shows something there that for some reason is not showing up in the online page source code?

 

 

<body background="images/monkeypuzzle-1074706181.jpg" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" rightmargin="0" bottommargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

I'm so confused!! :(

[Guest]

Your main header content is within this conditional statement:

 

if ($banner = tep_banner_exists('dynamic', '468x50')) {

 

This means that if you dont have a 468x50 banner enabled in admin, it wont show anything within that condition.

 

I can see the errant table tag at the end of your file - it should be within the following conditional:

 

if ($HTTP_GET_VARS['info_message'] != '') {

 

You can remove the banner conditional (PLUS its closing tag!)

dont forget its closing tag } or you will get a parse error

OMG... I'm just remembering...

 

It might be there WAS a banner in the banner manager and I deleted it because it said Os Commerce something or other. I didn't think I was using it. Could that have been it that was allowing the header to show up? Was that the 'banner'? GRRRR...

 

If it was, how do I get it back in there.

 

Nope, that can't be... I want the header...it shows in the index.php that I had pasted above. *sigh* anyone have an aspirin?

[Guest]

YIPPEEE SKIPPEEEEE.... *doing happy dance*... IT WORKED...

 

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.... *spitting out aspirin*

 

Now tell me why this might have happened? please?

[Guest]

Yes, that is the reason.

 

It is a simple thing to remove the code, however you could create a new banner just using pixel_trans.gif (a 1 pixel transparent image you will find in your images diretory). Be sure to put the banner in or define the banner group as 468x50

I think I'll leave it like it is...it's working.. :) I'll just remember NOT to do the banner thing in the next store I set up next week. This is my third os commerce site and I learn something new everytime. Thank you again.
