We are almost done with our site www.efikits.com

 

I have a couple of problems that I know of.

Hopefully you guys can find more for me to fix before we launch it.

 

1. I cannot seem to get the graphic to show for the Comodo secure at the bottom but it shows if you hover over it.

2. The what's new does not show the product or when you click on it the store cannot find the part.

3. The products tree is missing after the last update but looks like it should be there still from the column_left.php file.

 

I am still new to the php stuff so be easy on me. I mostly work on cool cars.

 

I welcome any ideas and help with the items above.

if it looks like the column_left has the code that calls for the categories box, then you should see if the categories box is still there.. go to catalog/includes/boxes/categories.php

 

if iit is there, then you need to really pull apart the code to be SURE it is calling for the right thing in the right place. The weird thing is that there is no error showing ..a lthough you might have your errors turned off. Google "turn on error reporting for oscommerce" there are a lot of threads on here about it.

 

The hover thing is something that is probably in the code that you copied from your SSL provider. It is supposed to do that, you are just supposed to put in a small image for people to hover over to read the larger certificate. there is nothing WRONG there.

 

And your new products, well, again, its a code error that needs to be taken apart and looked at. I suggest starting with ONE issue and posting a question in the general section here and MAKE SURE you give as MUCH info as possible, that INCLUDES whatever code you think is nessesary (make sure to tell them which page you posted)

 

the good thing is that you haev pretty STOCK oscommerce, so people will definiteyl be able to help you.. the bad thing is, you have pretty stock oscommerce, so your site doesnt look that good.

I just wanted to let you know that my Firefox add-on WOT (Web of Trust) flagged your site as a dangerous site. It looks like somebody submitted your site as a phishing site on phishtank.com . You might want to get this issue squared away so it doesn't scare potential customers away. Here's the report: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.efikits.com

I welcome any ideas and help with the items above.

Site does not display Powered by osCommerce at this point so you cannot ask for feedback until then.

Thanks Guys, I have fixed the WOT problem. I have also fixed most of the other problems. I still have a problem with the category box not showing on the left menu.

 

I posted the problem and code here

Was there any specific contribution that you used for the navigation bar at the top? Also, I would recommend removing the currencies box if you are only using one currency. :)

[TurboNova]

No the nav bar at the top was not a contribution. I was thinking about the currencies box too, thanks

Hey Brian,

 

Humm...

efikits.com but on the site (header) it says HorsepowerConnection.com ??? :huh:

Maybe you're fixing to replace HorsepowerConnection.com with this new design and switch the URL?

 

Has anyone viewed the site with IE7?

On my end something really screwy is going on.

First you don't have a Categories header.

Your center info; such as "What's New Here?", image CCF07172008_00000.jpg, and "Featured Products" are all aligned way down after your "SSL Security Info" box. Then after the supposedly center info, "Shopping Cart" and "Languages" infoboxes are on the left at the bottom of the page.

 

Boy do your graphics bring back memories.

I used to run a '66 Chevy II Nova at Connecticut International Dragway years ago.

These are the things I am trying to fix.

When I enable the categories the alignment goes all to hell.

 

Hey I am a car guy who is into computers and EFI but only know a little about websites.

I am looking for help to fix the alignment problem.

 

The store will be a link from our site www.horsepowerconnection.com and our other business www.fasttrackperformance.com

Hey Brian,

 

I can see a few problems at quick glance, not trying to be nasty, but you have a mess with your HTML structure. It would be best if you had an original index.php to compare against using something like Winmerge.

 

It looks like you are missing <!-- header_eof //--> in your index.php, it should look like this -

 

<!-- header //-->

<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'header.php'); ?>

<!-- header_eof //-->

 

<!-- body //-->

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="3" cellpadding="3">

 

And you have this -

<table border="0" width="234" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

 

Oop's wait a minute... you do have <!-- header_eof //--> listed. Way down here -

 

<!-- left_navigation_eof //-->

<!-- body_text //-->

<table border="0" width="95%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

<td width="100%" valign="top">

</tr></td></table>

<!-- header_eof //-->

 

Change that part to -

 

<!-- left_navigation_eof //-->

</table></td>

<!-- body_text //-->

<td width="100%" valign="top"><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr>

<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

 

Here's another one -

 

<!-- featured_products_eof //-->

 

<tr>

<td class="main"></td>

</tr>

</td>

</tr>

</table></td>

</tr>

</table>

 

 

<!-- footer //-->

</td>

</tr>

</table>

 

 

</td>

<!-- body_text_eof //-->

 

Change to -

 

<!-- featured_products_eof //-->

</td>

</tr>

</table></td>

</tr>

</table></td>

<!-- body_text_eof //-->

<td width="180" valign="top"><table border="0" width="180" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">

<!-- right_navigation //-->

<!-- shopping_cart //-->

 

This to -

 

<!-- languages_eof //-->

<!-- right_navigation_eof //-->

</table></td>

</tr>

</table>

<!-- body_eof //-->

 

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="1">

<tr class="footer">

 

To This -

 

<!-- languages_eof //-->

<!-- right_navigation_eof //-->

</table></td>

</tr>

</table>

<!-- body_eof //-->

<!-- footer //-->

<table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

<tr class="footer">

 

It's after 2am here so that's about all my tired brain and eyes can spot right now. But it should get you to the staging lights. ;)

I am lost what file are you finding this at?

[jhande]

index.php

 

The one that is in your shops root folder, such as catalog/index.php

 

-- edit --

 

I just spotted your other post in the General threads. I didn't realize you were using a template, sorry. You might have to look for and correct the issues in both the index.php and header.php files.
