Footer disappeared!

[Comesticage]

Hi all,

 

I did an add on, it was related to adding a review tab onto my website and the product info page.

 

It was successful.

 

But when i reload the page, the footer on all my pages were gone!

 

Some remedy steps i took

 

1) Reverse the changes i did when i was doing the add-on -------------> no help. Still no footer

2) I got desperate and restore all the files in my server using a backup 1 week ago -------------> no help. Still no footer.

 

My website is at http://www.oxytarm-ap.com

 

If anyone needs to see the index.php, footer.php or template_bottom.php file. i can paste the coding here.

 

SOS!

 

Regards,

Right now you are missing file includes/application_top.php

Sorry, might be because i was restoring from the latest backup that you did not see the application_top.php

 

but all my files are found in the dirn

 

includes/

 

1) application_top.php

2) application_bottom.php

3) template_bottom.php

4) template_top.php

5) footer.php

6) header.php

Where should i start to try to find out where

Hi,

 

I hope the files are enough. The new file was product_reviews.php

 

I also added

 

define ( 'PRODUCT_TABS_REVIEWS_TAB','True' )

 

into configure.php

/shop/catalog/includes and /shop/catalog/admin/includes

 

SOS. =((

index.php

application_bottom.php

footer.php

product_reviews.php

template_bottom.php

So upset with myself. How did i make the footer totally missing? tried all methods to resolve. deleting all the files and restoring it from different backups.. tried for 5 - 6 hours, can't get back the footer.. turn to forum. and waiting for some kind soul to enlighten me..

Generally when the footer disappears you should look for errors prior to it being called, many times the error will stop the parsing of the page and display only part of the page and leave out the rest.

 

 

If you added in something, generally I would look at the contribution and what parts it touches in the file and then see which would be called in all pages, and be out put towards the end of the page (boxes are a good start to look).

 

 

cheers

Hi,

 

I agree with you. but as i traced back my steps. The add ons do not touch the footer.php. I traced back further to my other add-ons. nothing..

 

then i went a further step by restoring all my back ups a week ago... still the footer is not around. this is puzzling and sad..

How is the footer.php being called? usually all webpages of my site has the footer too. but now all gone.. is it an error in the admin page? =(

@@cannuck1964I took a harder look at my footer.php especially the part that you mentioned "Generally when the footer disappears you should look for errors prior to it being called, many times the error will stop the parsing of the page and display only part of the page and leave out the rest."
