Webmaster Mode isn't working
 

I dont know what went wrong, but for some reason, my webmaster mode only shows $lng stuff, and it doesn't show the tpl's at the bottom anymore. Also the little debug window that pops up isn't working right. When I put my mouse over the tpl name, it doesn't highlight the area that the tpl represents on the page.

Any ideas?

What web browser are you using? I think its only IE compatible.

webmaster mode
 

No thats not the problem.
I just tried it on my other server that I use for testing, and it works. It's just that on my real store its not working.

I fixed it
 

I found the problem. I recently upgraded to smarty 2.6.2. Either I did something wrong, or version 2.6.2 doesnt work with the x-cart webmaster mode.
I switched back to 2.5.0 and it works fine.

Ah! Very interesting, I just upgraded from Smarty 2.5.0 to 2.6.2 and my webmaster mode stopped working too! It must be something with 2.6.2. I think others should know about this...

Thanks!

Hi,

I am using Smarty v2.5.0 (original source from x-cart gold) and am experiencing the same problems while executing webmaster mode.

Tech specs as my signature.

stuck with the same error
 

I'm having this problem as well.

My server config:

X-Cart Gold 3.5.7, original source
Smarty 2.5.0
PHP 4.3.6
MySQL server 4.0.16-standard
MySQL client 3.23.49
Web server Microsoft-IIS/5.0

The Javascript error:
Line: 40
Char: 2
Error: 'parentNode' is null or not an object
Code: 0
URL: http://mysite/customer/home.php

It seems that there are two different configs that would cause this webmaster mode issue:

1) X-Cart v3.4.14 or below AND Smarty 2.6.2
2) X-Cart v3.5.x AND Smarty 2.5.0.

Is anyone running v3.5.x AND Smarty 2.6.2 and having this issue?

I wonder if X-Cart support would help us, even though they did not officially approve the upgrade to Smarty 2.6.2?

Unfortunately, I don't even receive ANY Javascript errors, so I have no idea where to start.

With the ParentNode issue above, I wonder if the debug console window is open? Do you have a popup blocker? I often get Javascript errors on a website that expects a popup to load, but my blocker blocks it.

webmaster mode
 

Jeremy,
I think you misunderstood.
I am using 3.5.7, and I only began having the problem when I switched to 2.6.2.

When I switched back to 2.5.0, the problem went away.

Web Master Mode off
 

Hi...

Have you tried turning off any kind of 'popup killer' software? Worked for me...


Hope this helps.

I dont use any.

That may fix the issue for dcrulz, since he is having a specific javascript error. I use Google popup blocker but I am allowing all popups for my xcart site, so it allows the console debugger to show. This probably isn't it.

The pop up debugger window works. The problem is the tpl guide in the bottom of the browser stops working. I personally find that to be the most useful portion of webmaster mode.

I am right with you. In webmaster mode, if I click on a $lng.xxx value, it pops up the editor to change the name of the language var, and if I click on a template in the console debugger, that works fine as well.

To me, the MAJOR issue (and I agree with you) is that the template guides that show in the status bar of Internet Explorer are no longer there. That was all I used it for. I never edited files using the X-Cart editor, I always did it by hand.

popups not an issue
 

I do have a pop-up blocker installed, but I have it set to allow popups on my x-cart site. The debug window does work as well.

I'm having the same issue where I can see text labels, but not template paths...
