Checkout middle of page blank
 

I have been doing some editing of my templates but I have yet to touch any of the checkout templates. Well in any case people can add to thier shopping basket fine, but once they click the checkout button it displays everything but a blank middle so I assume the checkout template is not being called.

I went in and tried to restore checkout.tpl, cart.tpl and a few other related templates but it hasn't made a difference.

What file is responsible for this?

Maybe a problem in your cart.php and/or home_main.tpl

I haven't edited my cart.php file. So home_main is used by the checkout process as I have modified it heavily.

I just restored the home_main file. It made no difference. Any other ideas?

What x-cart version?

It's possible that the main variable is incorrect.

Open your home_main.tpl and find where the cart is called. Put text after the if statement, before the include, and see if that part is being read correctly. If the page shows the text you put there, then you know that the problem is in the actual template file being called, and nothing prior to that.

Using version 4

I put text in the following and neither show up:

{elseif $main eq "anonymous_checkout"}
checkout anony?
{include file="customer/main/anonymous_checkout.tpl"}

{elseif $main eq "checkout"}
checkout logged in?
{include file="customer/main/checkout.tpl"}

Is it when you go to cart.php or cart.php?mode=checkout

The two files there only occur when mode=checkout, otherwise your opening up the cart itself.

When I goto:
cart.php?mode=checkout

I get the blank page.

Ok, in the very, very top of your home_main.tpl put:

MAIN: {$main}

If it doesn't return anything, the problem is that your cart.php is not assigning the main variable.

I just found out I get the same issue when I try:
search.php?mode=search

I inserted it at very top and I get same issue exactly. Here is my code at tp to show I did it:


MAIN: {$main}
{if $smarty.get.mode eq "subscribed"}
{include file="main/subscribe_confirmation.tpl"}

{elseif $smarty.get.mode eq "unsubscribed"}
{include file="main/unsubscribe_confirmation.tpl"}
.........
..........
......etc etc

When you load the page can you see the MAIN: text on it?

What about other pages? Can you see the MAIN: text on it?

I see it fine on other pages, but NOT the pages in question.

Probably indicates problems in your php scripts. Open them up and check to see that main is being assigned to smarty.

I restored all of my PHP files from the originals it hasn't made a difference.

Either there is something wrong with the PHP files by default or something is wrong with a template somewhere.

I have made ALOT of changes to templates so if you guys can give me some ideas on what templates to try and restore I can see if that helps.

I got it working. It turns out in the home.tpl there was an if else statement that I thought was right, but I guess not. It was never getting to the else statement. All fixed.

Thanks for your help.

What a nightmare eh. Glad you got it working.
