Title Tags displaying incorrectly

jth · #1 09-17-2007, 02:27 AM

Hi,

I am having a few issues with the way the Title tags are displaying for certain pages.

The only pages that aren't affected are the home page and the individual product pages.

At least one adjustment was made to skin1/customer/home.tpl as follows (this may be causing the problem) - in red:

{* $Id: home.tpl,v 1.88.2.10 2007/06/18 12:38:57 max Exp $ *}

Could someone please advise on how to correct this issue?

thanks!

Sorry more details are required.

On the pages that aren't displaying correctly, the title bar tag looks something like this:

Company Name :: Short Description :: ~~~~ | lbl.gift_certificate | || ~~~~

On the normal pages, the title bar tag looks like this:

Company Name :: Short Description

Thanks,

Jo

That usually means there is a broken Smarty tag somewhere, most likely NOT the title tag. What pages are displaying this error? Check the templates for those pages.

Hi,

It is happening on all pages except for Home page and product pages.

I've checked the templates, but cannot find anything obviously wrong.

Below are the following template codes (skin1/customer/special.tpl, skin1/customer/menu.tpl and skin1/help/tpl):

skin1/customer/special.tpl:

{if $active_modules.Gift_Certificates ne "" or $active_modules.Gift_Registry ne "" or $active_modules.Special_Offers ne "" or ($active_modules.Manufacturers ne "" and $config.Manufacturers.manufacturers_menu ne "Y") or ($active_modules.Feature_Comparison ne "" && $is_fc_display_menu eq 'Y')}
{capture name=menu}
{if $active_modules.Manufacturers ne "" and $config.Manufacturers.manufacturers_menu ne "Y"}
{capture name=bullet}<a href="manufacturers.php" class="VertMenuItems">{$lng.lbl_manufacturers}</a>{/capture}{include file="customer/main/bullet.tpl" content=$smarty.capture.bullet}
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Gift_Certificates ne ""}
{capture name=bullet}{ include file="modules/Gift_Certificates/gc_menu.tpl" }{/capture}{include file="customer/main/bullet.tpl" content=$smarty.capture.bullet}
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Gift_Registry ne ""}
{capture name=bullet}{ include file="modules/Gift_Registry/giftreg_menu.tpl" }{/capture}{include file="customer/main/bullet.tpl" content=$smarty.capture.bullet}
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Feature_Comparison ne "" && $is_fc_display_menu eq 'Y'}
{capture name=bullet}{ include file="modules/Feature_Comparison/customer_menu.tpl" }{/capture}{include file="customer/main/bullet.tpl" content=$smarty.capture.bullet}
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Survey && $surveys_is_avail}
{capture name=bullet}{include file="modules/Survey/menu_special.tpl"}{/capture}{include file="customer/main/bullet.tpl" content=$smarty.capture.bullet}
{/if}
{if $active_modules.Special_Offers ne ""}
{capture name=bullet}{ include file="modules/Special_Offers/menu_special.tpl" }{/capture}{include file="customer/main/bullet.tpl" content=$smarty.capture.bullet}
{/if}
{/capture}
{ include file="menu.tpl" dingbats="dingbats_categorie.gif" menu_title=$lng.lbl_special menu_content=$smarty.capture.menu }
{/if}

Hi,

I also have this exact issue and am just about to go live for the very first time!!

Did you sort this problem out?

Would appreciate any help on this matter.

My version is 4.1.7.

Thanks all

Nick

Hi Nick,

Went through all associated templates but couldn't find the issue.

Contacted Paul from luminointernet.co.uk and he sorted it out in a flash.

Highly recommend you contact him. He will fix it usually straight away - amazing service, talent and expertise in all things x-cart.

Best of luck,

Jo
