When i click on a the logo on the front page of my site it takes me to this url.

http://www.Mysite.co.uk/%7B$http_location%7D

i would manually change the head.tpl but i dont think that this would solve the underlying problem of the $http_location variable which is probably used in other pages in the site.

please could you tell me why it might be doing this and or where this variable is defined ?

version 4.0.14

thanks

The problem is caused I believe by the way you have edited the file, probably using something like Adobe Golive?

Whatever, your editing package has kindly decided to some extra editing!

In this case altering { to %7B and } to %7D!!

what it should of course look like is:

http://www.Mysite.co.uk/{$http_location}
This would have been caused in skin1/head.tpl

You will also get a similar problem with images location - {$ImagesDir}

If you are using Golive, you may need to change your templates to text files not html files to edit them.

thanks for the help so far.


this is the line that generates the link. it seems normal, i cant see any thing thats been replaced.
<TD>[img]{$ImagesDir}/xlogo.gif[/img]</TD>

i am using dreamweaver.

Have you checked config.php, that is where the locations are defined.

Check the locations you have set up at the top and also line 286:
$http_location = "http://$xcart_http_host".$xcart_web_dir;

286 apears as you showed it.

and the variable at the top is set to the address of my site.

hmm, well I am not sure where the problem lies.

Something is changing your "{" to other code and that is typically done by html editors. If you are sure that any files you have edited are OK, it could be a server/setup problem, but I don't know.

I would be looking at putting back the original files from skin1_original to see if that solves it or not.

Maybe someone else can spot the problem, but my experience of the problem is editing files as I say.

Is there a way to change that link completely? I want it to point back to my main index page on my site, not the index page of my x-cart.

THanks,

Just edit the skin1/head.tpl template.

Look for the link that is on the logo and put in there anything you want.

(Presuming you have a bit of html knowledge here - if not just ask)
