Hi,

I am wondering where I can change the page width for my entire site. I checked most of the files and they are set to 100%. I must be missing a file where the real master settings are located. Also, how do I change the text in the middle top of the home page, the text contained in the Grey area? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

You have a typo in your name: http://www.globalimporters.com

Your template width is currently 876 which is a bit wide for 800x640, and a bit narrow for 1024x768.  The width is controlled by the CSS file you specified in the header - pcHeaderFooter.asp.  Look for this:

        #pcHeader {
            width: 876px;

Hi, Thank you for your response. I set the #pcHeader to 825, this made no difference that I can see using Firefox and MS IE8. I also cannot find what file contains the text in the grey area on the main page? Any help would be appreciated on both issues. Thanks again

In the includes/languages.asp file find:


dictLanguage.Add "english_mainIndex11"
and change the text you find just to the right of this.

Great!! That fixed the text...Thank you very much. I could not find the text in that file before. I had to do a Find and Replace using Adobe Dreamweaver CS. I wonder if there is another free editor out that is easier to use to modify Productcart? Thanks again!!

I have a huge problem, can someone tell me why my shopping cart does not register? If you go to my site, http://www.globalimporters.com, place a sample product in the cart and then click the checkout button, it says nothing is in the cart? What is causing this? I have never seen anything like it? Thank you for your help!!

I don't see that happening in the test I ran, but I do have a question.  Whois shows you hosting at what I believe is Godaddy, and apparently on a non-Windows server.  Is that correct?

http://www.networksolutions.com/whois-search/globalimporters.com

You really need to host on a Windows server for PC to run properly, and you need to consider NOT hosting at NoDaddy.  Search this forum for the many reported problems, and all the professionals who advise against using them as a host for a store.  IF you are serious about doing business online, move to a serious host.

The problem only happens if you access the site using http://globalimporters.com instead of http://www.globalimporters.com. The SSL uses the www so when you get to your checkout page, it automatically switches the domain to use the www. When that changes you lose your session which contains the products in your cart. You should force usres to use the domain with the www in the front.

Thank you for everyone that has helped. I was missing the www in the store manager. I figured Productcart would automatically place this in, I guess I figured wrong. I never had a problem in the past. Anyways, thanks again for your help, it is fixed. Also, one last note, Godaddy has not been an issue at all for my stores running on productcart. I had one online store selling Female Shaving Cream, I was generating over $5,000 a month just in shaving cream sales with no issues at all with Godaddy. Thanks again!

Hi @postitworld,

I see that Google has this site indexed both with and without www. -- which is generally not great for SEO; however, in both cases it only has the home page indexed.

The only time I've ever seen this before is when there are several domain names all pointed at the same site via 302 redirects -- so that the same content resolves under all of these different domain names.

Any chance you are doing that?

In any event, I don't know if GoDaddy hosting provides ISAPI_rewrite, but if so, then you can use that to make sure your site never resolves without the www. We handle that at the global level so that no domain on our servers will resolve without the www. -- we automatically 301 redirect to the www. address.
