I just moved my default.asp to the root directory but I am having problem with the featured products links and images, it still displaying the old path (which is wrong). Any one know which file to edit in order to get the featured products links/image in the home page to be corrected?
Thanks in advance. Hadi |

Hi,
I did every step and rechecked it many times but the only thing left not working is the featured product in the homepage. Hadi |

Have you tried entering the full path to the featured products page? for example: http://www.yourwebsite.com/produtcart/pc/mainIndex.asp - http://www.yourwebsite.com/produtcart/pc/mainIndex.asp Nigel

Hi Firstly can I say I have used Cartweaver for the last 3 years, but due to the lack of features and support I decided to look elsewhere. This is how I found ProductCart. An excellent product and now I feel as though I have wasted 3 years using Cartweaver Anyway to my problem: I have moved the home.asp to the root directory and followed all the directions in the manual but I have 2 issues: 1. The checkout link is pointing to the root directory I made sure the include is pointing to the correct file <!--#include file="Store/pc/SmallShoppingCart.asp" --> http://www.mind-blowing.co.uk/checkout.asp - http://www.mind-blowing.co.uk/checkout.asp When it should be http://www.mind-blowing.co.uk/Store/pc/checkout.asp - http://www.mind-blowing.co.uk/Store/pc/checkout.asp 2. Also have the same issue with the search function: <!-- #Include file="Store/pc/SmallSearchBox.asp"--> < size=14 name=keyword> < id=submit =submit value="Go >>" name=submit> http://www.mind-blowing.co.uk/search.asp - More search options
When you click on go or the more search options both try to find the file in the root directory I have obviously missed something but tried 3 times when moving the files into the root directory each with the same result Any help would be appreciated Neil |

One of the things to ensure is that you have changed the root folder in the settings file in the includes folder. Worth a shot. cheers Mark |

Hi Neil, Without seeing all your asp files I can't be sure about this but you may need to correct the paths to some of the other include files. As you have probably noticed Productart uses a lot of include files in the page headers and each asp page needs to reference these correctly. I see you are using the Parent Paths enabled version so ../ at the beginning may just work for you. Nigel

For the search form, I had the same problem in the home page. So, I went ahead and placed the whole code for the search form instead of the include and it worked fine: <!-- Start Search Box --> <form action="store/pc/showsearchresults.asp" name="search" method="get" class="pcForms"> <input type="hidden" name="pageStyle" value="H"> <input type="hidden" name="resultCnt" value="10"> <input type="Text" name="keyword" size="14" value=""> <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Go >>" id="submit"> </form> <!-- End Search Box --> you can do the same for the Adv. Search.

I have moved my home page to the root this week - what a mess it was even with Dreamweaver. I am constantly finding things that aren't working. My biggest concern is that the Smallshoppingcart.asp is cleared to 0 items everytime someone goes to the home page now. It works fine when moving withing the category and product pages. The path to the include on the homepage header is store/pc/smallshoppingcart.asp Can anyone help? Or can I post any other code to assist someone in helping?? thanks! |

Hi Caughlan, Did you correct the paths to the include files? If smallshoppingcart.asp can't fild them it won't function properly. Open smallshoppingcart.asp and look at the top - you'll see the include files it needs. Nigel

Yes sorry - it does use them but at the top of the main page. I'm doing this for a client over the next couple of days. If you can bare with me until then I'll post some more info regarding the steps you need to take. Nigel
