Articles not displaying, sections blank, slideshow not working, etc...

kstewart · 2011-03-16 19:45:40

Hi folks,

Several issues here: http://www.fonmedia.co.uk/

Attempting to build a site for a friend after finishing my own with textpattern.

Would seriously appreciate any help given on above problems as my brain has gone to mush!

Cheers!

When you view the page source, and check the tag trace at the bottom, are all the txp:if_section set up as you want them to be?

els · 2011-03-16 20:14:55

You have a <txp:if_section name="Home"> twice, one on the page I think, and one in form ‘gallery’. For the front page you need <txp:if_section name="">.

Hey guys,

Thanks for input but the page source on blank sections is empty. Also, already had this on front page <txp:if_section name=”“>…

Any other ideas?

Look where your second opening and closing body tags might come from.

Edit: Just read the “blank page” remark: Blank pages stem mostly from improper closing of tags.

Ok… thanks. I’ve gone over everything and can’t see tags I’ve not closed but I am quite new at all this so maybe I’ve overlooked one? Would there be any other reason? I may have had config.php setup issues as I accidentally pressed the ‘I did it’ option before actually uploading the code it generated via ftp… However, I immediately uploaded it. Could this be affecting anything?

uli · 2011-03-16 23:14:35

Having pressed ‘I did it’ accidentally is not part of your problem. You’ve not found the duplicate body tags, so you probably didn’t look careful enough.

E.g. in your div id="head" there’s another pair of body tags.

kstewart · 2011-03-16 23:15:00

I’ve got a 404.shtml file in ftp window… also a blank .htaccess file… this is not good, is it?

uli · 2011-03-16 23:16:38

Do not only look at the page, take faults stemming from forms into consideration, too.

kstewart · 2011-03-16 23:19:10

Could it be my head form? Trying to have a slideshow with jquery cycle lite and head looks a bit iffy (not sure how to deal with it):

—————————————————————————————————————————————————-
<div id=“head”>
<body>

<txp:section_list wraptag=“ul” break=“li” active_class=“active” sections=“our_work, our_people, contact_us” include_default=“1” default_title=“Home”/>
</body>

</div>
—————————————————————————————————————————————————-

This form contains the redundant body tags, yes.

But the blank screens are caused by section specific code.

kstewart · 2011-03-16 23:35:54

Removed said redundant tags, cheers. Not seeing any relevant section specific code which could be affecting things…

uli · 2011-03-17 00:03:16

Please post the ~~code~~ edit: complete set of tags of one of the pages that come out blank and all of the forms it calls.
Name them.
Put one bc.. before a large chunk, note the trailing blank after the dots. This puts pre tags around the code which help diagnose apostrophe problems.
After code blocks you can start normal text with p. , again: note the trailing blank.

Ok… here’s the code for our_work section. All sections are using page template entitled default.

Really appreciate anyone willing to look through all this code! Please note I’ve been learning from existing textpattern templates and changing bits of code so there may well be some redundant things in here.

While I look over the page’s code, please replace br.. with bc.. and put p. before each name. Thanks.
