View Cart link not working

[katywilson]

Hi,

I've just built my first Actinic eCommerce site for a client and the view cart text link doesn't work. It returns the following:

A General Script Error Occurred
Error: The input is NULL

The URL is missing the ?ACTION=SHOWCART code at the end. I gather it should read http://www.prestigerubberstamps.co.u...CTION=SHOWCART

However it reads http://www.prestigerubberstamps.co.u...in/ca000001.pl

How do I correct this?

Cheers
Katy

If you've hardcoded the link then just correct the link, if not then try resetting the containing layout to default and see if it works correctly.

The link isn't hardcoded by me, its part of the horizontal nav bar text links layout provided by the Actinic software. The href location is the CartPageURL variable.

didn't Darren report this when he upgraded a site from V8 to V9?

I know this is a new build but it might be a general code 'bug' rather than an upgrade bug.
I'll try to find his original post for the solution

editted to say...never mind..it wasn't the same problem but the link is HERE for anyone who searches and whose problem may be similar

Try using this for the two links in the layout:

<a href="<actinic:variable name="CartLinkText" />" ><actinic:variable name="CartText" /></a>


<a href="<actinic:variable name="OrderLinkText" />" ><Actinic:Variable Name="CheckOutText"/></a>
