Help! Closing tag error in Business

[magicalwonders]

The only function it seems to serve is to display the customers name. However, this info is already displayed as "Buyer" just above the welcome bar.

I think if it was me, I'd code in a general welcome. It would still bug the heck out of me though as to what the problem is!

Good luck,

Myles

Edit. Nigel, Just seen Bills post. Try it out.

Hi Guys

Sorted!

I found the error in 'Design > Text > Customer Accounts'. The code just didn't look right as their was no closing tag, but there parts which appeared to link to the Account name generation. With a bit of experimentation it finally displayed correctly. You can view the live site and how it was supposed to be here:

Phhhheeeew!

Thanks for all your help

Well done,

The white text looks much better too!

Same Problem...

Hi there, i am having the same problem where the welcome bar shows extra things and looks pants.

When loggin on, it shows:

">danWelcome to Online Catalogue

i have been through this whole post and i have probably missed something, i have read the advanced manual and that told me to go to the text options and look in "phase -1 ID 1969.

that contains:

<FONT FACE=ARIAL SIZE=+1 COLOR="%s">

if i change that, all it does is take the blue background away from it

How do i edit the message?
How do i take away the "> from the start of the message?

Thanks

Dan

The original poster solved his problem by changing the code to read

<td align=center bgcolor="#003399"> <b><SPAN CLASS="actwelcome">Seemore Graphics Welcome to Showroom Catalogue</b>&nbsp;</SPAN></td>

which does make much more sense, but is still actually wrong.

Nigel - if you read this, can you change your code to either

<td align=center bgcolor="#003399"><SPAN CLASS="actwelcome"><b>Seemore Graphics Welcome to Showroom Catalogue</b>&nbsp;</SPAN></td>

or

<td align=center bgcolor="#003399"><b><SPAN CLASS="actwelcome">Seemore Graphics Welcome to Showroom Catalogue&nbsp;</SPAN></b></td>

so that the tags are opeened and closed in the correct order.

Hi there

i have tried changing the code that is in Phase -1 ID 1969 to what you suggested and all that does is puts another line saying "Seemore graphics welcome to showroom catalogue...

What have i done?

or was that code you suggested earlier supposed to go into a html file somewhere?

HELP!!!

[sgtbash]

also...

where is the "actwelcome" message variable held?

@ sgtbash

We have got a little confused here. I was showing you the finished code used by the original poster, as you did not give your web address for me to actually look at what is showing on your site (I see Ben found it, so it must be in a previous post you made)

"actwelcome" is not a message variable - its a CSS (style) class.

[sgtbash]

Phew

After a lot of stress and annoyance, i have seemed to have found where the message is stored...

The message it self and its formatting (NOT FONT FACE AND STYLE)is stored in the text options

Phase -1 ID: 210

The font face and options are stored in

Phase -1 ID: 1969

Hope this helps..

I also found that the two "%s%s" are used; one to find the current user, and the other to find the correct font formatting.

These can be moved around so that the message can read:

user : welcome to the site

or

welcome user, to the..

or whatever.

Hi All

I've been away and only just picked up this thread...

Just to confirm that SgtBash has found the area which I also used to sort the original closing tag error.

Sorry not to have picked up the message sooner and saved you a lot of hassle.

hmm

ive just gone back onto this page to make sure it is working correctly, and now it is displaying "#cccccc" before all of the text.

If you go to...

http://nineplus.1337server.co.uk

and log in as
User: test
Pass: test

you will see what i mean.

the reference to #cccccc is not anywhere in the text options.
?

The area where I fixed my similar problem, to do with Customer Accounts, is by going to Design > Text > Customer Accounts, then choose the line (approx 8 lines down - after Login), which begins with <table border=0 etc....

Check on the right hand side, editable area, that your colour opening / closing tag error is correct in that line, as that is where my original problem came from.
