Lost "Powered by Actinic" at Footer ...

[simonwar]

At the end of my page template there is NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBY which I am happy to keep.

However I added a few tables to the end of my provided Primary template and now even though the NQV is coded after the tables it does not appear in Actinic Preview ?

Any one know why not ?

Simon.

Can you check in Design | Options | Site Defaults .. at the bottom you should see "Earn Points and Prizes from the Actinic Referral Scheme" and a check box with 'Enable' against it, is this checked? If not check and then apply, you should then be able to see in preview.

Kind regards,

Checked but still gone without a clue ?

Hi Bruce,

Did what you ask, its checked, but still not seen.

Any ideas, Simon.

Hi Simon,

I'm having the same problem. Maybe bringing this back to the top again will help find someone to help us

Design | Options - Site Defaults. Below the box Bruce referred to above, there is an input 'Powered by Image' and a browse button. Have you selected one of the images there?

[remmo]

Yes Bill, Powered by image is selected

[Bruce]

Hi,

In Advanced | Template Manager | Main ... look for the 'Powered By' button, this will open Act_PoweredBy.html. The html for the template should look like this ..

<div align="center">
<h4>
<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBYURL?NETQUOTEVAR:MERCHANTIDNETQUOTEVAR:RESELLERID">
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">
NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBYTEXT1
</font>
<img src="NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBYIMAGE" width="NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEWIDTH" height="NETQUOTEVAR:IMAGEHEIGHT" border="0" alt="NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBYALTTEXT">
<br>
<font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">
NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBYTEXT2
</font>
</a>
</h4>
</div>

Kind regards,

[wjcampbe]

And if everything is OK in that template, check Act_CatalogBody.html and look for NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBY - make sure that is not commented out or missing.

[Bruce]

Thanks Bill ;-)

Thanks Bill ;-)

Couldn't leave you all alone to face this mob

Plot thickens .....

Hi guys,

Haven't forgotten about this one.

The plot thickens, "Powered by Actinic" is present and correct on my home page P_index.html, but it isn't on my catalogue page P_shop.html ???

Both page templates are closed as follows;
P_index.html

<p>NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBY </p>

P_shop.html

<p>NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBY </p>

Taking a closer look at the uncompacted html,
P_index.html looks like

<p><SPAN CLASS="actxxsmall"><Actinic:TEMPLATE type="begin" filename="C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Sites\Site1\Act_PoweredBy.html"/>
<div align="center">
  <h4>
    <a href="http://www.actinic.co.uk/referrer/Landing.php4?MerchantID=0">
    <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">
       Powered by Actinic
    </font>
    <img src="../PoweredByActinic.gif" width="22" height="15" border="0" alt="Actinic Ecommerce Shopping Cart Software">
    <br>
    <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="1">
       Ecommerce Software Shopping Cart Solutions
    </font>
    </a>
  </h4>
</div>
<Actinic:TEMPLATE type="end" filename="C:\Program Files\Actinic v7\Sites\Site1\Act_PoweredBy.html"/> </p>

P_shop.html looks like

<p> </p>

Mmmmmm, any thoughts.

This all started to happen about the time I added a table to the base of the existing Act_Primary (P_shop) template, but I have checked over this several times and cannot see why this would cause a problem, i.e there are no open tags etc etc

For some reason the NQV is not working in one template but is OK in the other ?

Sticky ?

P_anything is a generated preview page. It is temporary and any changes made in it are just as temporary.

Forget about opening and changing P_ pages, please.

Use the Advanced | Template manager to navigate to the template you need to check, and make your changes there.

If you know the name of the template (from looking at uncompacted HTML), then go to your site1 folder and open that template there.

As usual, make a backup copy first before you make your changes, so that if it does go wrong, you just need to rename the backup to put it right.

Hi Bill (your up early, not just me thats got stuff to do),

Templates ........ I know this..... you are correct, but the resultant is what we are really interested in, and this is represented in these temporary P pages.

How we get there..... well ... is quite frankly ... academic. (However I have found this journey enlightening, so no criticism intended).
Personally, I also find template editing far easier in DWeaver as opposed to the template manager, and I don't see this being a source of the problem. (DWeaver has excellent coding colours, (if you've got it you will know what these are), and very powerful tag inspectors, making it near on impossible to code something incorrectly)!

Anyway..... I have two core templates:

My_BrochurePrimary.html which is simply Act_BrochurePrimary slightly modified and creates my index page (more pages), and
My_Primary.html which lo and behold is Act_Primary slightly modified which creates my catalogue pages,

Both include NETQUOTEVAR:POWEREDBY ...... one works and one doesn't ?

The trouble with DW is it is very easy to forget - first select the tag, then go to the bottom portion of the DW screen - select the identified template, and click to edit that template.

It's far too easy to just click edit and make changes in the temporary page.

Have you checked the specific templates named in posts #7 and #8 above?

BTW - not so much up early - I'm in a different time zone

[simonwar]

Checked,

.... all present and correct, which stands up as it works in one template and not the other ?

Weird ....S?
