Search option error

[jjob68]

Hi,

Im having problem with the search option on my website. I have been told that it is the path to cgi-bin. But i dont know the correct path, can anyone send me an example.

on the site i have to use the followinhg to get to the cgi-bin

public_html/cgi-bin

on the network set up i have put

Path from cgi-bin to acatalog directory

/home/rollsroy/public_html/acatalog/

and Path from cgi-bin to acatalog directory as viewed by FPT server

/public_html/acatalog/

Can anyone help?

Which site?

if the checkout on same site (where search doesn't work) works it will be nothing to do with the location of the cgi-bin

[jjob68]

the site is rollsroycecarparts.co.uk

checkout is fine

if its not the cgi-bin path what is wrong?

you can use search its just that the page and images are not the same/missing

Hi there

If you go to the Design tab, and from the drop down box at the top labelled 'select page type', select 'Search Rusults'.

If you look at the layout code at the bottom, around line 6 do you have 'BaseHref' on this line?

Hi James,

Can you tell me where i can find this, as in my Design Tab I only have the following..

THEMES
COLORS
OPTIONS
TEXT

Thank you

James this chap is using v7 not v8 - the 'BaseHref' will come out of Act_Primary.html, might still be work checking.

Go to the advanced menu - come one down to template editor.

If the dialog that pops up is blue hit "Overall layout"

if not hit "change view" and then "overall layout"

in the file that opens look for the following:

You should have <Actinic:BASEHREF value="NETQUOTEVAR:BASEHREF"/>

but you may also have <base href="

if you have the second can you paste it back here in your reply.

Hi

I have the following

<Actinic:BASEHREF value="NETQUOTEVAR:BASEHREF"/>


so i have deleted it

I have also updated the website and the problem is still there, the search result page is wrong.

[Orchid]

no don't delete it - this tag is needed for the shop to work.

What I was asking was if you also had a tag starting with <base href="somelink.html">

if you haven't then this isn't the problem and we need to think of something else.

can you post the link to your website?

[jjob68]

hi again i have put it back thank you

Do you know what else it could be.

[Orchid]

it is something to do with your baseref - I've just had a look at your site and it's giving the search baseref as <BASE HREF="http://www.rollsroycecarparts.co.uk/acatalog/"> which is fine and dandy and just as it should be - but and here is the issue

it is also including a second tag earlier in the document of <BASE HREF="http://www.rollsroycecarparts.co.uk/"> and this is breaking things - the base href should only appear once in the document.

Also weirdly in the code for your homepage you have two tags

<Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="http://cheapclassiccarparts.co.uk/" FORCED=1/>

<Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="http://www.rollsroycecarparts.co.uk/" FORCED=1/>

not sure how that first one got there considering that your site is on the domain http://www.rollsroycecarparts.co.uk

Do you want to paste the entire code from Act_Primary.html into your post so that I can have a look at the code?

[jjob68]

Hi I have pasted the html code but its to long, is ther an other way for you to see it ?

[Orchid]

paste into a txt doc and then hit the paperclip to attach it to your post

[jjob68]

As attached

Hope this helps

[Orchid]

I think this will help

cut the line
<Actinic:BASEHREF value="NETQUOTEVAR:BASEHREF"/>

and paste in place of <Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="http://cheapclassiccarparts.co.uk/" FORCED=1/>

so that instead of having two tags, you have one - the one with the NETQUOTEVAR rather than the cheapclassiccarparts domain

[jjob68]

Hi,

Thank you very much for your help. Its now working fine.
Tho I changed what i took out,

I kept
<Actinic:BASEHREF value="NETQUOTEVAR:BASEHREF"/>

and took out
<Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="http://cheapclassiccarparts.co.uk/" FORCED=1/>

I done this because I used to have both web address on one domain (cheapclassiccarparts.co.uk) but split it after a while. Some how it must have kept this in the programing. So when I saw the name cheapclassiccarparts.co.uk i know it was wrong.

Again thank you
