Hi all,

My new install of 2.31 has a weird problem.

Some product pages show the boxes perfectly, such as http://waveneybooks.co.uk/dir/product_info.php?cPath=47&products_id=330

Other have the left column/boxes missing completely and the right ones underneath the product details, such as http://waveneybooks.co.uk/dir/product_info.php?products_id=516

Is it anything to do with the 'cPath=' that's in the first url?


Does anyone have any ideas what I've done wrong?

Thanks in advance, from snowy Suffolk.

I would say the problem is in your product descriptions. The html you have in there is not proper and this affect the rest of the page

For example you have
- <li>....</li> but not wrapped into either <ul></ul> or <ol></ol>
- Closing tags </p> without the opening partner
- opening tags <div> that never close

etc

Correct this and you will be fine. Note that all items have issues, for the items that show correctly it happens just by accident

Thanks 'multimixer' I'll take a look at that.

Would you mind explaining why I've ended up with 'cPath' in some urls and not the others. In other words......what does cPath mean?

Kind of you to answer.

cPath is the category path. http://waveneybooks.co.uk/dir/product_info.php?cPath=47&products_id=330 <- so the product id is 330 and it is in category 47

AH! Lightbulb moment. Thanks for the explanation matt.

I'm still having problems as I described in my OP.

Took multimixer's advice. Even if I tidy up the HTML in the description.....or even empty it...........some product pages STILL do not load the left column/boxes at all and place the right column/boxes under the description.

I remain confused

[multimixer]

Can you show a product with "tidy" or empry description that still has the problem?

Multimixer..........thanks so much for returning to the thread.

Here is one with correct (I think) HTML, that 'shows' incorrectly - http://waveneybooks.co.uk/dir/product_info.php?cPath=33&products_id=467
