Hello,

Can anyone tell me how to edit out "fred" that is showing up for some reason in the upper left corner (see screen capture) it is screwing with the layout in Explorer (right side boxes are now on the left side) but looks good with the exception of "fred" in Firefox? www.koolkatjazz.com


Thank you

@pederb

I would suggest that 'fred' has been added to the index.php, template_top.php or header.php files

Chris,

That's what I thought too, but after looking through them a couple of times I can't find "fred" anywhere ?

If you look at the attachment I just added, it finds it in firebug just below <body>, but I can't tell were to find it.

Cheers

The <body> tag should be almost at the bottom of /includes/template_top.php
If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Just after fred are some blank lines and a "canonincal" link tag, from some add-on I would say.

You might find fred in the files required for that add-on.

I had a similar error, and found the offending text in a language file. I had missed something when editing the file.
REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP
I am not a coder, so dont bother sending PMs asking for help as you wont get any.  

OSC has a steep learning curve, but in general the program does work.  If it doesnt work, the chances are it is something you have done.

You should have a copy of your files on your PC, as a backup, anyway. Use the Windows "Search" facility to look for "fred", or better yet, get a copy of the "grep" utility. It will let you look not only for fixed text strings, but also for "regular expressions" (e.g., "function followed by one or more spaces, followed by tep_image" ==> grep -R "function *tep_image" *.php). If you have a Linux server and command line access (perhaps via a cron job), you can run grep on the server (it's built into Linux).

Thank you, I download Grep and it found the problem and now we are back to normal
