  1. Many thanks everyone for taking the time to help me out.

     

    Its really odd but for some reason everything is back to normal - I have not changed a thing !

     

    I'm willing to bet its A2 hosting changing things.

     

    All is well as I say but I will leave this thread here incase anyone else notices the same thing.

  2. Hi All,

     

    Its been a long time since I have sought help from this wonderful forum but I am back.

     

    I was about to point somebody to my website when I noticed all of my pages are boubling up, scroll to the bottom of the page and the page starts again so there are 2x of each page on each page:

    http://www.greyprint.co.uk

     

    Also, all of the 'Latest Products at the bottom are all over the place/Bunched up.

     

    I havent touched a thing, last time I looked everything was fine and dandy.

     

    I do have that 6Scan scanning every day so that could make changes, I can think of nothing else that could have changed anything !

     

    I'm still running 5.2.8 with the Vector theme.

     

    Also I did report in the past that I was unable to set my own custom colours, thats not such a big problem so got around that as best I could - I'm not worried about that but it may be contributing to my current problem somehow?

     

    I should of course update to the latest version but as Brian will remember (as he helped me get in the past) I had some things made for my installation:

     

    This http://www.greyprint.co.uk/index.php?_a=letter

     

    and an 'Image Uploader' option which I am sure will not work after an upgrade hence my sticking where I am.

     

    Can anybody shed any light on why my pages may be doubling up?

  3. Hi All,

     

    It's been a while but I am back, with another odd problem !

     

    People keep telling me that my website is a bit 'Dull' - I have not been able to use 'Custom Colours' for a while ! I can keep changing things in the Fusion Configuration and saving them of course but no changes happen at all :(

     

    It stuck at default which is Dull I admit.

     

    I changed to A2 Hosting a few months ago - that's about the only thing I have changed, I think I was still having this 'Stuck' colour issue before I moved.

     

    I'm talking about this here: www.greyprint.co.uk

     

    I did search the forums but nothing so yet again I fear this is a problem peculiar to only me :(

     

    Does anybody (Brian) have any clues ?

  4. Hi Folks,

     

    I need help with A2 Hosting, a site I look after which uses Virtumart 1.1.9 has stopped adding things to the cart (I think this is since I moved to these new servers) and I am trying to fix it. It takes ages to get a response from the a2 Guru's so I am asking here.

     

    Who knows how to turn off 'Safe Mode' in the A2 Hosting backend?

     

    It's not a cubecart site I am having problems with so I shouldnt really be asking here but I did use the forums link to buy my new hosting.

     

    I have an extra 9 people staying at my house this week - 5 of them are small children so I have my hands full.. this problem is the last thing I needed - everyone else is outside in the garden in the Sun :(

     

     

  5. ok, If I  try this:

    </div>
    							<div id="badges" class="span6">
    							<div id="6scan_badge" style="bottom: 0; right: 0; position:fixed; _position: absolute;">
        <a href="https://api.wp.6scan.com/dashboard/v1/badge/click?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgreyprint.co.uk%2F">
            <img alt="Site protected by 6Scan" title="6Scan" style="width:200px;opacity:1;" src="https://api.wp.6scan.com/dashboard/v1/badge/image?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgreyprint.co.uk%2F"/>
        </a>
    								<a href="#">
    									<img src="{$STORE_URL}/skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/img/PayPal-Logo1.png" alt="Shop Securely with paypal - You do not need an account to use Paypal to pay" />
    								</a>
    

    The paypal logo and the 6Scan seal both appear outside outside of the content area, I missed the </div> off of the end of the 6scan code as thats how it appears above in your message :(

  6. I think this is around the area I need to put the code, I have been messing about with placing it but its always outside the border of the main content:

    				{/if}
    						{/foreach}
    					</nav>
    					<div id="footerbottom">
    						<div class="row-fluid">
    							<div id="copyright" class="span6">
    								{$COPYRIGHT}
    							
    								{* IMPORTANT:	Do not edit or remove the link immediately below without prior purchase of a "rebranding license" from ShopDev.
    												Doing so may result in your license being revoked. *}
    											
    								Designed by <a href="http://www.shopdev.co.uk">ShopDev</a>
    								
    							</div>
    							<div id="badges" class="span6">
    								<a href="#">
    									<img src="{$STORE_URL}/skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/img/PayPal-Logo1.png" alt="Shop Securely with paypal - You do not need an account to use Paypal to pay" />
    								</a>
    							</div>
    						</div>
    					</div>
    				</footer><!-- /#page-footer -->
    			</div>
    		</div>
    	
    		<!-- Plugin JavaScripts -->
    		{foreach from=$JS_SCRIPTS key=k item=script}
      <script type="text/javascript" src="{$STORE_URL}/{$script|replace:'':'/'}"></script>
      {/foreach}
      {if !empty($IMAGE_UPLOAD_JS)}{$IMAGE_UPLOAD_JS}{/if}
    

    This is in main.php

     

     

    I want to put it to the left of the Paypal logo ideally - any suggestions on where to place the code?

    <div id="6scan_badge" style="bottom: 0; right: 0; position:fixed; _position: absolute;">
        <a href="https://api.wp.6scan.com/dashboard/v1/badge/click?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgreyprint.co.uk%2F">
            <img alt="Site protected by 6Scan" title="6Scan" style="width:200px;opacity:1;" src="https://api.wp.6scan.com/dashboard/v1/badge/image?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgreyprint.co.uk%2F"/>
        </a>
    </div>
    
  7. I'm sure I have been through this before as I managed to get a Paypal icon in the footer of my index page but I just cant remember how I did it.

     

    What I want to do is put a 6scan security seal to the right of my paypal logo: www.greyprint.co.uk

     

    Here's the code but where to put it is the question?

    <div id="6scan_badge" style="bottom: 0; right: 0; position:fixed; _position: absolute;">
        <a href="https://api.wp.6scan.com/dashboard/v1/badge/click?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgreyprint.co.uk%2F">
            <img alt="Site protected by 6Scan" title="6Scan" style="width:200px;opacity:1;" src="https://api.wp.6scan.com/dashboard/v1/badge/image?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgreyprint.co.uk%2F"/>
        </a>
    </div>
    

    Thanks in advance :)

  8. "Please note that we do not support customers in compressing data in a zip format. There is no other option than to download all the data manually via FTP."

     

    They are making it difficult.. Brian's solution is the only way - still thinning out what I have there.

     

  9. I have asked them if they will compress the directories for me, I did ask before but maybe I will get a different operative this time who might interpret what I asked differently.

     

    As their response before was "We cannot support customers in compressing data in a zip format. Customers should be asked to download their files (data)in uncompressed format from the account manually via FTP."

     

    I will try and slim down some of that data - as I say it is years old and there will be lots I dont need now, mostly things for other people are there - small pages etc which are out of date.

  10. No SSH with Servage :(

     

    I was talked into using them as originally I was with 1and1 which was overkill for me, and now I am stuck.

     

    But I have 6 months to figure out a way of getting away from it - I will probably have to find a fast connection and use that.

  11. That did cross my mind, today I am lucky with 3.3mb download and .7 upload.

     

    NikGrey.com: 4,918,571,845 bytes - 36gb

    Greyprint: 473,558 bytes - 3.5gb

    CjbPhotographic 187 bytes - 1.4gb

     

    It would take me a long time to download the three domains I want to transfer, no idea exactly how long but certainly a long time - and uploading again at this speed would be days.

     

    The databases are not a problem, exporting/importing and config.

     

    I guess this is the reason they wanted everything compressed into One file :(

  12. No, It's not cPanel based.

     

    I can back up my Joomla sites and of course the Cubecart site so I am not sure why that is not good enough for what they want to do :( The problem is I cant compress everything - seems to me they have intentionally created this environment to trap people there.

    This just makes me want to escape even more, I will have to leave it another 6 months as Servage will renew immanently - I will plan it a bit better next time.

     

    Unfortunately the last few days I have spent in bed as I managed to get a bug thats been going around so couldnt put enough time into this - I'm hardly ever ill, but when I am the timing is terrible :(

  13. well, they say without command line access and the ability to compress everything into a single directory they cant help.

     

    I was just tempted by the faster host at the same price as Servage - I'm not interested in spending a fortune on hosting as I am only a 'one man band' so it looks like I am stuck.

     

    Brian, we did do something like this when I was trying to create a mirror site on my own server for a test installation of cubecart - I'm quite shocked that A2 are telling me they cant help - maybe they dont need the business :(

  14. I am moving from Servage to A2 Hosting.

     

    At the moment I have my nikgrey.com as the root and cjbpphotographic and greyprint as directories - would I benefit from having greyprint as the root or should I leave it as it is? (I am talking about search engine exposure).

     

    The only problem I can see is Servage do not have a way to zip everything into One directory - for A2 to expand on their own servers..hmmm.

     

    Is there anything obvious I have not considered ? keep in mind I do not do this very often - in fact this is the second time I have ever done it.

     

    I'm hoping all of my emails addresses, my special scripts and everything else thats slightly less than normal will continue to work !! time will tell.

  15. I am still on 5.2.12 and will not be upgrading until I really have to - (because I am frightened of breaking the hard work Brian has helped me with in terms of getting my custom mods to work properly.)

     

    I am however keen on upgrading Analytics to the latest version as my website seems to be working now, quite well in terms of sales and I want to know more about the customers.

     

    sooo, I will implement this now following Brian's advice above and report back once I know if its working properly- you know me, I will be back to report if its not working too.

     

    ** For those using the Vector skin go to line 79 for the part you are looking to replace - its not at the top.

  16. Thanks Brian, that's an excellent suggestion.

     

    I just want a way to post images, with some explanatory text about how I have made a particular product (which is tied to the main site by domain) as doing this via social network sites is all well and good but at the end onf the day I have no full control over those platforms.

     

    I was also hoping to same the same look/feel as the rest of the site so your suggestion is spot on :)

    .. and from what you say it sounds like you were involved in that creation too.. outstanding.

  17. I'm looking to add a Blog about my products and link to it from my Cubecart so look out for my next barrage of questions :)

     

    I guess the best way is to use a Wordpress blog ? or is there a Cubecart version I have not seen ??

     

    Of course I would like Greyprint.co.uk/Blog

  18. I had this problem a few times, Momar did respond eventually - it seems somebody (jollygreenj*ant) had been hijacking my domain, somehow claiming my license as his own.

     

    He was able to hijack my license as I hadnt gone into my shopdev account and 'Locked' my domain - Homar did it in the end but at no point was I told to do this.
