Lost the content from my homepage

[moonette]

I have lost the content on my homepage. 

 

this is my homepage:

http://www.eternamemories.com/shop/

 

And there is none of the text from the site docs.

 

But if I put this URL it shows up:

http://www.eternamemories.com/shop/index.php?_a=document&doc_id=5

 

 

[moonette]

I have indicated in my site docs that this is my homepage

[Dirty Butter]

www.eternamemories.com/index.html works as well. Where is this /shop/ part coming from???

[moonette]

The store is under /shop/

[Dirty Butter]

I asked, because the HOME link from http://www.eternamemories.com/shop/index.php?_a=document&doc_id=5 goes to a homepage WITHOUT /shop/. Could it be that you have an SEO url given for your home document that is not correct?

From what I see, this is your HTML rendered from the main.php template file, as seen by my browser:

     <div id="page_content">
        
                

        <p style="clear: both; height: 1px;">&nbsp;</p>
     </div><!--end of page_content-->

This is the standard statements from a stock skin:

      <div id="page_content">
        {include file='templates/box.errors.php'}
        {if isset($CHECKOUT_PROGRESS)}{$CHECKOUT_PROGRESS}{/if}
        {$PAGE_CONTENT}
        <p style="clear: both; height: 1px;">&nbsp;</p>
      </div>

Please examine the HTML in the main.php template file of your skin. Make sure that everything enclosed within braces is tightly enclosed - no whitespace:

{ $PAGE_CONTENT } <- Bad

{$PAGE_CONTENT} <- Good

 

I also see that you have SEO turned on, but the rewrite rules in the .htaccess file (or, if you are using a web server other than Apache, that server's means of rewriting URLs) is not performing properly. That is to say, I ask for /shop/index.php?_a=document&doc_id=7, and I get bounced to /shop/testimonials.html. But the web server reports that /shop/testimonials.html does not exist -- which, unless the rewrite rules are activated, is precisely the case.

 

Your web server reports itself as nginx/1.4.6. You will need to either: learn how to program the equivalent of Apache's .htaccess file for nginx, or consult with your hosting provider to assist, or not use SEO URLs.

It shows up for all the other pages, just not the home (shop) page. 

[moonette]

uggh... so confused.  I turned off the SEO URLS but still have the same problem that all the page content shows correctly,  But when someone goes to http://www.eternamemories.com/shop/ I want the home page to show up but the only way to get to the homepage is use this URL:  http://www.eternamemories.com/shop/index.php?_a=document&doc_id=5

 

I am not using the site docs as the navigation because my client wanted a home html page with a slideshow before people were immersed into a "shopping" experience.

"I have indicated in my [admin Documents list] that [Doc 5, Inspiration: The Why and What of EternaMemories “EternaBeadsâ€] is my homepage."

 

Does the "Status" column of the Documents list for this document have a green check?

Does the "Status" column of the Documents list for this document have a green check?

Yes, the "status" has a green check.  And "homepage" radio button is selected for this page.

Temporarily assign a different document as the Homepage document. Or create a new document with a simple Hello World! message and assign this new document as the Homepage document. Does a Homepage document show now?

 

In the skin's template file content.homepage.php, has this HTML been damaged:

{if isset($DOCUMENT)}
<div id="announcement">
    <h1>{$DOCUMENT.title}</h1>
     {$DOCUMENT.content}
</div>
 {/if} {if isset($LATEST_PRODUCTS)}

If you are NOT using CC528, ignore the following:

Please check this: Bring the troublesome Homepage document up for editing. Switch the editor to Source mode. Just note if there is a brace-asterisk sequence at or near the start of the document.

The content does show up when I go to this URL:  http://www.eternamemories.com/shop/index.php?_a=document&doc_id=5

 

The problem is that the page is blank if I just link to this URL:  http://www.eternamemories.com/shop/

 

It's like the content is there but it isn't recognizing doc_id 5 as my "homepage".

 

Here's what is in my content.homepage.php file:

 

{if isset($LATEST_PRODUCTS)}

<div>

  <h2>{$LANG.catalogue.latest_products}</h2>

  {foreach from=$LATEST_PRODUCTS item=product}

  <div class="latest_product">

    <form action="{$VAL_SELF}" method="post" class="addForm">

      <p class="image">

        <a href="{$product.url}" title="{$product.name}">

          <img src="{$product.image}" alt="{$product.name}" />

        </a>

      </p>

      <p class="title"><a href="{$product.url}" title="{$product.name}">{$product.name|truncate:38:"&hellip;"}</a></p>

      {if $product.review_score && $CTRL_REVIEW}

      <!-- Please uncomment to enable

      <p class="rating">

      {for $i = 1; $i <= 5; $i++}

        {if $product.review_score >= $i}

        <img src="{$STORE_URL}/skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/images/common/star.png" alt="" />

        {elseif $product.review_score > ($i - 1) && $product.review_score < $i}

        <img src="{$STORE_URL}/skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/images/common/star_half.png" alt="" />

        {else}

        <img src="{$STORE_URL}/skins/{$SKIN_FOLDER}/images/common/star_off.png" alt="" />

        {/if}

      {/for}

      </p>

      -->

      {/if}

      {if $product.ctrl_sale}

      <p class="price"><span class="price_previous">{$product.price}</span> <span class="price_sale">{$product.sale_price}</span></p>

      {else}

      <p class="price">{$product.price}</p>

      {/if}

      <p class="actions">

        <!-- Not shown in this skin

        <a href="{$product.url}" title="{$product.name}" class="button_black">{$LANG.common.info}</a>

        -->

        <input type="hidden" name="add" value="{$product.product_id}" />

        {if $product.ctrl_stock && !$CATALOGUE_MODE}

        <input type="submit" value="{$LANG.catalogue.add_to_basket}" class="button_add_basket" />

        {elseif !$CATALOGUE_MODE}

        <input type="submit" value="{$LANG.catalogue.out_of_stock_short}" class="button_add_basket disabled" disabled="disabled" />

        {/if}

      </p>

          </form>

  </div>

  {/foreach}

</div>

{/if}

For some reason, this skin template file is missing what I posted earlier. So, find:

{if isset($LATEST_PRODUCTS)}

and add above it:

{if isset($DOCUMENT)}
<div id="announcement">
    <h1>{$DOCUMENT.title}</h1>
     {$DOCUMENT.content}
</div>
 {/if}

What skin are you using?

What skin are you using?

A custom skin.  I had to hard code some of the nav because my client wants some of the categories to just have one product and link directly to that specific product. 

 

Your fix worked for me.  Thank you so much!
