Hi Loren,
V 7.1
the customer registration has a parsing problem messing up a picture link.
When I access the customer registration screens from the shopping cart
everything works fine.
Here is what happens, when I do not use the links from the shopping cart:
- I use the code generate by shopsite to put a customer registration link on
my homepage located @ http://www.watersafety.net (Our online store is
located @ http://www.danshop.com.)
- I click on the "Sign-in" link on www.watersafety.net and I am taken to the
sign in screen. The continue shopping button is NOT displayed correctly. The
source code for the buttons reads:
<input type=image
src="https://ssl.kundenserver.de/danshop.com/shopsite-images/cr/sign_in.gif"
class="button166" align="bottom" border="0" name="Anmelden" alt="Anmelden"
tabindex="3" onClick="return(CheckIt(166,0));" >
<a
href="http://www.danshop.com/cgi-bin/shopsite/sc/order.cgi?html_reg=registration&sbid=SSMSB1095435820.7520&storeid=*18d8a09cabcff9387d6fbd49402d"><img
src="https://ssl.kundenserver.de/danshop.com/shopsite-images/en-EU/https://ssl.kundenserver.de/danshop.com/shopsite-images/continue_shopping.gif"
border=0 alt="Weiter einkaufen"></a></p>
The first img URL is correct, the second does not work properly. In the back
office I have set the URL to the secure images like
https://ssl.kundenserver.de/danshop.com ... opping.gif
for the continue shopping button. This works properly for all buttons in all
screens, but not for the customer registration screen.
Here is how I did resolve this:
- copy the continue_shopping.gif image into the media/ directory.
- copy the continue_shopping.gif image into the shopsite/images/en-EU/
directory (your directory may be different if your are not set to English EU
in the local settings).
- In the image screen edit the image attributes for continue_shopping.gif
and put 'align="middle" ' and the correct 'alt=' text in the image
attributes.
- in the ->store preferences -> store text -> shopping cart screen, change
the absolute secure URL
https://ssl.kundenserver.de/danshop.com ... opping.gif
for the continue_shopping.gif image to simply "continue_shopping.gif"
- re-publish
=> Now the button displays correctly
No, I am not a shopsite genius. When we did the update from 7.0.3 to 7.1 we
had a similar problem and Loren was so kind to point me in the right
direction how to solve this.
So in case that you are updating and bumping in the same problem, this is
the way to help yourself.
Best regards,
Niko
