Just updated my site and the Indoors template is as from the original download except I have attached the database. I have altered the project file in Dreamweaver but when I upload it the original template is still showing in the browser. I have checked the file by retrieving from the server and it is the one I have made changes to except it is not showing images and the layout correctly. It is on mplsales.co.uk

Hi Dave

When you make a change to the dwt file it should update all your front end store pages with the changes. Those will then need uploading to the server, the dwt file is just a design tool and doesn't necessarily need uploading.

That was quick Andy...The pages are updating ok but now the site is not showing as it should, if you can have a look I am sure you will know why !! Can you please look it is mplsales.co.uk

Dave

It seems a lot of the paths are pointing to your hard drive eg

<link href="file:///C|/Users/t/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="file:///C|/Users/t/js/html5.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///C|/Users/t/css/responsivemobilemenu.css">
<script src="file:///C|/Users/t/js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="file:///C|/Users/t/js/responsivemobilemenu.js"></script>
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Exo+2:400,400italic,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href="file:///C|/Users/t/css/ectcart.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

That's causing the problem. Are you using Dreamweaver or Expression Web?

It looks like css to me..this is the code on the project file

<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, initial-scale=1" />
<link href="file:///C|/Users/t/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="file:///C|/Users/t/js/html5.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="file:///C|/Users/t/css/responsivemobilemenu.css">
<script src="file:///C|/Users/t/js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="file:///C|/Users/t/js/responsivemobilemenu.js"></script>
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Exo+2:400,400italic,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href="file:///C|/Users/t/css/ectcart.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Should the source be my hardrive file?

Dave

Funny, you spotted that as I was making my post I'ts Dreamweaver

Dave

OK; can you make sure you have defined the Site within Dreamweaver, Site > New Site from the top menu - you will still probably have to tidy up those paths though via the dwt file.

Site is defined and updating, I have made these changes but not sure about one line..


<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, maximum-scale=1.0, minimum-scale=1.0, initial-scale=1" />
<link href="../css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="file:///C|/Users/t/js/html5.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../css/responsivemobilemenu.css">
<script src="../jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="../responsivemobilemenu.js"></script>
<link href='https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Exo+2:400,400italic,700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
<link href="../css/ectcart.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

Dave

Can I go back...all links to hard drive files sorted. I think it is something to do with the css which I have not touched, any ideas you can point me to try out?

Dave

This line

<script type="text/javascript" src="file:///C|/Users/t/js/html5.js"></script>

should be

<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/html5.js"></script>

Can you let me know what you mean about "go back"?

Not sure if Dream Weaver has the same quirk as Expression Web, but saving any page in Design View or adding a base URL can cause those files to change to your computer path. As a safety measure, always save pages in Code View.

Hi Dave, I noticed the chimneyandflue site has a mix of links some point to https://chimneyandflue (s-steel)while others point to https://www.chimneyandflue (black) the links need to be consistent or customers will lose items in their cart as www and non-www create different sessions.

1. In the .dwt file set the links a relative so that they are like:

<li><a href="/category/Twin-Wall-Chimney-S-Steel">Twin Wall Chimney S/Steel</a></li>
<li><a href="/category/Twin-Wall-Chimney-Black">Twin Wall Chimney Black</a></li>

2. It looks like the admin store url is setup using www, check with your host on how to re-direct traffic to the www version of the domain using a .htaccess directive. There is a sample by ITZAP here https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=106851 To test that the redirect is working clear your browser history and cache then browse to the your site https://yourdomain.com and it should redirect you to https://www.yourdomain.com you can also google your domain and click on a link that does not have the www to make sure it goes to https://www.yourdomain.com
