Blank pages when log in or add to cart

[rjdj2000]

Hello,

I have tried to search this forum for answers but I have not found any. When logging into the store, it goes to: Login : All Terrain Res-Q(tm) Online Store and all I get is a blank screen. If I hit the browsers back button, I am then logged in. The same thing happens when you go to add a product to the cart... Not sure what is going on. I have tried to find a error log in oscmax, but can't find anything there and my web server doesn't show an error for that url.

Any help will be appreciated...

Clear your cookies and cache in your browser. Your site works fine for me when adding to cart or when logging in.

Mike,

I think it is where I messed with the english.php file to re-order the account information and it screwed everything up. I re-uploaded the stock english.php file and everything worked again. Probably just before you tried the site.

I wished I knew why moving the city, state and zip input in english.php would have done that, but I will leave it as stock and just worry about the other mods.

I do have another question though, when clicking on some of the links in the admin panel, it opens up a new browser window. Is there something I'm missing on this to correct it? If you need to see it, PM me and I will give you access to the admin side.

Specify which links in the admin you are talking about regarding the new windows opening.

As for the problem when editing english.php, probably a simple syntax error. You cannot have extra blank space after the closing php tag (the ?> at the bottom of the file). There cannot be anything after that tag not even a single blank line.

If this is new information to you, I suggest you read a few basic php tutorials before proceeding.

You should also check that you have escaped using \ any " ' marks contained within the text defines of your language files. Otherwise you will get the white screen.

eg.

define ('TEST_TEXT', 'This is some test text with a \" quote \" marks displayed in it');

Mike,

Here are the ones that are opening in a new window:

Catalog:
Products Attributes
Manufacturers
Reviews
Specials
Cross-Sell
Easy Populate
Attribute manager
prod expect.
define main page
privacy page
conditions page
shipping page

Actually just about all of them are doing it, the Modules, Affiliates, Vouchers/Coupons, Infobox Admin and Article Manager are all opening in the same window. If there is a place to look to change something, let me know as I do know enough about PHP to modify something and I have installed a bunch of mods on an old OSC install before so it isn't something new, just something I don't use every day and I have to remember how to do things like the quotes and such.

Sounds like a browser setting to me, as none of the admin links are set to open in new windows. Never run across that behavior before, and osCmax never does this for me. I really am not sure how to direct you on that one.

[pgmarshall]

I have seen this behaviour once before but only on the v2.1 development code in IE7 - where IE did not understand target="_TOP" being the same as target="_top".

However, I am unaware of anything in 2.0.25 which would cause this ... If you are using IE as your browser - I suggest you switch to a decent browser - Chrome or FireFox.

Well I am using IE 8.0 and never had that happen to me before. Or at least until I put in this install of osc... Will try Firefox and see where that goes.........

Ok... So it works correctly in there... One other thing, I tried to install the check permissions mod in this and it would not show up in the tools section and I followed it to a 'T' on the install... as it is not that hard and I've done harder one's... Any reason as to why the link would not show up?

Have you set the admin file permission?
