Chris, did you know that at the bottom of the page they show you a clearned up version of your code? Does that not work either?

dontknow

Chris Powell · Mar 31, 2007

Yes I know but that makes it even worse using the entire code from it because it includes everything due to these being in about.php file

{capture name="title"} - {l}About{/l}{/capture}
{capture assign="in_page_title"}{l}About{/l}{/capture}
{capture assign="description"}{l}About Us{/l}{/capture}
{include file="header.tpl"}
{include file="top_bar.tpl"}

Content.

{include file="footer.tpl"}

I’ve already cleaned loads up but I’m stuck on the 9 errors I can get rid of a few more if I remove the center tags too but I need them in there. Funny how they don’t mess up another page that I did

I’m stumped with this page. Very confusing dontknow

The problem was caused by two errors in the about.tpl file. The first problem was that a center tag was not terminated. It looks like a copy and paste error. There were two begin center tags rather than a begin and ending center tag...

The second problem was that there were two begin div tags and only one ending div tag. By removing one of the begin div tags and ending the second center tag in the about.tpl file, the about.php file validates now...

Ok, thanks Blake. I've shortened both about.php and guidelines.php page and they still validate... picking it up a lot better now. Thanks.

Any idea how to bring the purple background through on the about.php and guidelines.php pages like how it looks on the submit.php page etc??

Cheers man headbang

Yes, by encasing the code in the about_our_directory.tpl file between the div forumline class tags, that makes the background the same color as the main page...

I see what you did to get the forum colours showing on the page Applause

good stuff! Thanks Blake headbang

Nightrider · Sep 25, 2004

It's really pretty simple once you understand the class relationships. That is the easiest part about following this code...

The quicker I understand them the better heh banana

Btw I’ve just checked this page http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.djpassion.co.uk%2Fd irectory%2Fsubmit.php at w3c and it has 20 errors. All pages validated before the template was changed. Now I don't want to mess with it because I'll just mess your work up no doubt. Any chance you can spare a minute or so just to correct the errors for me please...!? blob8

To get this to Pass, I had to modify code that I never touched plus I had to make a couple of database record assignment changes. The first thing I had to do was edit the submit.tpl file and change all the end >s for the checkbox inputs to /> instead. That corrected all but one warning and one critical error. Then I had to go into your PLD_CONFIG table and change the & in your THREE_WAY_LINK_TITLE and DIRECTORY_TITLE records to &. That took care of the last two errors and now passes with flying colors...
