CartPlog Footer Issue?
Please see attached screen shot.

The popular products block on the left side when I first go to my shopping cart breaks the default theme layout by extending into and past the footer. Once I refresh the page it corrects itself. This only happens when you first enter the shopping cart. If I clear the cache in Firefox it will break again and extend into the footer.

How can this problem be fixed? This board is on vBulletin 3.6.4 and to confirm with you your mod works perfect except this footer issue.

How to Add $ to Price
My second question. Can you show me how to add a $ before the cost of products please. So instead of 20 it would display as $20.

Thanks!

That page should be valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional so it might have something to do with how Firefox renders the page. See here for more information, and try letting Firefox completely load the page before you scroll.

You'll need to edit the CartPlog templates (search for currency) using & #36; (without spaces) for the dollar sign so not to have any confusion with variables.

In internet explorer the shopping cart renders fine. In Firefox the page is loaded fully and I am not scrolling but again as my screen shot in my previous post shows the left side block breaks into the footer. Wish there was a way I could add code to prevent it from happing. Yea yea yea I know I need to update my board! LOL

Thanks for the $ hint. I will try to implement adding the $. Can you give me examples on how to add the $ code to a line in the templates.

Thanks,

Thanks,

Lets say $variable is equal to 4

To get it to display $4 you would use

&_#36;$variable

Removing the red part

Yea I figures out how to code the $. Now can you please fix the problem with the left blocks. Is there some code I can add to make sure the left blocks don't break into the footer.

Thanks

That page should be valid XHTML 1.0 Transitional but you could try using different HTML if you want to change the look of the page.

Yes, this modification is marked as unsupported, but other questions including the question about a commercial version have already been answered.

CartPlog was released on vBorg for people to use, but additional features are left up to individuals to code into the version of CartPlog on their server. Just because someone wants a feature doesn't mean that I'm going to code it.
