Social Following links not online (disappears) :(

Hi,

 

When i go to Modules and to Theme configurator, i go to Display the social following links.

There i can put my Facebook link and Twitter link. Every time when i click on safe, al mij information wil disappear and i see no URL anymore (what i put just a second ago there).

 

That is the problem? And why i can't put my url info there, every time it disappears :(

It seems that there is a bug saving the social links to the database.

 

As a temporary solution, you can use a text editor / dreamweaver and in themes/your-theme/blocksocial/blocksocial.tpl, comment out the existing code and manually enter the social links. This is will at least allow the links to work on your site.

 

e.g.

Comment out this

<a target="_blank" href="{$twitter_url|escape:html:'UTF-8'}">

 

and replace with this

<a target="_blank" href="MY-TWITTER-ACCOUNT">

MY-TWITTER-ACCOUNT being the URL for your twitter account.

That is not HOT :(  That is a pity!!

 

Are there more bug's at the moment? Is it good to install now version 1.6?

 

 

I have a other problem too: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/318100-homepage-not-the-same-like-your-test-shop-or-new-shop-install/     

 

And now i don't know if i have to stay on 1.6 or that i have to wait and go back to the old version?

Who can help me with this question and with the question on: http://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/318100-homepage-not-the-same-like-your-test-shop-or-new-shop-install/

With any new release, there are bound to be some minor bugs, and this one really is minor. Most bugs were sorted out during the previous releases, but you have to be fair to Prestashop HQ, and know that they can only spot a bug if it is reported on bug tracker. During Beta testing, I reported a whole bunch of them and they were all fixed really quickly.

 

See if this one has been reported, and if not, report it yourself and you will be amazed at how quickly it is fixed.

Original code works without problem for me.

Try to reset module as bside2234 said. It's a good idea to reset modules after upgrade
