[SOLVED] Extra Link in blockcms?

[Guest]

Hi everyone,

 

I can't for the life of me figure this small problem out. For some reason an extra <a></a> is being added to the first item only on the contact page.

 

Any ideas? I've searched through the blockcms.tpl file and contact-form.tpl but I can't find anything.

Hi

 

Can you give a link to the affected page. Otherwise, you should check your blockcms.tpl file inside your theme's module's folder to ensure the problem is not in there.

[vekia]

i see that its customized one (theme)

so, if it is possible - please attach contents of your .tpl file here

[Guest]

Thanks for the suggestions! I still cannot find anything unfortunately.

 

Here is the affected page:

Here is my blockcms.tpl:

Sorry to bump this thread but I cannot figure this out for the life of me! It's only on the contact page. I see now it starts at footer-container-inner and then shows at every div/ul/li until the main problem then stops.

 

Do you guys have any ideas for directions that I can pursue?

 

[tuk66]

Try to disable CCC for a while.

[helldog2004]

easiest solution edit your css file and add this code:

section.footer-block:nth-child(2) > ul:nth-child(2) > li:nth-child(2) > a:nth-child(1) {display: none;}

That should remove the extra bullet.

Hey tuk, I have disabled CCC except for apache optimization. Nothing has changed in spite of clearing cache. You said keep it off for a while, will anything change with time despite me clearing the cache?

 

Thanks hell dog but unfortunately the CSS did not work (I verified it was in the stylesheet).

[tuk66]

It is your theme! Nested <a> tags. The pop-up is for the "About us" element.

[Guest]

Hi tuk,

 

Thanks for checking that out for me.

 

I'm not sure I understand what to do with that. I don't see any improper nesting in the code of blockcms.tpl:

 

 

<li class="item">
<a href="{$link->getCMSLink('4', 'about-us')}" title="{l s='About Us'}">{l s='About Us' mod='blockcms'}</a>
</li>

[tuk66]

Check the source code of the page, not template.

[Guest]

Hi tuk,

 

I'm not seeing any of those errors when I view page source.

 

 

<ul class="toggle-footer bullet">
<li class="item">
<a href="http://shopiwillbringchange.com/en/content/4-about-us" title="About Us">About Us</a>
</li>

[tuk66]

I'm using Firefox and the <a> element is red on my source code page. The pop-up will appear on it. So there is an unclosed <a> tag somewhere on the page. That is the problem. You need to check all <a> tags on the page.

[Guest]

Ah! Wow, I feel so stupid now. How could I have missed something so simple.

 

Thank you my friend! Much appreciated.

[tuk66]

You have missed nothing. I have seen that strange issue and the red element the first time as well. We can always learn something new.
