No Title on Adverts
« on: September 24, 2009, 02:55:03 PM »
Hi,

I have just set up some text adverts and integrated them with my website. All is fine except I don't get the title of the advert displaying or the website link, I get the description but nothing else.

The title has been set to #990000 (red) in the settings, and it displays in the preview correctly, but not in the actual delivery. Here is the code copied from the source of my webpage:

.textadsTITLECOLOR a:link { color: #990000; text-decoration:none; font-size: 14px; }


<table class="textadsWIDTH">
  <tr>
    <td class="textadsBG"><strong><span class="textadsTITLECOLOR">

    <A HREF="" onclick="window.open('http://...../adbox/clickcounter.php?get_id=3','childWin','');return false;">
            </A></span></strong><BR>
      <span class="textadsDESCCOLOR">I have 75 characters in this box to describe what it is I am selling. I thi</span>
    </td>
  </tr>

</table>


Any ideas? Is it a code bug?

Hope you can help

Update:

I have just called the preview.php page direct and not through the admin panel link, and the titles have again disappeared. So contrary to the above the title is not displaying in the preview.

I have checked the  database tables and the titles are present.

Hope that helps narrow it down a little more. looking forward to your reply.

More update.

I have found out that the variable  $row[TITLE] must be clashing with another variable set on my site (an OSCommerce install).

If I change the variable to  $row[OLDTITLE] then I can get a title shown (when there is info in the OLDTITLE field of course)

So now I know what the problem is - how do I get around this?

This site needs to go live in a few days so I could really do with some help on this ASAP, sorry to push but I have already promised a deadline.

Hope you can help

Well, so much for this support forum.

62 visitors have looked at this thread so far and not one has replied. And the lack of activity from the developer quite frankly leaves me cold. Even a message saying 'I haven't got a clue' is better than no message at all.

This script was exactly what I was looking for and yet it doesn't work on my install of OSC, I'm having to get a php freelancer to look at it for me because of the lack of support here.

Thanks for nothing, very disappointing.
