VirtueMart Default Layout problems

[tomshirvo]

Hi All,

I have a site http://www.percys.com.au this has the version of virtuemart1.9.8.RC2M_extract_first.zip

I then went to update it on a test www.percys.com.au/temp with any of the new versions currently com_virtuemart2.0.0_RC3_Pre_i_extract_first.zip

And if you are to go these sites you will notice that the front page is all stuffed up. but it is only the VirtueMart Default Layout and everything else is working fine

[tomshirvo]

Thought I might include the code that is inside the Shop description

Hmm, sorry I dont have any clue. Maybe the template guys know, for me it does not look like a virtuemart specific problem.

[tomshirvo]

yes it is really strange, when it is not there it works fine and I rewrote the html in the shop description and it works until I added text inside the second column and it goes all crazy

[tomshirvo]

I have played around with it and it seems to do it when you add a table. There must be a tag that isn't closed somewhere

start here

Then validate and check for problems

Just Figured it out, the table that the description (virtuemart_vendors_en_gb) is held in the field "vendor_store_desc" was changed down to only 2048 from 8096 it was in my version. I just changed the size back and it worked like a charm

[Milbo]

I rised it now to varchar(65635), Which is downsizing when it is smaller anyway.
