I've got a couple of minor problems with my site. They are probably easy to fix but because i have limited knowledge of html, css, php etc i dont know how to fix them.

one of the problems is that the link to my 'About Us' page does not work, i get an Error 500 message. Ive had a look at the templates, but i makess little sense to me, especially the PHP code

the other problem is the on 'Top Sites' and 'New Sites' pages, a gap appears between the Navbar andd the main section, which looks ugly

anyone got any ideas on how i can fix these things?

Im using PHPLD script if that helps

thanks in advance

oh, and here's a link to the site

Try to delete highlighted part of code and gap will disappear.

<table class="border2" align="center" border="0" width="770">
<tbody><tr><td class="bar">
<a href="http://www.randyboo.com/">Home</a> | 
<a href="http://www.randyboo.com/submit.php" title="Submit your link to the directory">Submit Site</a> | 
<a href="http://www.randyboo.com/index.php?list=top" title="Browse most popular links">Top Sites</a> | 
<a href="http://www.randyboo.com/index.php?list=latest" title="Browse New submitted links">New Sites</a> | 
<a href="http://www.randyboo.com/about.php" title="About Us">About Us</a> | 
 <a></a></td></tr></tbody></table><br>

There are more things to fix.

To 'About Us' page. I need to see code for that page called about.php.

So if you could post it maybe I could help.

Thanks Dusko, that worked a charm, the gap has gone

Here is the code for the "About Us" page which isn't working:

{capture name="title"} - {l}About Us{/l}{/capture} {capture assign="in_page_title"}{l}About Allthelink directory{/l}{/capture} {capture assign="description"}{l}Information About Allthelink directory{/l}{/capture}
{include file="header.tpl"} {include file="top_bar.tpl"} {strip}
<table width="770" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td width="70%" valign="top">
<table width="98%" border="0" class="border">
<tr><td class="bar">{l}About Us{/l}
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<table width="98%" border="0" cellpadding="4" class="box_border">
<tr><td class="linkshortdesc">
<div align="justify">

Place for your about us information...

</div></td></tr>
</table>
{if $error}
<div class="break"></div>
{/if}
</td>
<td width="230" valign="top">
{include file="right.tpl"}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
{include file="footer.tpl"}
{/strip}

hope that helps

(Talkupation added, thanks)

Are you sure that is a php page? php pages normall start with

<?php

and end with ?>

I don't think the code will work unless it has the above.

Honestly I have never seen the code like this before. Is that supposed to be PHP? As far as I know It's not.

I am sorry but I am not able to help here.

I suggest send it to different forum

Did you use the free version of phpld or did you pay for the proper one? If so make sure the about us page is uploaded, and remember if its on unix its case sensative so About.php is different that about.php.

you'll have to forgive me for being such an idiot with these things

I dont know much about coding, and in my confussion i gave you the code for a 'About Us' template page (It has the extension .tpl, i guess that means template).

On further investigation i appears i don't have an About Us PHP file, the free template i originally used for the site has the link for it, hence the error 500... not sure what to do now. Would it be easy to make an About us PHP page?

Thanks for the help btw

Well if the about php file is missing just create a new one but do it as html then at the the very top of the code put <?php and at the very bottom put ?> then save it as about.php and upload it, at least you will stop the 505 error, do you have a page in html that you can copy or is it all php, cus you could do the same with a php file just copy it, rename it about.php then upload it.

You will of course need to add the content to the php page.

Thanks Knives

It's sorted now, managed it by doing what you described

Problem fixed

cheers, im still working on it. need to sort a better logo out
