Your header HTML is messed up, it looks like you have modified it.

yes yes, you have a closing body tag in your header--why?
and you are missing the beginning of some tag(s) just before your main image tag... seems to be outside of the td when it should be inside.

hope that gives you a place to start

find this in your header.thtml
Text Formatted Code
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000">
<center>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                        <tr>                            align="left" valign="middle"><a href="http://souldistortion.com"><img src="http://souldistortion.com/layout/gameserver/theme-images/gameserver_logo2.gif" width="100%" alt="gameserver_logo2.gif" border="0"></a></td>                          <td valign="center" align="center">

                                                <div align="center">
                                                        <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
                                                                <tr>
                                                                </tr>
                                                        </table>
                                                </div>
                                        </td>
                                </form>
                        </tr>

                        <tr>
                                <td colspan="2"></td>
                        </tr>
                </table>

 
and change to this
Text Formatted Code
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000" link="#000000" vlink="#000000" alink="#000000">
<center>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
        <td align="left" valign="middle">
            <a href="http://souldistortion.com"><img src="http://souldistortion.com/layout/gameserver/theme-images/gameserver_logo2.gif" width="100%" alt="gameserver_logo2.gif" border="0"></a>
        </td>
     </tr>
</table>

 
that will take care of at least one of your problems... we'll go from there once you've done that.

somehow COM_siteFooter is being loaded twice. that means that either you've edited your php files somewhere (index.php or lib-common.php) or you've edited your thtml files inserting/copying variables that shouldn't be whereever you put them.. I know, that's not much help.

try this. upgrade from 1.3.9sr1 to 1.3.11 making sure to update your theme accordingly. I would suggest getting the theme pack from here at geeklog.net. I believe that the gameserver theme in that pack includes most, if not all, of the updates required to run with 1.3.11.

Thanks machinari.

I completed step one. Still no change. I will try the upgrade. Hopefully that will work. I'm 100% certain I dind't touch any file other than " header". So if the damage was done in header, that's my bad. Not sure how the others would have gotten edited.

**SIGH**

I'll keep trying. Thanks gaain and I'll keep you posted.

If anyone else can offer some help, that would rock. Thanks allot.

actually there was a change, however, because my display is much larger than that huge picture you had in there, I was able to see a problem that perhaps you couldn't--code that was being displayed as text on your page. to the left/top of your image depending upon the browser it was being viewed in. Of course this fix wouldn't have any effect on the main problem, ie, the content and rightblocks being called twice.

as far as having only edited the header.thtml file... I'm still curious how the closing body tag got in there.

but now I see that you have an altogether different problem--no page at all. You must be in the middle of upgrading.

Hi,

From what I can see now, you call your body again after your footer.thtml is called.

Actually, you call your footer earlier since everything you click on is displayed at the bottom as M. already mentioned.

Also, very strange thing is that I see the admin menu as anonymous which is not a standard behaviour.

** Edit, Your page actually thinks I am You, but luckely forces an authentication when I try to click anywhere. **

I suggest the following to make sure it´s the theme.

Switch to the standard professional theme and see if this fixes the problem.

If it does, you are almost sure that it is a template issue and we don´t really need to look in the php files.

Can you confirm everything works fine with the standard theme ?

Greetz,
Boris

Okie, from what I understand, it´s not that you call your footer twice, but you actually load your index page twice.

If you go to any other link on your page as the index one, you will see that you load the index page before the actual content.

I am trying to simulate this behaviour, so I could be more specific, but since you said you only changed the header.thtml, I suggest you take a close look there and see if you didn´t include something you shouldnt.

Maybe post it here.


** One extra thought I had, you didn´t add a static page/block recently that includes php code refering to your index.php ?

Best Regards,
Boris

It looks to me like you have cut and copied the actual html output from your index page to your header.thtml file you can see it here: http://www.souldistortion.com/layout/gameserver/header.thtml

You should just grab a new header.thtml file from the gameserver theme and start over.

here is a default header.thtml file http://www.geeklog.net/layout/gameserver/header.thtml
Yes I am mental.

Indeed. Thanks all for your feedback. Just proof what a GREAT community we have here. I really do appreciate it.

Guess what? It's 1:00am and I found an old original header that I did save ( WOW)

I just loaded it an it's back to my old problem of showing the pic size wrong and the search bar.

but guess what, I can figure that kinda shit out. HA HHA HA


What a PIA. I wish I could do this fulltime instead of being my hobby.

Thanks again all!!! You all ROCK!!

Mike
