Hi there,
I've been looking for some directory software for a couple of days and have just installed your trial version of WSN Directory on my site.

I've found a few bugs that i'd like to ask about before buying.
1)When visiting a listings detail page the URL for the listing is written correctly but goes to the details page that i’m already on (example: www.anythingforhire.co.uk/t...tegory/web-leasing-15.html)

2)The smiles and star ratings are not working when I click on them (missing javascript reference?)

3)I've had a few problems logging onto the admin panel after a password change – changing browsers fixed this but even after deleting cookies i still can’t login in the other browser.

Apart from that I think this is an excellent piece of software and has all the features that we're looking for

Thanks
Jo

I'm not the administrator of this site, but a happy user of wsn products, and Paul has the final say but I might be able to help you with a couple issues.

If you haven't changed any of your template code in the admin backend....

#2 - ratings... in the admin backend (Admin> Members> Manage usergroups > guests): do guests have the ability to rate items? If these boxes are not checked, the usergroup does not have permission to use that feature of the website. I checked your site and as a guest was unable to leave a rating.

# 2 smilies... is the switch for smilies turned on (checked)? Admin > Settings > Switches > Miscellaneous >

# 3 Sometimes you also have to delete your internet browser's cache as well depending on the browser. Try that as well as deleting cookies to reset.

For #1, because I don't have access to your templates, I can't answer that one for you. Did you change any of the code in the template?

Thanks for the reply-

I checked all the settings and the ratings and similes are still not working when there're suppose to. Also this was just a test install (as you can probably see) so i've not made any changes to the templates or anything.

So i'm still a bit stuck really!

There are no problems with rating links on your website. You've probably left it set to not allow the submitter to rate their own, and you're the submitter. I just rated one of your links.

Smilies are also working perfectly on your site, at least on your post comment area I tested. Possibly you're using the WYSIWYG editor and didn't see that it asks you to drag the smilie to the location, unlike the regular editor where you click.

I've no idea what you mean about the details page. Looks normal to me.

What browser are you having trouble with?

We actually brought the software and I figured out the problems myself- which is why they were fixed when you looked.
I had to edit the template to fix the link on the details page. The smilies and ratings had a javascript problem to do with this:



function updatestate(country)
{
if (country.value == {DEFAULTCOUNTRY})
{
document.getElementById('americanstate').style.display = "block";
document.getElementById('foreignstate').style.display = "none";
}
else
{
document.getElementById('americanstate').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('foreignstate').style.display = "block";
}
}


I think this problem happened when I changed the states/provinces bit- i'm not sure though. I removed the javascript code above and everything is fine again. I'm not sure if i needed that code - but so far so good!

You do need the code depending on your selections. Just change if (country.value == {DEFAULTCOUNTRY}) to if (country.value == '{DEFAULTCOUNTRY}')
