Added some text to the Category Memo field and now I get an error in shopdisplaycategories.asp, the catmemostart is undefined.

Anyone else experience this?

what's the exact error message that you're getting ?

it might be that you've used a special/reserved character in the text, such as a double-quote; you'd need to deal with those differently using 2 sets of double-quotes, and/or chr(34)

the actual catmemo data itself shouldn't need this special-workaround to print properly; you'd only need to apply this to constants such as the catmemostart value.


eg: if you want the catmemostart value to print the following to your html output:

<font face='tahoma'>Here "Is" The CatMemoText:


then the command would be:

const catmemostart="<font face='tahoma'>Here ""Is"" The CatMemoText:"


or:

const catmemostart="<font face='tahoma'>Here "&chr(34)&"Is"&chr(34)&" The CatMemoText:"

I didn't copy the exact message at the time. When I have a chance to turn the feature back on and put some text in there I will copy it off. It essentially said catmemostart was undefined.

But no, there were not any questionable " % ' characters involved. It was just plain text with a period.

what version of vp-asp are you using ?

in v4.5 and onwards, catmemostart and catmemoend were created as new constants in shop$colors.asp, so in shop$colors.asp you should have the following lines in there somewhere:

const catmemostart="<p align=center><font face='tahoma,arial,verdana'>"
const catmemoend="</font></p>"

it sounds like those lines are missing or have incorrect syntax. or, an alternative might be that there's a missing quote on previous lines which is causing one constant's text value to include actual vbscript code later on.

Thanks!

For some odd reason we're using the version 4 colors file and have the version 5 file renamed. Hmmph.

Probably had a good reason for that at the time. Wonder what it was?
