Questions, Errors and Solutions
 

Q1. Why images are not loaded on Result Page?

Make sure you have made all the Images (gif,jpeg etc.) and Links URL to absolute (NOT relative or short URL)
  • Example:
    <IMG SRC="http://www.yoursite.com/location_of_the_image.gif" ... >

    • Q2. Why CurryGuide Home Page appears instead of BookShop?

    You did NOT include your AccountName in your URL or query. You must include your CORRECT AccountName as shown below:
     
    Paid Accounts: http://bookshop.curryguide.com/execute/bookshop/pbshop?ac=AccountName
     
    Free Accounts:
    http://bookshop.curryguide.com/execute/bshop/bshop?ac=AccountName
     
    In your Book Search Form, you must pass the AccountName as follows:
     
    <input type=hidden name="ac" value="AccountName">
     

    Q3. I have been trying to change the BookShop Template but the auto-installer waits about a minute and gives a time-out error. What's wrong?

    This is NOT an error. It happens when your server is too busy (or overloaded or there is extreamly heavy traffic on the route between your server and ours) and it takes more than a minute to deliver the Result Template. Please wait for some time and try again. If it happens persistently, you should REALLY check the performance of your server.
  • Tip: Changing the Template should not take more than a few seconds. If in doubt, contact us.

    • Q4. I cannot change the BookShop Template

    Make sure you type the correct FULL URL of the Template. You should also make sure that your Template includes system TAG $SHOWBOOKSHOP where the bookshop content would show-up.

    Q5. My BookShop Template/Page has an image set as page background. But is is not loaded

    ALL the images on your 'Templete' MUST have full (absolute) URL. If I understood you correctly, you are using an image as a page background and when BookShop are shown, it does not show the background image. Here is why....
  • You are using something like the following:
     
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Title of Your Page</title>
    </head>
    <body background="background.gif" text="000000" link="0000ff" vlink="808080">

    All you need is put the full URL of the background image (instead of the relative URL shown in red text) like the following:

    http://your.website.com/Full_URL_of_background.gif

    • Q6. I cannot center the generated contents keeping the original layout. I put <p align=center>$SHOWBOOKSHOP</p>, but it destroys the layout and centers every line?

    Use a table to change the alignment. The idea is, put the content in a table and change the alignment of the table as required. See the example below:
     
    <table ....... >
    <tr>
    <td>
     
    $SHOWBOOKSHOP
     
    </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
     
  • Hint: To CENTER the results, simply put <center> and </center> around the above Table. You can control the width of output layout with an appropriate TABLE WIDTH.
    Do NOT make the width of the page or Table less than 480 pixels, otherwise pages may not always fit nicely on every screen.
