Author Message Steve_S Posted: 5/11/2009 Quote message  First of all, fantastic work. My version of Artister which was installed and purchased on 5/9/09: 2.1.0.16090 My version of Wordpress: 2.7.1 BUG: Editing the links in the footer which have the # character in them at export: Go to WP admin > appearance > footer Change the links and click Save. Result: The code gets scrambled with additional characters so it does not work. Click Save a few more times and new junk characters get inserted. It does not support the a tag. All I can place in the footer is plain text. I need to place valid code for links. I don't see a simple workaround. My Blog is at: http://www.mypanamablog.com Please acknowledge and continued best wishes for a fantastic product.   Chris Posted: 5/11/2009 Quote message  I am also having this problem Artister 2.1.0.16090 Wordpress: 2.7.1   Garry Posted: 5/12/2009 Quote message  You can simply change the footer text/links in footer.php which will be in your theme files   Steve_S Posted: 5/12/2009 Quote message  Gary, Thanks for the post and I hope you are not offended by what I say and ask. It's a great product and ALL software has little glitches so a question: Have the developers of this product acknowledged that this is a BUG and intend to fix it in the not to distant future? Comments: It's not that simple. Lets remember we are dealing with the LATEST version of Artsister so we have several problems: 1) If you set your export options to NOT include links in the footer then you have NO LINKS to edit in footer.php. ONLY the RSS and thats coded differently then normal everyday a tags 2) In the Dashboard/Admin of WP you have placed an option with dummy links as in "#". If I sell the theme and the user sees them in the WP Admin and tries to change them which they certainly will do then we have a SUPPORT issue for ME. My theme looks like dung. 3) I have no intention of editing the MySQL database of a client before we install the theme. 4) YOU have a support issue that will rear it's ugly head dozens and dozens of times with the WP Theme since their is NO WAY I can turn off those dummy links in the export options. They ALWAYS appear. 5) For the moment I have to edit footer.php for the client, log into their dashboard and remove the dummy links for them. This costs me money and time. Continued best wishes Steve   Norma Posted: 5/19/2009 Quote message  I am having the same trouble. As I intend to distribute these themes, I have no desire to add to my support issues. Artisteer is a great product and I love it! However, this bug needs to be addressed as soon as possible for me. Thanks!   Will Posted: 5/20/2009 Quote message  Have the same problem, and have sent email to artisteer support, but they've not replied. Can anyone suggest a fix? Thanks.   Steve Posted: 5/21/2009 Quote message  I'm having same problems. As I'm not selling these to clients and only need to fix them for myself. Can anyone please tell me what I need to do. Thanks.   Norma Posted: 5/27/2009 Quote message  Still waiting for this to be addressed. Does anyone have fix? Thanks.   Steve_S Posted: 5/27/2009 Quote message  I first reported this Bug at the top of this thread on 5/11/2009. :) For such a really great product, I'n disapointed to hear that none of us have any OFFICIAL answers from the Company. Without getting to technical, to fix this will require a bug fix version. Their is NOTHING any of us can do. I repeat, NOTHING. Unless, you want to edit the MySQL tables of every client who installs our Themes and even then, they can overwrite the hacks to the table with exactly one mouse click. I'm on your side. Trust me. :) That "footer" appears every time a Theme is activated so even if you hacked it out in the MySQL table, all a client would have to do is install a new theme and the table is modified and we are back to square one. :)   Dave Posted: 5/27/2009 Quote message  Artisteer Do not seem to bother answering any support questions. It's a real same because they have a good product. I certainly won't buy another product of these guys.   Bob Posted: 5/30/2009 Quote message  Including code in the Dashboard Footer feature. Simple solution!! Just enter URL's with NO “quotes”. <a href=”http://www.gdscomp.com”>GDScomp<a/> WON’T WORK <a href=http://www.gdscomp.com>GDScomp<a/> Will Work Fine. Try It.   WillDee Posted: 6/2/2009 Quote message  You can also permanently fix it by modifying the \Artisteer 2\Library\Data\Templates\WordPress\Export\Glyphs\FooterText.html file to read as follows: global $default_footer_content; $footer_content = get_option('art_footer_content'); if ($footer_content === false) $footer_content = $default_footer_content; echo stripslashes($footer_content);   Jon Posted: 6/18/2009 Quote message  Bob, it does work to remove the quotation marks but the site no longer passes through the W3C validation. WillDee, this does not seem to be working. The only difference i can see in your fix above is to replace the 4th line which makes no difference.   hoekie Posted: 3/9/2010 Quote message  hello? problem is still there and no one seems to bother anymore? H.   Dave Porter Posted: 3/9/2010 Quote message  Hi Hoekie, This is quite an old thread and discusses 2.1 which is quite old now, so I'm surprised if this is still the case, as I don't recall it being discussed. If you are certain there is an issue create a new 'Case' via the support link in the left menu, so that Artisteer are aware of it ! cheers Dave   Garry Posted: 3/11/2010 Quote message  @ Hoekie, It was a very old issue which has been fixed. You should describe your issue opening a new thread as Dave advised.
