reeecheee Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 All of a sudden my home text editor will not allow me to do anything new to it or delete anything. I also noticed my "stores" area is not working. I cannot add any new locations. I can how ever add new products with no issues. Any idea what happened and how to fix it????

Bill Dalton Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 I would uninstall the module and then try to reinstall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hi reeecheee, Have you tried turning on Force Compile and turning off Cache in your Back Office under Preferences > Performance? How about clearing your browser's cache? Is there a URL you can post where we can see this for ourselves? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS User Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) I have similar problem, everytime I update the Home Text Editor, after clicking "Save", the text I input within the Home Text Editor disappeared PLUS the web page where Home Text Editor section does NOT update at all. Advice? And yes, I did select "Force Compile" as well as the Cache option... No use... this happen in version 1.4.x so I am still stuck with stable version 1.3.6 hope you are the one can solve this issue, besides this, every other PrestaShop function great. Thanks.

PS User Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Update: After I decide to copy the Home Text Editor version 1.5 from the PrestaShop version 1.3.6 to PrestaShop 1.4.8.2 with Home Text Editor version 1.6, it worked. So... clearly the Home Text Editor version 1.6 has some problems!!! Edited July 4, 2012 by CLSoftwareDistro (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryG Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I updated to the new version 1.4.8.2 of PS with text editor v1.6. I can not save any text to the home page. Only the homepage logo works. I'd like to see a fix for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryG Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Could you do me a favor and email me v1.5 so I can have a working editor for my client while this software conflict with v1.6 is being resolved?

valibuk Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Hello. I just intalled prestashop 1,6. In all previous PS's I used Home Text as good SEO thing for my website so I could easily change H1 Tag, H2, site description and so on. New prestashop doesn't offer this module and me as noob @ codes I just don't know how to set up website @ seo properly. Can I download this module from old prestashop and use it there ? Or what method are you guys using ? I loved the simplicity of the old prestashops @ seo set up but now I just don't know what do to. Way to many pictures, new looks is killing it, really nice but old good prestashop things I really lack or just don't know where to find them. Sorry If I used wrong topic or gave answered questions, I just thought I'd ask if you don't mind Thank you assistence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dalton Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 valibuk, please look at Preferences > SEO & URLs Your home page is called "index" just click on the edit button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valibuk Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Bill, thank you for a reply. That's true, I can put there site description etc. But H1 Tag, H2 Tag I just can't which I could in hometext module in old prestashop. Any idea where can I find it ? Also I loved the texteditor because even If I used lotta of text as description, google took even whole page of text and my website was indexed on everything I wrote there, really amazing ( I ran over 20x prestashop website and tried to do everything @ seo ) Thank you.

Bill Dalton Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 (edited) Right, I get your point now. H tags are also referred to as Header tags. In the old days before Google made everyone think they were for SEO, they were just used for HTML markup. The good news is that the slider used in the new Prestashop uses the H tags. So for H1 you use Header 1 and for a smaller text H2 you choose Header 2 and so on. Just go to the slider in Modules, it is called "homeslider". It is very easy and fun to use. Just remember, for H1 choose Header 1 from the drop down box in the same row that has your bold button and so on.

Bill Dalton Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Also, I just took a look and the old module is still included with Prestashop. So if you would prefer to use that instead of the slider, in Modules look for "Home text editor" module it is also called "editorial". If you install it, the default location is bottom of your page, you'll need to go to Module positions and move it up your homepage. If you don't want the slider simply uninstall. You are back in business! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valibuk Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thank you for a reply Bill. Now it's more clear for me and it will for sure help a lot of amateurs who loves presta for its simplicity. Can I ask whether BLOG option in top hori. menu is just for show or it's already some kind of feature, module that is installed on prestashop and I just configure it with my site so I don't have to find a man who will install blog on my website ? Thank you for a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dalton Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) No, but the one I use is this, http://themeforest.net/collections/4126519-prestahome-modules It will also become part of your home page, you can see it in action here, http://www.prestahome.com/themes/control/ Scroll down until you see the words "FROM BLOG" The 3 images and text are from the blog. NICE! And it is compatible with PS 1.5X and PS 1.6X. Edited March 25, 2014 by Bill Dalton (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valibuk Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Bill, I've got one question. I found HomeText Editorial and I put in on website. Is there any chance that google will understand my website as this ? : H tags and site description will be taken from HomeText module we spoke about. But I really like the look of homeslider module, but I just don't want text to be used as tags of my website. So basically i'm trying to ask, is it possible to just leave those 3x slides empty and google will not look on it but all the info for SEO will be taken from hometext module (editorial) ? Thank you for a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Dalton Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 In my experience you simply need the most important words in your meta title tag, and the words on your PRODUCT page. Because all of your product pages link to your home page, Google knows what the home page is about. The only text you need on your home page is the word SALE!. It is inbound links. Social Media links from Facebook, Twitter, and so on is a lot of work, but for a lot of web sites it makes all the difference if done right.

valibuk Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Bill, yes, you're very right. I'm just a bit worried that those two - hometext editor and homesliders will not work properly or will make bad effects while I'm using both of them on website. Thank you for your help very appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larpstore Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 For some reason I am unable to link images in the home text editor (version 2.0)in prestashop 1.5.6. The links simply disappears after clicking insert. Has anybody seen this problem before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cisap Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Hi, this module looks very buggy ... but finally started to work:) The reason i'm typing: Is there a simple way, to place HomeTextEditor block to place above new/featured products bolck? Tried live editor, doesn't work. Need I finally edit the proper template file, to solve? (PS 1.6, default-bootstrap) -- Thanks, Olivér Edited March 28, 2016 by cisap (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
