TAGS still evident after deleting and flushing cache

[carpygmy]

Hi all,

 

I made some temporary tags when getting to grips with Prestashop. Since then I've deleted them and following some advice regarding this issue I cleared the cache and "forced compilation". However, some ghostly remnants of the tags remain, see below:

 

 

Any ideas how to prevent this?

Any assistance much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

 

CP.

You can try checking for dead entries in product_tag, though it might be difficult to do it manually

Do you mean in the SQL database?

[NemoPS]

Yes, correct, via phpmyadmin

[carpygmy]

Okay, here's the data. I'm a real novice with SQL databases, just so you know:

In phpmyadmin:

 

SELECT *
FROM `ps_product_tag`
ORDER BY `id_tag` ASC
LIMIT 0 , 30

 

 Full texts     id_product     id_tag Ascending     id_lang
    Edit      Copy    Delete     2     2     1
    Edit      Copy    Delete     8     3     1

 

Is it safe to delete these rows?

The Tag ID from Prestashop that is shown correctly in the image above is labelled 3 in  "Catalog > Tags".

 

So I assume the other 2 "ghost" tags are from the top line?

 

Does that make sense?

 

Thanks,

So, I've deleted the remaining tag. Removed the entries from ps_product_tag. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Tag module. And flushed the cache. Her'e's the result:

 

 

 

There appears to be a bug.

 

Just FYI: I'm using latest Prestashop and the Default Bootstrap theme (slightly modified). Hope that helps. In the meantime I'm going to have to turn off Tags until this gets fixed.

 

Thanks for your help Nemo1, on this issue and also the nice overlay solution.

 

Cheers,

Indeed, seems to be a prestabug. I'd say, if you need it, you can try debugging yourself by dumping stuff out of the tags block and see what is getting. I am guessing there might be some empty tag saved somewhere (like the tag table)

Thanks Nemo1. My hack cosmetic way around this was via CSS and getting rid of the border (which I actually prefer), It's clearly a bug because basically I deleted all tags, deleted entries in the SQL tag tables, refreshed the caches and did a headstand and a cartwheel and still nothing doing. So, I'm happy with the way it is and hopefully this will be ironed out in future releases.

 

Thanks again for all your help.

Cheers,

CP.

carpygmy...  you said you would just have to turn off tags until the problem is fixed.  How does one turn them off?

[carpygmy]

I just meant disable the Tags Block module under:

Modules and Services > Search : Tags > Tags Block select Disable
