Another PROD Page Related Products issue - javascript not firing

[lesliekirk]

I've got another Related Products issue - the javascript is not firing. I've gone so far as creating a whole test template to keep the page code to the bare minimum.

It should be noted that this is an older version of Iron & Wool, so old it doesn't have a version number but it was applied on 5/8/2015.

On a side note, it sure would be nice if the ReadyTheme had the ability to create a "child theme" so that the core theme could be kept current.

The JS is the scripts.js file triggers functions on each page based on the body id. The body id needs to be js-PROD for the js to run correctly. Looking at your page yours is js-PROD_TEST. In your alternate PROD page template change the body id to js-PROD and it should fire the JS

[lesliekirk]

I love it when I overlook the simple stuff, but changing the body id to js-PROD didn't fix it in this case.

It looks like might be missing the ReadyThemes theme settings content item for that page.

Yes, I had intentionally left it "off". I turned it back on and it's still not firing.

Check that you have the theme path set in the theme settings for scripts and the MVT is set in the HEAD tag; without it the JavaScript will throw errors.

<script>
var theme_path = "&mvtj:global:theme_path;";
</script>

This is an older version of the ReadyTheme which I don't think it used this snippet because there is no separate folder for the theme itself.

[Matt Zimmermann]

The scripts.js file you are using is looking for the theme_path variable. You will need to either set it to be relative to the actual location of the JS folder or edit the scripts.js file to update for the fact that there is no theme folder structure.

Okay, I put the original scripts.js file back in place, since that didn't work I'll make edits to the previous scripts.js file and see if that works.

After much banging of my head against my desk I discovered there was a small typo in a css file name. Somehow I had /css/sliders.css when the file name on the server was /css/slider.css.

It's working now

I have been scouring all over the forum because I have had an ongoing problem with how our website is functioning. This is an old post I am resurrecting but I can see that the Iron and Wool Themed web url that lesliekirk links to in the original post has a malfunctioning website as well, and it also appears that is is only misbehaving at times.

We currently use the Iron and Wool Theme. The product pages only erratically work. It depends if the supporting javascript actually loads. When it doesn't, the product page attribute menu pricing no longer works and the related products load with the first one missing and all the others in a vertical column. The only error I can see is that a MivaEvent call is not found. I know the Iron and Wool theme is legacy. I am working on a new Shadows site but currently our website pricing functionality is broken. Has anyone else run into this problem and come up with a solution?

I worked with Miva support for over a month on this and I think they just gave up and assigned the problem as a "browser-related problem." There is no doubt that the problem is predominantly in Safari but I have recreated it in other browsers. I tried deferred loading of Javascript, put it back, etc etc. Nothing seems to fix the timely loading of javascript so that the MivaEvent fires reliably. Any ideas from other Iron and Wool users? I need to get this patched for a couple more months!

When you say no errors, are you talking about console errors when the web's UI fails?

It could very well be browser dependent (even more so based on settings). For example, there's now a setting in Chrome that will fail is ANY part of a resource call is non-https. For example, we saw this where a (laughably so) an SSL cert javascript function didn't set the image call to specifically be https://. That stopped ALL javascript downstream from firing. And only issued a warning...not an error.

That is interesting. I will do a check on any of the javascript calls that I added some years ago. For sure, it is possible that Safari has updated something and 'broken" my website. Can you clarify for me - even though the MivaEvent that is not firing is contained in the Iron and Wool scripts.js file, it is possible that another js file is not being called securely and affecting the loading. I understand that correctly? I am uploading an image with screenshot of the console error I see. No other errors other than the usual "strict-dynamic" problem that I have seen for years.

Do you have a URL we can look at?

[d2d2d2]

I would love you to. The header and footer seem to be such a mess to me. So many people (me especially) have added javascript files. For some reason I could never get the added javascript to load from the themes file, even though I see them listed, so I have to add them in the footer. I did confirm that there are no calls for non-https javascript files. I played around with moving the load order of the javascript files but it breaks my easytabs.js and qipt.js. I know these scripts are old. Can't wait to get rid of the old and move onto the new but just need to make it work for a little bit longer. Thanks for taking a peek.

Just to be clear, I mostly see the problem in Safari, although it can occur in Chrome and Firefox if the connection is slow. I have checked on numerous devices, mobile, desktop, old, new. There is erratic loading of the script.js and it just breaks the attributes and related products. I saw the same problem displaying, just yesterday, on the linked page from the website lesliekirk posted at the beginning of this topic. This makes me question if it is an Iron and Wool problem?

Here's a complicated product page. Try navigating around to other recliners or sofas. It really seems to be the pages with tons of attributes and swatches that don't load in time.
