AutoDirector forum

Hi,

I just installed the software on a site (one of many), When you click on the thumbnail it does not show the larger picture and goes straight to contact the site owner (this is in IE9) Tried setting the chmod to 777 on Data file too

In firefox when you click on the thumbnail you get the following Error

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: http://clickspeed.co.uk/kcf/ Line Number 1, Column 1660:<root><ol id="autodirector_pics"><li><a href="http://www.uploadyourcars.co.uk/autodirector/data/kcf/pics/3.jpg" title="Vauxhall Astra Life 1.3 CDTI Estate photograph 1 - click to enlarge..."><img src="http://www.uploadyourcars.co.uk/autodirector/data/kcf/thumbs/3.jpg" alt="Vauxhall Astra Life 1.3 CDTI Estate photograph" /><strong>2007 Vauxhall Astra Life 1.3 CDTI Estate</strong><span>photograph 1 of 2</span></a></li><li><a href="http://www.uploadyourcars.co.uk/autodirector/data/kcf/pics/4.jpg" title="Vauxhall Astra Life 1.3 CDTI Estate photograph 2 - click to enlarge..."><img src="http://www.uploadyourcars.co.uk/autodirector/data/kcf/thumbs/4.jpg" alt="Vauxhall Astra Life 1.3 CDTI Estate photograph" /><strong>2007 Vauxhall Astra Life 1.3 CDTI Estate</strong><span>photograph 2 of 2</span></a></li></ol><dl><dt class="model">model:</dt><dd class="model"> 2007 Vauxhall Astra Life 1.3 CDTI Estate</dd><dt class="colour">colour:</dt><dd class="colour">silver</dd><dt class="gearbox">gearbox:</dt><dd class="gearbox">manual</dd><dt class="mileage">mileage:</dt><dd class="mileage">0 miles</dd><dt class="details">details:</dt><dd class="details"><p>2007/07 PLATE VAUXHALL ASTRA LIFE 1.3 CDTI ESTATE</p><p>in metallic moondust silver with contrasting</p><p>charcoal cloth interior-air conditioning-electric</p><p>windows-multiple air bag protection system-remote</p><p>control central locking-drivers seat height adjustment-cd in car entertainment system-collapsible rear dog guard-factory fitted immobilizer-six speed gearbox- this car offers great fuel economy, one owner from new with a full</p><p>service history sensibly priced at only</p><p>Price: &pound;5495</p></dd></dl><div class="price">£5,495</div><img src="http://www.uploadyourcars.co.uk/autodirector/viewupdate.php?site=kcf&amp;id=3" class="count" /></root> -----------------------------------------------------

Problem solved, I did later find a similar post on this forum and the issue was caused by copy pasting details which probably introduced a non valid character.

This problem affects the older versions of AutoDirector when you use a character such as '£' in the "more information" text. The latest version (1.9.1) fixes the issue - you should upgrade.

Incidentally, the AutoDirector license entitles you to install the administration panel on one server. That can be used to control any number of website showrooms on any domain, but you should not install multiple copies of the software itself (nor should you need to).

The reason I have purchased multi copies is because I provide a webdesign service and they are given an option to have their own software already installed and a website created at a one time fee cost or they can upload their cars from my software for a fee per day or per month cost.
