Only blank images appear of products wit bol name in it.

Hi,

Can you add new tags on the post page via ‘Bol.com Product link invoegen’ and are the categories empty? If this is the case please review your Bol.com Partner plugin settings and in specific the API Access Key and API Secret Key because then they are not filled in correctly.

Make sure there are no spaces between the key string, at the beginning and the end of the string.

Please let us know or this solved your problem. If not please provide some extra information. Did you try other widgets and did you succesfully retrieve products? Do you use PHP version 5.3? Do you get any other errors?

After direct contact with paulwillem the cause of problem was found. One of the PHP server settings was set incorrectly which caused a malfunction of the plugin.

The PHP server setting ‘short_open_tag’ was set to Off but must be set to value On. That is the solution to the problem.

With the value Off in the admin a widget could be added succesfully (categories could be loaded, so the API key was set correctly) but the inserted short code in the WYSIWYG editor was incomplete.

Wrong example:
[bol_bestsellers limit=”5″ block_id=”bol__bestsellers” cat_id=”8299″ name=”jkkj” sub_id=”” title=”” background_color=”FFFFFF” text_color=”0000FF” link_color=”000000″ border_color=”D2D2D2″ width=”250″ cols=”1″ show_bol_logo=”1″ show_price=”1″ show_rating=”1″ link_target=”1″ image_size=”1″]

Good example:
[bol_bestsellers limit=”5″ block_id=”bol_521c4fbb57e2b_bestsellers” cat_id=”8299″ name=”jkkj” sub_id=”” title=”” background_color=”FFFFFF” text_color=”0000FF” link_color=”000000″ border_color=”D2D2D2″ width=”250″ cols=”1″ show_bol_logo=”1″ show_price=”1″ show_rating=”1″ link_target=”1″ image_size=”1″]

The block_id missed an unique id. This caused another problem in the frontend of the website. The javascript missed also an unique id:

wrong example:
<script type=”text/javascript”>BolPartner_SelectedProducts = {“bol_<!–?= uniqid() ?–>_selected-products”:

good example:
<script type=”text/javascript”>BolPartner_SelectedProducts = {“bol_521c4f9e4944f_selected-products”:

When you notice you can retrieve categories, but you have one of the following problems please review your PHP server settings.

Hi

I’m having the same problem.
and I have two questions

I can not find the short code in the WYSIWYG, cant find WYSIWYG

can I copy the text above or do a need an other number after bol_xxx

The short code can be inserted via the WYSIWY editor by clicking on the Bol.com code. This will generate an unique code with it’s own number.

You can insert the short codes by yourself by changing the number but using the editor is much easier and provides you with more options.

Hi,
Just started with bol.com partner program plugin. Seems like i have the same problem as above. Can you be a bit more specific how en where to change PHP server setting “short open tag” to ON

Example of link to bol product that wil not show up on my website
https://www.rebornrunning.nl/born-to-run/

Do i have te same problem? and what can i do to solve it.

Thanks in advance.

Angelo.

PHP server settings are stored in a php.ini file on your server. You can take a look at this for more information: https://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php

Do you still have the problem? Via the given link I cannot check or you have the same problem. Since the are not Bol.com widgets placed.

To verify or you have the same problem add a widget in the WYSIWYG editor and check or the inserted short code is incomplete as described above.

Wrong example:
[bol_bestsellers limit=”5″ block_id=”bol__bestsellers” cat_id=”8299″ name=”jkkj” sub_id=”” title=”” background_color=”FFFFFF” text_color=”0000FF” link_color=”000000″ border_color=”D2D2D2″ width=”250″ cols=”1″ show_bol_logo=”1″ show_price=”1″ show_rating=”1″ link_target=”1″ image_size=”1″]

Good example:
[bol_bestsellers limit=”5″ block_id=”bol_521c4fbb57e2b_bestsellers” cat_id=”8299″ name=”jkkj” sub_id=”” title=”” background_color=”FFFFFF” text_color=”0000FF” link_color=”000000″ border_color=”D2D2D2″ width=”250″ cols=”1″ show_bol_logo=”1″ show_price=”1″ show_rating=”1″ link_target=”1″ image_size=”1″]

Hi Netvlies,

The problem still occurs with the bol.com partner plugin, i removed the widget form ny website and tried another bol plugin, sorry for that. I fact it is the same problem after i use the widget the code is just like the wrong example. Ik have to check my PHP server settings, hope i can find the problem cause i couldn’t find the php.ini file yesterday. Webhosting from versio, webserver Apache. thanks for your reply.

Hi,

We have the same problem on our website with the blank pictures. We checked with our hosting provider and they say that the short_open_tag is already ON.

Do you happen to know what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

In addition to my question above:
I also contacted our hosting provider (again) and they said the following:

It seems like that the script can’t find images. They also checked the some page I referred to. And the code of that post was:
<img src=”https://www.bol.com/nl/static/images/main/noimage_48x48default.gif&#8221; alt=”” style=”width: 65px” class=”productImage”/>

They said that this doesn’t look like an error that the PHP code could not run, but it seems to have another cause. When they looked at the source code, they said that some part is loaded and some part isn’t. The links do have a product name, but nothing else is shown.

Example:
<a href="https://partnerprogramma.bol.com/click/click?p=1&t=url&s=&url=#&f=API&subid=&name=English+grammar+in+use" title=""></a>

The link itself has the product name in it, but the text which should be shown, is empty.

How do I know what needs to be filled in the empty place?

I hope you understand what they (and I) mean.

Thanks in advance.

It seems another problem is causing your problem. This topic will continue on: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/bolcom-plug-in-doesnt-work?replies=7

Using php short tags is bad coding standard.

Please change this in the new release as it will be deprecated in the future PHP releases.

I also have it “off” in the server settings.
