I am receiving a Description Tag Error when creating a new template

Hi!

When you look at your template in Auctiva after pasting in the html code, switch over to "Design Editor". In this view, you will see what your template will look like on auctiva. See where it says "Type Your Description Here"? You need to replace that with the descrition tag that auctiva uses. Basically highlight that by dragging your mouse and then replace it by clicking on where it says "Description" in the left hand margin. I just tried it and saved it and it worked (no errors).

I just had a template made it too but had to insert some tags. You can also do the same for pictures so that you do not have to insert the URLs into your html. You just set up the auctiva tags and then you can choose your images through the listing page on Auctiva. The same can be said for your terms of sale as there are tags for those too.

If you have more questions (I am not always clear) please feel free to ask for more help!

I adore you Marcia!

Sounds clear as a bell to me! Off to try it . . .

Will report back!

Thanks a million!

Thanks Marcia! It works and I put up a test auction successfully.

One more question - Is it possible for someone to link to my practice board and copy my auction template, or is it secure there? If not, how can I delete it?

Thanks!

I am not really familiar with practiceboard so I am not sure how to go about deleting it there. I think it would be safer to keep the html in a notepad file on your computer as a backup (that is where mine is).

I was able to paste your html into my auctiva account and look at it and save it (don't worry I will be deleting once I get back to my templates ) so I really question how secure it is. I would delete the link to Practiceboard you have in your original post.

Maybe someone can shed some light on how secure templates are in Practiceboard.

Marcia

can someone please tell me how to delete the link to my practiceboard above? or this entire thread? Thanks!

Sorry I did not give the instructions to delete the link before...today has been hectic and I was not thinking.

Log in to the message boards and go to that post. At the bottom right hand side, you will see three little icons - two little folders and one triangle. Click on the middle one (folder with a pencil). Here you can edit your post and delete the link. You are the only one that can edit your own posts so the edit link does not show up for me.

Hope that is clear! Again, sorry.
Marcia
