Problem after changing from ColumnsOne to ColumnsTwo.

Hello All,

I was recently messing about with my Home Page layout. I wanted to see how it would look with ColumnsOne. I had no problem changing it, but when I changed the template back I get the following error every time I attempt to load the homepage:

e:\HostingSpaces\pisces\bestcrystals.com\wwwroot\Themes\BC_White\Views\Home\Index.cshtml(6): error CS1061: 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' does not contain a definition for 'Widget' and no extension method 'Widget' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Web.Mvc.HtmlHelper<dynamic>' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I'll include the full error message at the end. All other pages are working normally and the Admin section is still working normally. Any ideas? I did search the forums but I didn't find anything conclusive.

Thanks - Graham.

Here's the full error info:

Hi,

how you changed the layout? Looks like you've done something wrong.

Thanks Mariann,

I wanted to experiment so I created /Views/Home directory in my theme directory and copied index.cshtml and made changes from ColumnsTwo ColumnsOne. This worked as expected, however when I changed it back the error occurred.

Thanks Again.

Graham

I presume you don't have "using Nop.Web.Framework" for Html.Widget() extension method in this Index.cshtml file. Or you can put this namespace into your theme's \Themes\BC_White\Views\Web.config file

Aha! Brilliant! Thanks for your help. It makes sense now.

Anyway, great product, a little daunting to get started with, but Nopcommerce is great. Can't thank you guys enough.
