Known issues

This section describes the known issues in SmartTarget.

Slow performance in Internet Explorer
Problem: When you open multiple tabs in Internet Explorer, the performance of the GUI drops.
REL support for Page View
Problem: The <tcdl:query> tag attribute view is not supported for REL implementations. The view attribute triggers promotions depending on the type of Web page a user is viewing.
SmartTarget uninstallers delete all files in installation directory
Problem: The SmartTarget uninstallers remove everything in the Fredhopper or SmartTarget installation directories, including files you have added to these directories.
Solution: Create backups of your files before uninstalling.
Cannot use tcdl:Link in combination with SmartTarget placeholders
Problem: You cannot use the tcdl:Link tag in combination with SmartTarget placeholders because the Content Delivery TCDL handler tries to validate these URIs when publishing and throws exceptions when it encounters invalid URIs. For example, the following code will fail to publish:
<tcdl:itemContent maxItems="10" var="searchResult">
			 <tcdl:itemContentTemplate> 
       <p><tcdl:Link type='Component' origin='@@Page.Id@@' 
           destination='##componentUri##' templateURI='tcm:0-0-0'
			        linkText='Read more...' 
           textOnFail='false' linkAttributes='' />
       </p>
</tcdl:itemContentTemplate> </tcdl:itemContent>
Solution: To solve this problem, use the tridion:ComponentLink or tcdl:ComponentPresentation tags because these URIs are validated at runtime.
