Froogle output from EasyPopulate_v2.41beta5

[mugitty]

My apologies if I've missed the answer to this somewhere else...

 

I just installed EasyPopulate_v2.41beta5 and ran a Froogle output.

 

I am getting links such as

http://farmex.now.tc/catalog/product_info..../products_id/32

which results in a "Product not found".

 

Has anyone else encountered this or did I miss an instruction somewhere?

If you turn on the search engine safe URL's feature in store configuration section does that help? What Snapshot are you using?

[mugitty]

With search engine safe URL turned on, the links are fine, now I have another problem...

 

when I try to checkout (or sign in from the sign in box) as soon as I click to login, I get the standard security warning about moving to a non-secure site, I get returned to the main page (with a session ID now showing in the browser bar) and I can not get into the checkout area

 

I believe that the only thing I changed since last trying a test order was the EasyPopulate mod (but I could be mistaken - I could have been messing with SID killer and login box mods as well as define mainpage)

 

I am using the snapshot from 12-13-02 (with many modifications)

EasyPopulate is a very non-intrusive contrib. It only inserts and selects data from these tables: Products, Products_to_categories, products_description, manufacturers, and categories. I'd look at the login, then mainpage.

Yes, I found that what was preventing the login was something in a SID killer, so now I'm back to having SIDs on all my links. (absolutely no slam intended to EasyPopulate - it's a GREAT mod and I really appreciate all of your efforts) :wink:

 

Do search engine friendly URLs have to be set to 'true' in admin for the Froogle output from EasyPopulate to result in links that will actually bring up the product pages? I don't recall seeing that in the instructions???

There's an if statement in EP that should check SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS and if it's true, it will create the urls with slashes instead of the ? and = signs.

 

Apparently that's not detecthing things properly for some reason. In the mean time, you can change the code around line 377 from this

if (SEARCH_ENGINE_FRIENDLY_URLS){

to this

if (false){

And then you'll get the normal OSC urls.

Once again, you have proven that you're THE MAN!

I now have Froogle output with links like this:

http://farmex.now.tc/catalog/product_info....?products_id=32

 

and somehow, the SIDs have disappeared again, except when I add something to the cart and go to checkout :roll:

 

Thanks :)
