Hi! With this contribution only you can not remove the "p-44", "c-22" etc. at the end of the URLs, you need another one contribution and some more actions to do (search previous pages and you will find the directions that you need)! However please be very carefull with it, since from my experience I managed to remove the "p-44", "c-22" etc. at the end of the URLs in my website www.ellinas.org BUT then I had page not found errors when my visitors used another language than english! In my web site I offer 6 different languages and this was really a big mess!!!

I have just finished installing it in my site www.ellinas.org i had some problems about how to apply this effect to all parts of my multi site (i have a portal section an online free games section a live web camera from athens greece a forum a web hosting and web design section and finally the most important is the e-shop section with Greek but not only products DVDs model kits rare collective items - as you can see yourself i had a lot of things to change) but I believe i have managed everything ok if you can check it for me and tell me if you find a bug in this template, i would be very thankful. Also for everybody's convenience here is the trick code how to apply this style to anywhere that you want!!! add above to whatever you want <table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td><img src="images/infobox/upper_left.gif" border="0" alt="" width="14" height="33" /></td> <td class="mws_boxTop" align="center" valign="middle" width="100%">....</td> <td><img src="images/infobox/upper_right.gif" border="0" alt="" width="14" height="33" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td class="mws_boxLeft"></td> <td> here goes what you want to include in this border effect </td> <td class="mws_boxRight"></td> </tr> <tr> <td><img src="images/infobox/lower_left.gif" border="0" alt="" width="14" height="12" /></td> <td class="mws_boxBottom"></td> <td><img src="images/infobox/lower_right.gif" border="0" alt="" width="14" height="12" /></td> </tr> </table> here it ends this effect! I hope i was helpful for all of you - oscommerce community is really helpful to me!!! Live example of this contribution can be seen at www.ellinas.org

Seems chinese to me! But probably you have done something wrong while installing repeat carefully all steps

With this contrib you can choose yourself the landing page for your visitors depending their browser language and it may differ from the default index.php page that OsCommerce uses, it's your choice and your imagination where to land them on! But the main advantage is that you can configure your preferred parameters, enable or disable it, very very easy!

Support forum for the contribution that can be found in page: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6879 Automatic detect visitor's Browser language and redirect him to the proper language of your store! Tested to work without any problem in most major web browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari, Avant browser, Google Chrome...)! You can see a live example in my website: www.ellinas.org By using this contribution you overcome the "problem" that all your store visitors initially land to the OsCommerce default language, and they must afterwards choose their preferred language! They will still be able to choose themselves their preferred language the only difference this contribution does is that they would land initially on their browser language page that you have set, instead of the OsCommerce default index.php page! In many major professional websites like www.live.com or www.msn.com they have ip geographical detection and automatic language redirection according to their visitor's location, this contribution offers a kind of similar language redirection but according to your visitor's browser language! This contribution is very useful to all of those store owners that have installed and offering more than 1 language to their visitors! Some people claim that search engine robots do not like redirections, well I have covered this case by placing normal links in the body of the index.html, the robots can see these links. In order for this automatic redirection to work the visitor has to have javascript enabled, but I have also included a automatic redirection after 3 seconds to the default OsCommerce language just in case! There is really no need for you to backup your site before installing this contribution because it does not alter anything in your store! Either you want it and so you have to add the index.html file in your store root directory or you do not want it and you have to delete the index html file! There are no modifications done to any of your store files or code! However I suggest you to backup your store as I always do before adding any contributions! I have included in the zip file an index.html file. You have to place this index.html file to your store root directory next to the index.php of the oscommerce package! The trick that makes this language detection and proper redirection is that most web servers and web browsers are tuned to first visit index.html files and afterwards the index.php file! I have tested this contribution to all OsCommerce versions and everything works properly! BE CAREFUL before you put index.html in your store root directory you have first to change all instances found inside the index.html file of my website http://www.ellinas.org replacing it with your website URL. You can edit the index.html file even with a simple notepad! So let me tell you what are the CHANGES THAT YOU HAVE TO DO in order to prepare the index.html file for your store: (1) Replace all instances of http://www.ellinas.org to your website address (2) At line 7 you will find content="5; this number 5 is the seconds that you want to redirect your visitors to the default OsCommerce index.php page if they have javascript disabled in their browser (feel free to change 5 to whatever you wish or you can even change the index.php to the webpage that you want your web store visitors to initially land) (3) At line 12 you will find setTimeout( "end();", 1000); this number 1000 means 1 second (2000 would mean 2 seconds etc) the time that you want the automatic detection of the browser language and automatic redirection to the proper language to take place, feel free to change 1000 to whatever you prefer, you can try numbers less than 1000 and see if the automatic redirection works properly! If this number is very small then your visitors will not even understand the language detection and the automatic redirection that takes place! (4) At line 17 you will find var langcodes=new Array( "en", "fr", "es", "de", "it", "el", "default") and at the line 24 you will find accordingly the links for each language of your site: var langredirects=new Array( "http://www.ellinas.org/index.php?language=en",'>http://www.ellinas.org/index.php?language=en", "http://www.ellinas.org/index.php?language=fr", "http://www.ellinas.org/index.php?language=es", "http://www.ellinas.org/index.php?language=de", "http://www.ellinas.org/index.php?language=it", "http://www.ellinas.org/index.php?language=gr", "http://www.ellinas.org/index.php?language=en") in my index.html and in my website i offer six languages to my visitors English, French, Espanol, Deutch, Italian and Greek you have to properly change this arrays according to the languages your site offers, so feel free to change, alter, or delete whichever records from the above arrays you want! You can even use in the langredirects array the same url for many languages! The last line of each array refers to the page that your visitor will land if his browser language is not included in the langcodes array languages! (5) Finally from line 57 and below within the <body> tag you can alter it yourself and form it as you prefer! I suggest you to leave the links to all your store languages in order to keep this contribution search engine robots friendly! If you change the appearance of the language detection page do not erase the following code: <script> start() </script> Thats all, "magic language detection" starts happening in your site :)

Hi! I have noticed that after installing Ultimate SEO and especially after adding the following as .htaccess not even the googlebot robot is able to index my site! My website www.ellinas.org is a new site of mine selling Greek athens 2004 olympic DVDs Uefa Euro 2004 and i intend to add many more Greek products and model kits but this site will not be useful to me if google can not index it! Has anyone noticed similar problem with robots after installing Ultimate SEO? Maybe i can change my .htaccess and the problem will be solved! Should i remove code for bad bots? Any ideas?

Second test perfomed worse than the first one! Still language can not change and now i get uri in greek letters so i can not see any products - i get empty product descriptions! For time being i will stick to original SEO uri format. Maybe it would be easier to change something in seo.class.php from the following: $this->reg_anchors = array('products_id' => '-p-', 'cPath' => '-c-', 'manufacturers_id' => '-m-', 'pID' => '-pi-', 'tPath' => '-t-', 'articles_id' => '-a-', 'authors_id' => '-au-', 'products_id_review' => '-pr-', 'products_id_review_info' => '-pri-', 'info_id' => '-i-', 'faqdesk_id' => '-f-', 'faqPath' => '-fc-', 'faqdesk_reviews_id' => '-fri-', 'faqdesk_article_id' => '-fra-', 'pages_id' => '-pm-', //'pollid' => '-po-', 'newsdesk_id' => '-n-', 'newsPath' => '-nc-', 'newsdesk_reviews_id' => '-nri-', 'newsdesk_article_id' => '-nra-', 'lPath' => '-links-' ); or maybe add something like products_id=''

Hi Stanislav! Thanks for your instructions! Everything works fine while visitor wants the Greek language! If someone tries to change language nothing happens, he still sees Greek language!

Hi! I have a question to anyone that knows! can i strip out the category_id or the product_id and leave only the category_name or the product_name as the url? I mean i want to convert: http://www.my_store_name.com/product_name-p-1.html to http://www.my_store_name.com/product_name.html do i have to change a rewrite rule to .htaccess or do i have to change anything in seo.class.php? Since i a have unique product names and category names i do not see any use for this info to exist in my product name! I see answers to similar question like mine to use another seo contribution, but this is not what i am looking for! I can not change the ultimate seo since i have tons of contribs in my shop after this one and i am afraid of the unistall results! Can someone point me what i have to change in order to strip out category and product id, i will first backup and check if everything works properly before i make any permanent changes! Can someone help me (us) please?

The newest version includes the small sql fixes!

If you want to center categories images in float style: find in stylesheet.css float: left; /* Don't change this */ change to float: none; hope this helps

hi! I just installed it BUT i can not see the description of each category in the main index page! Checked and double checked everything BUT i can not see it! I see you wrote that something is missing for the current upped package! Is the only thing that is missing what you write above? Also i can not see float as an option in the style in admin section! I recovered everything from my backups and i will wait for your complete contrib! Thanks for the excelent work! Can i also see the same way the subcategories like the main categories? Thanks for your time

How many currencies you have installed? If you prefer only Euros to be shown then REMOVE all other currencies from admin!

When Changing Language i want redirection to http://mystore.com/index.php?language=... (the language customer has chosen) because i am facing the following problems: Lets say someone is viewing my site in english language and clicks on another language - then he will see this page properly in the language that he has choosen but whenever he clicks another link (a different page) the language will return to english for the next page (pages) and he will have to click many times the language that he prefers in order for the language change to be permanent so he can view the entire site in the language that he prefers! The same thing happens if he changes currency! The only times this error does not occur is if he is already in the initial page of my site index.php So can someone tell me how can i alter the code, so when someone changes the language of my web site or the currency all parameters of his session are kept properly BUT he will be redirected to the initial page of the language and currency that he prefers (ex he clicks on french he will be redirected to http://mystore.com/index.php?language=fr) and NOT to page that he was already at the moment he clicked on another language or currency! Thanks in advance to all experts that will reply to me!
