  1. @ osclearner It seems you may be using PHP5 in Xampp. Try this: Shut down the Xampp control panel...using the exit. Go to your Windows start menu... Run...C:\Program Files\xampp\php-switch.bat This will show the working version of PHP in Xampp. If it is 5 then you need to change it to 4. Enter 4 at the prompt then X for exit. Restart Xampp and see if this helps.
  2. Double check to make sure line # 118 is not commented. The changes to the htaccess should be in your shop directory. Make sure to clear the seo cache after you make changes. Then try to load the site again. Also, if you want to turn off the SEO URLs, you need the fix by Randelia. HTH
  3. I have quotes in some product names, like this "my product". So it rewrites them like this 34my-product34. How does this affect the SE seeing and ranking them? Does this hurt them in any way? Should I remove punctuation marks from the product and category names? Thanks for any help!
  4. Did you make sure to change line #118 to load the rewrite module? Make sure it doesn't have the comment # in front of it.
  5. In xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf: Approx. line #118 make sure it reads like this: LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so Find this at approx line #202: # This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to. Look for these lines in that section. Approx. line #224 should read like this: AllowOverride All Line #230: Allow from all That's all I changed in mine and it works for me. HTH
  6. I'm using BDP with CSS Buttons. Can someone tell me how I can make the buttons rounded? Thanks!
  7. Check the rewrite base in your htaccess. I'm using Xampp and my test store is in folder Catlog3. My rewrite base is /Catalog3/. HTH
  8. So it's working correctly now? Category name is only added to category URLs or Cpath can be added to the end of product URL? Which would be the best method of SEO? Also, do I have to add the redirect fix for the &amp? Thanks for the help!
  9. Testing results so far: OSC Latest Snaphot (06182006) Ultimate SEO 2.1d (Yesudo - 25 Nov 2006) Disable Fix by Randelia Fixed SEO class by JP Weber Local install on Win XP using Xampp PHP 4.42 Apache 2.2.2 My SQL 5.0.21 Mod rewrite is enabled. Rewrite changes made to htaccess. Functionality is ok... orders increment, buy now & add to cart works. Can create customer account and checkout. Using PWA, can checkout. All this seems ok. The contribution seems to be functioning. Product URLs are changed. The only glitch is the Category names. They show on mouseover of category. Category name does not add to beginning of product URL even when enabled in admin. Flushed cache and re-tried. No luck. I've been through all pages on both support forums. (Yes, all 140+) :blink: Anyone have any ideas what I can try next? I would like the category name to appear at the beginning of the product URL. Any help is appreciated!
  10. I tried the update for PHP5. That didn't work either. I've been testing the install. The only thing that doesn't work right is adding the categonry name to the product url. I'm searching the forum for any clues.
  11. I'm not using PHP5. Maybe I'll try it anyway.
  12. I'm trying to get the category name to display at the front of the product url. It's enabled in admin. On mouseover of category the name shows. It's not added to the product url for some reason. Any ideas about how to cure this?
  13. I'm finally making progress. I have v 2.1d posted by Yesudo on 25Nov2006 and Randelia's fix working on my test site. This is on a local install with Xampp. Have mod rewrite and htaccess configured. (Hopefully correct) I've also tried the seoclass fix for category names. Product urls are fine. No probs with session ids. I have cat name in URL enabled. Category name shows on mouse over of category. Does not show in seo product url. I have several questions: 1. How do I get the category name to show in the product url? 2. Have I missed a fix somewhere? Any help appreciated!
  14. Thanks for the help. I think I finally found Chemo's 2.1d version. Posted by Yesudo 25 Nov 2006. I had to add the fix by Randelia posted 07112005. I'm not sure if I need to add the fix for redirect by Beckett yet. So far it seems to be working correctly. I've noticed that the category name isn't displaying even though it's enabled in admin. I'm headed back to the forum to solve that problem. As for Version 2.2...... I'm not sure about trying that one. I finally got one version to work and don't want to press my luck. :-" Thanks again for the assistance!
  15. I have mod rewrite enabled and it appears to be working on the older snapshot.
  16. I've been reading through the support forum and see that there appears to be a problem with the latest snapshot ( 06082006) & Ultimate SEO. The idea seems to be to revert to an older snapshot (05132006) of OSC to gain the SEO Urls. I have tried to set up the latest snapshot and Ultimate SEO on my local test server using Xampp. No joy. I can use the older vanilla snapshot with it. So I should have the http.conf and .htaccess configured properly. I would prefer to use the newer snapshot for the security updates and the contribs I have installed. Is there a solution to this or will I have to revert to the older snapshot? What sort of security problems will this cause? Thanks for any assistance!
  17. For Article Manager.... the only thing I can suggest is to double check the code. It acts like it's missing something. For Catalog/index.php... I put the changes at the end of the file after this line: <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?> HTH
  18. I'd really appreciate any help to get this working on a local install using Xampp. See post #1741. Is there a version that will work with the latest snapshot or do I need to look at a different contribution? Thanks!
  19. I tried to install 2.1d on my test site. Site would load but couldn't get products or categories to load. I got a 404 object not found error. This is using the latest snapshot of OSC on a local install. The last version I can find by Chemo is 2.1c. Several questions: Can anyone help me figure out how to configure this for a local install using Xampp? Will I be able to test this locally before I upload the site and go live or do I have to wait? I've seen it mentioned on here about problems with the latest snapshot and this contrib. Will I have to revert to the older snapshot and re-install all my contribs to get this to work? If I revert to the older snapshot, what sort of security patches will I lose? I don't want the site to be vunerable. Can I use this contrib or do I need to look at another solution? If another, which one? Sorry for all the questions, but I'd really like to work this out. Thanks for any help you can provide!
  20. Joe, This contribution allows you to relate one product to another. It's a cross sell add on. If the customer clicks item A then in the product information page they'll also see any items you related to it. Such as Item B, Item C... etc. It gives them the option to buy other products that are either add-ons or related in some way... like parts of a set only at individual prices. It allows them to pick and choose the items that are similar to make their own set. Make sense? It allows you to increase sales this way. I looked at x-sell and other contributions that are similar. For ease of install, not too far from really newbie state, it was a breeze. It's easy to work with and the newest release has a lot of really good features. Another thing I considered was the support offered, Skittles has been there every step of the way. I have V4.0 on a vanilla install and also did the upgrade from V3.3 on a modified site. No problems either way. Give it a try.... you'll like it. HTH
  21. I've been looking to add this contrib to my development site. I have a few questions though. 1. Will this work with the latest snapshot of OSC? 2. Which version should I use for this? Thanks for any assistance.
  22. I'm looking to find a SEO URL contribution that works with the latest snapshot of OSC. I also need it to work with Header Tags. Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated!
  23. I've got 2 local test sites using Xampp. One is vanilla latest snapshot. The other one is latest snapshot with several mods including Opt. Products 3.3c. Can try either initial install, upgrade, or both depending on your needs. Willing to help if I can.
  24. I've installed this on my test site. I noticed when I change the main background color I can see a white square box around the outside of the graphical borders. This is noticeable on the index for the new products module. Also on the productinfo.php and other pages. The column boxes are fine. Any idea where I can get rid of the white box? Any help is appreciated!
  25. I'm confused and think I confused my post. Here it is again. I'm attempting to upgrade HTC 2.59 to 2.60. I have several questions : 1 - I have enable/disable categories installed. My question is can I use the supplied includes/header_tags.php or will I need to edit all the queries in it? The disable category contrib hides the category from everyone using c.categories_status = 1 in the queries. 2 - Do I need to follow the instructions for update header tags admin controller as part of this upgrade? 3 - Do I need to follow the instructions for update categories description to upgrade? I looked at it and the edits to admin/categories don't match my file. I have the update for ms2.2 060817. Sorry for the repeat, but I want to make sure I get it right. Thanks for the assistance.
