Jack_mcs got a reaction from John W in Automatically send data feed to Froogle
@@John W This feed is for google shopping and is different than adwords. You need an adwords campaign setup to use google shopping but the results are different. When goggle started charging for this service, it made it more difficult for it to be of use since the results depends on how much you spend in the adwords campaign. But if you can get your product seen in google shopping, it can make a big difference in traffic to your site.

Jack_mcs got a reaction from vampirehunter in Paypal App (OSC 2.3.4)
@@vampirehunter I'm confused about which module you are using. This thread is for the paypal app but from what you said, it doesn't sound like you are using a paypal module from the app. If that is the case, then that could explain the missing emails since that is a problem with non-app paypal modules.
If you are using the paypal standard module from the app, be sure you have added the pdt key (see documentation).
For the comment marked with an x, customers are not supposed to see those. That is just to let the shop owner know that payment was received.

Jack_mcs got a reaction from radhavallabh in View Counter
You need to find out the reason for the failure. It may be because your host is preventing it, the file name is triggering a blockage, the file size is too large or maybe something else. Asking you host about it is my first suggestion.

The .bin file is required. If your host won't allow the upload then you can't use this addon.

There's a known problem in that version. Please find this line

Remove the following lines:
$csvFileDest = str_replace('.txt', '.csv', $destination_file); $csvFileLocn = str_replace('.txt', '.csv', $OutFile); $csvStr = str_replace("\t", '", "', '"' . $output); $csvStr = str_replace("\n", "\"\n\"", $csvStr); $csvStr = substr($csvStr,0,-1); $csvStr = str_replace("\t", '", "', '"' . $output .

Jack_mcs got a reaction from altoid in Header Status Handler
Thanks Steve. I thought I had tried that. It worked now though. I installed and test it and it worked fine. There is a change in the version I have here that should be applied though (for any version of oscommerce). In includes/functions/headerstatushandler.php, find
$db_query = tep_db_query("select 1 from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " where categories_id = '" . (int)$cID . "' and language_id = " . (int)$languages_id); and change it to
$id = explode('_', $cID); $db_query = tep_db_query("select 1 from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES_DESCRIPTION . " where categories_id = '" . (int)$id[count($id) - 1] . "' and language_id = " . (int)$languages_id); -
Jack_mcs got a reaction from dr_lucas in Google XML Sitemap SEO
Good point. Even though I deal with SEO all the time, I still fall into the trap of thinking of things in relation to google.
But I'm still wondering if even 10 MB would be reached. Have you tested this on a site that would create multiple files?
-
Jack_mcs got a reaction from dr_lucas in Google XML Sitemap SEO
@dr_lucas I haven't looked at that part of the code in a while. I know it definitely creates multiple map files if the number of products is over 50,000. I don't recall it checking for file size but the limit is 50 MB, not 10 MB: see here. I suppose it is possible for a file to reach that large but I've not seen it yet.

Jack_mcs got a reaction from Tsimi in Google XML Sitemap SEO
You shouldn't need to do anything once it is setup correctly. You should set up a cron job to run the script if you haven't. That will keep your maps current. In webmaster tools, all you really need to do is add the sitemapindex.php map but it is better to add all of the ones you are using since errors are easier to see. Once that's all done and the maps are not getting any errors In webmaster tools, you don't need to do anything else at all.

This addon will work with SEO 5 except for the option to change the url's via Header Tags SEO. If you don't want/need that option, then you don't need to change.

Try replacing all of the code in GenerateManufacturer2Sitemap with that in GenerateManufacturerSitemap and see if it works, which it should. If it does, then it is just a matter of swapping the lines until you find the problem.

Jack_mcs got a reaction from amirand926 in database connection
Are you sure the login is the same as what's in the configure files? It shouldn't be, in my opinion, and rarely is, in my experience. Again, remove that file should help isolate that problem.
I don't suggest changing the application_top file. There is no need to do that and is bad advice, again, in my opinion.

Jack_mcs got a reaction from Psytanium in Auto Update Currencies
It will work with any of the versions that don't use mysqli, which start around 2.3.3, I think. You can try replacing all instance of mysql in that file with mysqli. I haven't looked close enough at it to say if that will work or not but those calls are the problem. The correct fix, and what should have been done initially, is to include application_top and use the tep functions. That's the change I will make once I get to it.
-
Jack_mcs got a reaction from Psytanium in Auto Update Currencies
If you are using around 2.3.3 (maybe before), that won't work. The database calls are different for those versions. I'll update this as soon as I can.

That function hasn't been used since before version 2.2d-8. The last version I uploaded was 2.2d-13. So if your version has ereg in it, you've got more problems than that and you should upgrade to the latest version.

Jack_mcs got a reaction from carlover in Links Manager II
This is a replacment for the Links Manager contribution. However, due to the many changes made, the code is no longer compatible with that version so I'm starting this new thread to make support easier. This version addresses many of the short-comings the other contribution has. Here is list of the major changes:
- Added code to includes/modules/links_listing.php and missing classes for sort heading problem with the standard listing box.
- Added code based on code submitted by rabbitseffort that presents the link exchange information in the links submit page is an easy-to-copy format.
- Added option to check for blacklisted words. The words are defined in a new setting in admin->configuration->Links.
- Added option to disable reciprocal link checking for individual links.
- Added a count option to admin->Configuration->Links that will allow links to be checked by the Check links script a number of times before the link is disabled. This was needed since some sites may not be working when the check is performed.
- Added checkboxes to Links Status page to easily change status to Approved.
- Added option of having nested categories.
- Added option of having no categories (for display - one in admin still needs to exist).
- Added code to check for the existence of at least one category in admin->Links Manger->Links. If not found, the code redirects to the admin->Links Manger->Link Categories page.
- Added option to display link count, or not.
- Added option to create a new category from within the links edit page.
- Added link category name to the links page.
- Added login option to allow link partners to edit their own links.
- Added option to Featured Links so that a featured link will be displayed on all link pages or just on the one it is listed for.
- Changed code so that the breadcrumb link has the session ID attached.
- Changed code in admin/links.pgp so search function works as expected.
- Changed code in admin/links.php to generate a normal link instead of an SEO one, which was causing some sites problems. If you want that ability, you should install Ultimate SEO with the update for Links Manager.
- Changed links_db_update.php script so that it will update the admin->configuration->Links options while keeping the current settings in place.
- Changed code so that the categories description is displayed as a true categories description on the page under the page heading.
- Fixed search code so it finds the links from any page.
- Included fixes from partial updates and items mentioned in the support thread.
- Removed extra code from links_check.php file to speed up checking.
- Removed the code for the Rating option since it was never implemented.
- Renamed to Links Manager II since the large amount of changes would cause support problems.
- Made many small fixes and changes that are too numerous to mention.
I didn't convert the language files since I don't know the languages. The format of at least one changed so I couldn't just do a copy/paste without changing the original. So, either way, something would be wrong with those files. Converting them will not be difficult if you know the language though.
The code has been installed into several shops and no problems have been reported. But there is a lot of new code here so it is still possible that could happen. In other words - backup first.
