Ran the "Old URL Testing for a product and category, the message shows in the header as so:
-
With that I end up here: /http_error.php?error_id=302 Rather than at the intended redirect url. If I remove the test code, all is OK again.
-
@@Gergely I've gotten so used to using phpMyAdmin for url redirect management I really haven't worked with the csv much. But I did try a download a couple days ago, it rendered with semi-colon delimiters and not a csv type that places each field into an Excel column, but I'll revisit that again for testing purposes.

Thanks for the info. I'm not sure the source but this particular shop goes back years online and I've changed categories locations etc. a lot so it's no surprise to me now how many bad urls exist out there for this shop. Not necessarily all google. Whatever is indexing some of these, has bad urls going back years. For example I discontinued a product line several years ago, and even now those urls are showing up in url redirects. I'm fixing them with the url redirect add on. Having the capability to do this with categories and products is a big deal to me so I'm glad you put this together. :thumbsup: One other note, for my situation I've found it much more convenient to manage many url redirect changes via phpMyAdmin via update queries. Just FYI on that.

Here's an example of a 302 status for a product I once had in the shop. -p-526.html Looking through my database, I don't see that product ID, so I assume it's been deleted. In this case because I don't know what it was, I can't accurately redirect to another product or category. So I'll probably set it at 410 status with the new url of /http_error.php
-
I think in most cases a redirect to another page would work. In fact would that not be better for search engine SEO? A 301 vs say a 404 or 410? But for those instances where a product or category simply are no longer available in any form on a website, I'd think a message saying "Sorry but the page you are looking for is not available at [shop Name} Please feel free to view our other items. You may search here [searchbox for Shops Products and Categories}" Or something like that. :)

@Gergely The ability to redirect products handy. However when I set up an 410 server error for a deleted product, I am taken to a blank page, rather than a 410 error page with some sort of explanation for the human visitor. Checking logs, the correct 410 server error is generated, so that's a good thing. So for human visitors would not a error page with an explanation be better? I suppose another alternative would be to 301 redirect a deleted product to some other appropriate page on the website be it another product or even to a category. What are you thoughts? Thanks

Apparently, over the years every time I reorganized my shop listings, such as changing or relocating categories, that caused issues with google and other search engines because there was no 301 redirects done for the changes. @@Gergely offered the beta version, which allowed me to identify redirect problems and change them to valid url with a proper 301 redirect. :thumbsup: I just updated to the new release.

Jim, just FYI Warning: constant(): Couldn't find constant MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_CODES_DOMESTIC_SERVICES_61_HANDLING in /home/username/public_html/includes/modules/shipping/usps_codes.php on line 524
-
Understood. I'll install that. I'll have a second shipping option in place just in case of what you mentioned. Thanks
-
@@kymation Jim, I realize this version is development, but do you see any reason not to try it on a live shop? I have a bootstrap shop I'd like to get USPS shipping running in.

If you're feeling tired, try making a payment in Forints. It perks you right up.

I feel your pain.

I see First-Class Mail® Parcel Library Mail Parcel Media Mail Parcel For a 7.4 oz package, the parcel does not show during a test purchase.
-
OK....got the list of shipping options now. Ran a test purchase, looking for first class mail parcel (which is what I use mostly). It didn't show up. Here's the email error notice:
-
My test shop is on uniserver. I've not had any instances where the test shop failed to communicate with the outside world. I suppose it's possible though.
-
negative errors in admin panel..but looking around I found three email notifications. The response from the USPS was empty. This could be a fault in the USPS server, or there is something very wrong with the request. Request: API=RateV4&XML=%3CRateV4Request+USERID%3D%22914MYUSERID%22%3E%3CRevision%3E2%3C%2FRevision%3E%3C%2FRateV4Request%3E Response: -2147221202Common:XmlParseThe element 'RateV4Request' has incomplete content. List of possible elements expected: 'RateClientType, Package'.

Installed this on a bootstrap shop locally No errors showing at the admin site, except... Not getting any services showing to update.... Update Services Check if you want to update the following services list. shop side, USPS does not appear as as shipping choice. I have flat rate also enabled.

Go here, lower right part of screen where it says download zip. https://github.com/gburton/Responsive-osCommerce That's what is being called the "edge" with all the latest commits. I tried it out a few days ago testing the installer that Gary updated. The install went fine.

Hi Jack, I'd like to install this on a 234 bootstrap shop I am working on. Can you think of any conflicts? I have this running fine in a regular 234 shop with no issues. Thanks
-
There's a happy ending out there somewhere.
