?? The Administration Panel has only "Paypal Express" checkout.

As I understand it, Paypal Express is a wholly different animal than Paypal PRO.

admin>>modules>>payment

then click install module and it will be one of the choices

USU5 is compatible with anything and everything just so long as it is correctly written.

Header tags breaks when ANY path based uri is used .. it is buggy! Having said that, this bug in header tags can be avoided by choosing the rewrite method of USU5 which emulates chemos old seo urls.

All products seo breaks because it uses file names with hyphen instead of underscore, if Jack_mcs read the osCommerce coding standards then he might write his contributions correctly. USU5 purposefully will not process this file as it is invalid input.

This is simple to fix just correct the filename to what it should have been, all_products.php and not all-products.php ( if I'm remembering the correct file ).

My reply (below) was to the above post

ALSO correct the filename catalog/includes/languages/all_products.php and not catalog/includes/languages/all-products.php

Doing that is not a correction. It would be lowering the SEO effect and is not recommended. Changing the code so it works with some other contribution is nonsense.

There will always be conflicting opinions. My opinion, you are both CORRECT.

....

KissMT is again modern code it dynamically creates all meta tags and also canonical elements for your site and it does it fully dynamically requiring no effort from you and installs in seconds. If you need to manually create your page titles etc however then this is not for you. ( although the functionality will be added ).

See my sig if interested in those contributions.

Although, they can be edited in /public_html/includes/languages/english/kissmt.php

This is the method that I use at present until.....

I'm new to osCommerce - have just spent several weeks building my store and am ready to go!

Decided Paypal PRO was the way to go, so I set up my account at Paypal, got my SSL Cert installed - only to find out now that there is not a Paypal PRO add-on module available for V2.3.1.

Can anyone help? I'm not adept at PHP, or I would just go into the V2.2 module and adapt, but that's not really an option for me.

Paypal PRO is standard in 2.3.1

This module looks very interesting indeed. I'd be really interested in the new version that you're planning at the end of Jan as per earlier post. From what I gather, the current version only allows the same text per tab repeated on each product. I'd really like to use this kind of mod for entering the products in admin so it's going to be dynamic for each different product. What I mean is I'd like to be able to have tabs for:

Main description, ingredients, suitable for, how to use, manu info etc

but containing different info for each product. I'm guessing it's going to mean altering the database to add the input fields in admin.

I'll keep an eye our for the new version and happily do some testing as well!

I like to give my customer a lot of product info but worry it makes the page too long and thus reduces keyword density. Are the tabs beneficial for SEO? As in, less info on each tab makes keyword density better? How would this work in conjunction with Header Tags Controller or KISS MT?

Cheers and all the best...

Hello,

I installed the Contrib Discount Coupon Codes (http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7644/v,23) (and by the way it is very cool!).

By using the functionality I got an error in an SQL Query. The issue was, that the delivery date in the orders table is missing.

In my investigations I found out, that additional stuff regarding shipping dates is included in the Contrib.

My questions are now: Is the shipping date used in this contrib? Or is that code introduced with another contrib? If yes, with which? How can the shipping date be used (this is what I did not find out by now)?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers

Kajoka

I believe this is the ship date

Hi, I have installed this addon with OSC 2.3.1 and must say that it was simple to install. Obviously you all done a great job creating this. I do have one problem though. When I select any quantity for the master product apart from 0, the amount in my cart remains 1 (one) master product. The slave products seem to work fine, and will display whatever quantity I have selected. Any ideas what I have done wrong, or how to fix this problem?

Thanks in advance

Robert

Try posting in the support thread for the add on

and the easypopulate.php file.

Dude, thanks for trying, nevermind im going to type each product in

1 by 1.

no clear help here so fack it. Spent hours last night adding

I have a client who wants the product listings to reflect the current quantities in the shopping cart. Their idea being that if someone has already added something to the cart, but wants to change it, they can change it right inside the product listing of a particular category instead of needing to go to the shopping cart.

Is there a contrib or add-on that allows this?

Thanks for any comments or help!

There are also about 10,000 ways to screw up an install. It just takes one tiny little thing. If you did post your site (change those permissions first), there are about a dozen folks on the forum that could diagnose the problem in a heartbeat.

Also, another solution is to start over, and if your Webhost has Simple Scripts or Fantastico on your Website Control panel, use one of those to install OSCommerce. If they don't have Simple Scripts or Fantastico, I would seriously consider using another Webhost like GoDaddy or Bluehost.

Softaculous is another one as used by my host

i have set up table rate as being royal mail 1st class

Hi guys, I have installed ultimate seo's and all appears to be working fine. But in admin it looks like this. Any ideas, your help would be great

Looks like the Polish version :thumbsup:

January 1, 2011

Was able to install and run it...however, when i click on the Easy Populate choice in the Catalog (admin area), the EP is displayed over the entire catalog menue...wierd..

this is a screenshot of it:

You need to replace the top formatting of the file with template_top

Compare easy populate with a standard file. I have running fine in 2.3.1

Here is the top bit. Do the same at the bottom of file
