You can't do it. It needs the product id unique key. Now, you can put a unique index on the column that you want to use as your permalink, and then you should be able to convert the "permalink" desc to product id "upstream" of any "product_id" requirements and use it that way...that would be the easiest hack. But if you get a lot of errors as you are creating that unique index...you would have some cleanup work to do...by then you should know what I mean "it needs an unique key..."

@milerwan Ok, I have to check my Paypal setting... IPN disabled. PDT - Website payment preference -> auto return -> on -> back to checkout_process.php URL, PDT -> on. These should be the minimum, I may have to modify checkout_process to work with PDT...

@milerwan, hey, what verion of OSC and Paypal and etc. that you are using? Mine was on BS, probably Edge, and I had to reinstall Paypal somehow. Also, it seems that I had to setup IPN and PDT on Paypal to get it to work. Did you do that? I will have to look into it some more when I have a chance to remember what I did...LMK. Thx!

CCGV, but I don't know which version is the best to start with, but you can hack the gift voucher side to generate credit for customers, once your get the module to work. The hack is simple. The gift card feature was never useful for me, sold zero gift cards anyway...I had used it for give me your email and get $10 credit in your account as well as for return/exchange and etc...

Hmm...true, clean code is important... I don't know if this banaid is better than the previous one, but they both offer a similar solution. I would really do a var_dump($text_array) or print_r($text_array) just before the foreach statement to get a stack trace of the argument. You really need to know why PHP was complaining. In fact, the foreach statement wasn't just looking for an array, and it was expecting an associative array. FWR is a smart dude, I would definitely understood why before deciding on a fix. That would be my approach...some upstream setting may just fix the warning.

Don't think MySQL cache works at this time, but u did not say much about the version of your OSC and environment. Anyway, just use file cache, I was gonna rewrite the DB cache part but had decided to wait after hearing the 2.4 release announcement at that time...

Ah...hello...you can't have such associative array... This is ok. $slicks = []; This append to the array.. $slicks[] = []; I would just comment out those lines and see what happens. Yeah, I took one look at the stock image gallery and went to bxslider and never looked back...

@Bobber , I hope no one minds me tell you this. @oscoMMarket had shared with me that his posts are being moderated from this point forward. So, I think be patience and if he had responded it may take a while for it to become available.

I see the benefit of keep the product name based url constant, but I am not sure the benefit of removing .html. I think it said path rewrite must have .html. So, no!? With Product Listing Ad, CPC company often modify the production title to get higher impression/click thru rate base on seasonal behavior...

@mrphil, i dare u, the topic by Burt should had given u that there was no dipslick's involvement! On the other hand, I found the title Frozen dead on its point! Let it go...let it go...or $never_gonna_give_you_up, history shall one day reveal these words or variables' significance for OSC!!! Hey, you & I have something in common, we're both aware of princess movies! I hv no excuse, I hv two boyz. LOL. All kidding aside, be it being frozen, the codes are on Github so it should not stop any dev to step up to the plate, or for any user to pay Burt to work on it and push it to the public. Everything has a price...

Ah, IIS, what!? Just kidding, your definitely missing some steps during your hack. In the old OSC, that should be defined in the filenames.php file.

@nickjansen Try this. It's just an anchor. I hope you get the idea of it being in an array form. Don't shoot me, I think I am changing core codes. <?php /* $Id$ osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions http://www.oscommerce.com Copyright (c) 2010 osCommerce Released under the GNU General Public License */ $cl_box_groups[] = array( 'heading' => BOX_HEADING_CATALOG, 'apps' => array( array( 'code' => FILENAME_CATEGORIES, 'title' => BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_CATEGORIES) ), array( 'code' => FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, 'title' => BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES) ), array( 'code' => FILENAME_EXCEL, 'title' => 'Excel Populate', 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_EXCEL) ), array( 'code' => FILENAME_MANUFACTURERS, 'title' => BOX_CATALOG_MANUFACTURERS, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_MANUFACTURERS) ), array( 'code' => FILENAME_REVIEWS, 'title' => BOX_CATALOG_REVIEWS, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_REVIEWS) ), array( 'code' => FILENAME_SPECIALS, 'title' => BOX_CATALOG_SPECIALS, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_SPECIALS) ), array( 'code' => FILENAME_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED, 'title' => BOX_CATALOG_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED, 'link' => tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_EXPECTED) ) ) ); ?>

Long thread, I hadn't read it all yet. How about the App Marketplace concept that Harold had started? And the framework...I wonder how much work to get there... https://library.oscommerce.com/Online&en&oscom_2_4&developers&framework.
