Thanks Mibble and Young Tae Byan, starting to make more sense now, i'll give it a go. Thanks again Julian

Like i said I have already read the link you sent after i did a search. That doean't mean i understand it, hence the question. Having read up on it, there doesn't seem to be any simple instructions, mibbles are probably OK if you know the score about php, but i'm not that well up on it. I have managed to get a pretty good working site up and running, and got the Froogle feed working, so i am asking this because i have no idea what to do with it and don't understand what i have read up. Thanks Julian

Hi all Seems to be a really good contribution. :thumbsup: After a bit of messing around, i have finally got the output.txt to do something, and all looks fine. (i think my account may have expired at Froogle now, as i registered over 30 days ago.) Anyway, when i get to the bottom of it not accepting my Froogle ftp stuff, (although it is correct) what do i do with :- Insert The Cron Entry Optional: For Automated Weekly Upload);0 4 * * 3 /usr/bin/php -q /home/<unix route to your file>/admin/froogle.php What ???? :'( If this updates the Froogle weekly, i could do with it working, but i have searched the DB and read all this thread and still have no idea what to do with it? Any help please? TIA Julian

PLEASE HELP! I have searched all the forum on help with this but to no avail. I have installed the excellent Salemaker contribution successfully and it all appears to work fine. The only thing is i cannot see the sale prices on the index page, which is the first thing customers see. My best sellers and latest product boxes still show the old price, which is probably a bit off putting to visitors expecting the prices to be lower. Any help with this really appreciated TIA Julian :'(

I've just tried that and adding <?php loses the page all together? Any ideas? Julian :blink:

I have just installed the page_cachev1.0 contribution. This is the mod to the code at the end of the index and product info files, as stated in the instructions I can't find require('includes/application_bottom.php'); anywhere in my files. The bottom of my index.php and product_info.php now looks like this <!-- footer //--> <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'footer.php'); ?> <!-- footer_eof //--> <br> </body> </html> $page_cache->end_page_cache(); <?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?> but it displays $page_cache->end_page_cache(); at the bottom of all my pages. Can anyone help me out with what it should be so you cannot see it. TIA Julian :blink:

Can anybody help me? i need to install the osCom to XHTML mod, but i don't know what to do with the .tar file as there are no instructions with the contribution. TIA JUlian

Can the google position contribution be changed to search your position on Google UK? instead of a global search with Google.com? TIA Julian

Hi I have installed salemaker, and the 3 columns mod for sale maker, but it doesn't work. If i have one row of products as standard, it shows the sale prices. If i have 3 columns it doesn't show the sale prices. Any ideas out there on how i can get the two to work together. TIA Julian

I know i'm new to this, hence the question regarding, will it work or not? But the site you have indicated, didn't validate any url's robots.txt file that i typed in, not just this one. I typed in some of the larger well know on-line stores, like B&Q(diy.com) plus a few others. So i'm not convinced this test is useful, although you may be right that it doesn't work. I also don't see it as "messing with search engines", more of an attempt to optimise my site, it's usage, what snoops around it, and protect it and my customers at the same time. Julian

OK, thanks stevel Will this still work then as it is, or should i remove the mozilla lines quoted? I'm new to this, so i don't want this file to cause me any problems. Thanks Julian

Having scoured the www to get the latest robots info, i have finally come accross a robots.txt that works. The top part are editable to suit you. These are the folders i don't want ANY spiders to go through, ie, no point. The bottom list, are spiders/robots i don't want at all. They are just spam bots, e:mail bots and generally just nosey around pinch info and use up precious band width. This has successfully seen off 35 robots in 4 days that have no intention of crawling the content for SEO purposes. Please note i am a newbie to this, so any comments welcome, do you see any problems with it?. If everyone thinks this is OK, maybe it could be added as a simple contribution. please use at your own risk, and back up/rename your old robots.txt. I hope you find this useful Julian

I've installed the config cache for ms2 v1.31 and get an error when i do the update in my Admiin shop config. Warning: fopen(home/julianp/config/config_cache.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/julianp/public_html/admin/includes/configuration_cache.php on line 38 Warning: fwrite(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/julianp/public_html/admin/includes/configuration_cache.php on line 39 Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/julianp/public_html/admin/includes/configuration_cache.php on line 40 Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/julianp/public_html/admin/includes/configuration_cache.php:38) in /home/julianp/public_html/admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 18 I have created a config folder and put a config_cache.php in there, which i "think" is correct following the instructions. The folder and file have 777 permissions. I have edited the two config_cache_read files to suit this folder and file. Can anyone see from the errors what i may have done wrong? In my Admin, i have set enable cache to true, and tried to edit the cache folder to use, this was /tmp/ it is now the above file. Whatever i do, i get the above error???? Any help appreciated, thanks Julian

Any help please?

I have just installed the configuration cache contribution and it makes no difference whatsoever to the page load speeds. Has anyone else installed this and what were the results? I have no errors, so i assume i have installed it correctly. Any advice/comments appreciated. Load time before was 16.2 secs load time after 16.2 ( i refreshed this aswell, just in case) i have cache enabled in my store, is this correct? (newbie, sorry) TIA Julian :D

i need my catagory/products to be in descending price order, not ascending alphabetical order as now. Anyone got an idea if theres a contribution that does this? or advice on how to do it. TIA Julian ps: i've tried the Auto sort products and it totally screwed everything.

Do any of you geniuses know how to change the Worldpay cart ID so you can understand it, ie, to the customers name. Confirmation e:mails show cart ID =osC+a load of letters and numbers. Currently two ways to see who it is, is to go to admin and check which customer has just registered (by date), what did they buy, then how much etc to get the right match Or Go to Worldpay and view the full statement? any help please, it's got to be easier if it has it all in the e:mail. TIA Julian

Hi I want to put my products in numerical order rather than alphabetical. ie, lowest price first. I have been told to try the Auto Sort Products contribution, has anyone installed this? and will it do what i want it to? I have read the "read me" and don't understand the following (another Newbie, sorry):- apply the "diff" patch or use "MS2 patched files" of this file. Note: files in the folder "MS2 patched files/catalog" of this file are the result of the application of the diff patch on a "clean" 2.2 MS2. Any help please, i've e:mailed the Author with no reply. Cheers, and TIA Julian

How do i add meta tags to HTML pages if they are all created by the index.php. Everywhere i look for optimizing my site mentions this as important. I am a newbie, and i'm getting confused by the info on meta tags. I don't know where else to put them? I have them at the top of my index.php. For example, i sell at the moment, 8 product catagories. How do i define each product to help with SE results. I know metas are not everything anymore, and there are lots of threads on this. Please keep any replies in newbie lingo, cheers TIA Julian

Hi Can't really comment on the contributions. But it is probably just as quick to do a full back up in Cpanel, and try them out. Julian

I have installed the "current_auctions_1_2b_fl_1" contribution, and it is now working OK. The only problem is that the link sends me to the German site, therefor everything ends up in German. How do i get it to link to e-bay.co.uk. I know where the code is, but i need the full URL. Any help with this please. Take a look at my site if it helps, and click on e-bay icon. TIA Julian

When i go to Admin and select the thumbnails page i get this. What do i have to do to get it to work? I am new to all of this, so any replies very much appreciated. The simpler the reply the better aswell.

Have a look in catalog/admin/modules Julian

The admin orders doesn't tell me much, only the name, how much and the date. If i sell (hopefully) say 15 items in one day, it will show me all the same date but no ref.

I can view the orders in admin, but it doesn't tell me any info relating to any of the callback info.
