Fourbit Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 That?s the problem. Thank you very much Paul. :blush: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No problem yoclaudio, glad I could be of some simple assistance. :D I do that error a lot. ;) So, it was real familiar. Now, any time I get a "headers already sent" error, I almost have it changed before the site page completes loading. :D Paul PS. what are you using for an editor? Just curious.

Thanks again <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Probably your .htaccess file. Make sure you make the change that is commented on in the .htaccess change. As Bobby said. Go back and verify that you did indeed make the changes...the code should look like this: RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # or, RewriteBase /catalog/ depending on if it is root or folder install RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} And post a link too. If you are still having probs. Paul Edited January 19, 2005 by Fourbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwno Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I use dreamweaver or notepad, it?s ok? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As long as the program you're using saves the correct charset and don't add extra code that messes things up, it shouldn't matter what program you use. You should be able to set the charset in any good editor. Be sure to save documents in the same charset as the one you specify in the meta tags. You may also want to check to see if your server's sending documents in a default charset, and save your documents accordingly or change the default charset for the server. In osCommerce, the meta tag charset is set in includes/languages/<yourLanguage>.php. Eivind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanpuffelen Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 After havind a lot of problems Bobby know's :-" I have only one thing left. I turned of SEO urls in the admin module, but I still keep getting the osc sessions in my adress bar, is there a sollution how to fix this? :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourbit Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Just a note. I am using EasyPopulate for the site. And when you upload using this nothing will change in the SEO cache file. So, for a quick answer, I just deleted the file in the cache directory. And it magically regenerated with the new product added. (thanks to Bobby's coding). But, I realized that we needed something a bit more automatic. So, I modd'ed the easypopulate.php file. I added one line at the bottom of the file require('includes/reset_seo_cache.php'); Now the bottom of the file lookes like this. // end of row insertion code } require('includes/reset_seo_cache.php'); require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?> Seems to work. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Fourbit, Very nice! That will do it...can you post that over in the Easy Populate thread as well? I'm sure they'll appreciate it since it's a one line fix for immediate compatiblity. Good job! Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 OK...here is the quick fix. 2 files need to be changed: application_top.php and product_listing.php. Perfect! It looks great! Now I'm off to try and make my Wishlist work with this. If I get that working, next stop will be to re-incorporate meta tags. Thanks, Bobby! -jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Jared, Don't know much about the wishlist but the meta tags should work without modifications. This contribution is a transparent wrapper. If you echo $_SERVER[php_SELF] it'll be either index.php or product_info.php. If you echo $_GET['products_id'] or $_GET['cPath'] it'll come up with the right values. Thus, it is a transparent wrapper and should not affect the metas. If you run into issues let me know but I've installed it on 4 or 5 sites with Linda McGrath's Header Tag Controller without a hitch.

Guest Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Problem is, I can't remember at the moment which meta tag contrib I added - - was simpler than Linda's from what I remember. But, it's my anniversary, and my wife is just about home from the store, so I suspect my time for osC is done until tomorrow. <grin> -jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Passing thought: If you are using uploading to Froogle, then the current froogle upload code will use the "old" URLs. Just a thought. You had to know this was coming, Bobby - - everyone wants to use your code, and so wants all of everyone else's contribs to work with it. If we're not careful, you'll make programmers out of the hacks, and hacks out of the uninitiated. :D -jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 As with cName all the old URL's still work :) So, if you have existing links from Froogle, other data feeds, or affiliates they will all still work. This is one of the reasons I went with a streamlined code...for compatibility. To test this go to a product page and hover over the image (which will have the pid in the browser status bar). Just redo the URL old school style like /products_info.php?products_id=xx and it'll pull up the same page. Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 nope - - doesn't look like I can use the meta tag contrib I was using previously. It's one in an e-book I bought a while ago from Gary Burton, but it pulls the product description from the database using the product id code in the URL. I'll have to go find one of the other ones. Pity. In its most basic form, it was just a few lines added to product_info.php. Super simple. -jared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 hhmmm...whether you use the cName or Rewrite method it should still pass the products_id and cPath transparently. I assume this is all happening in application_top so can you send me the file and let me take a look? It's probly just something that needs to me moved around a bit...I'm interested to see and fix it. Bobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's part of the book I bought from Gary, I'll ask him first before sharing it (since he asked that nicely in his book - - sure, he could have shared it on the forums, but it was a cheap book, and probably worth the time I saved just for searching the code and forums. I learned at lot, too. Ah, yes. And it does work. Not sure why I was thinking it didn't. -jared Edited January 20, 2005 by jcall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauldarthvader Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 ooops...forgot to answer your second part of the post :) My first guess would be that you did not perform the .htaccess file edit and hence do not have anything rewriting the URLs. If you forgot to do that step it will give 404 errors as you describe. Go back and verify that you did indeed make the changes...the code should look like this: RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / # or, RewriteBase /catalog/ depending on if it is root or folder install RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} Bobby <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bobby I'm still getting 404 errors in rewrite mode. I have checked the .htaccess file, it reads as per the instructions. The address bar reads http://ukgadgetsdirect.co.uk/remote-control-cars-c-36.html for my first cat and http://ukgadgetsdirect.co.uk/bmw-12v-2-cha...-blue-p-51.html for a product in it, but disply is a 404 error.

Top_Speed Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Hi Bobby, I believe I followed step by step instructions (very nicely done in html by the way!) I also altered the .htaccess (root where my shop is) uiploaded as instructed but I get the following errors when the shop displays. (admin seems OK) I went back and restored both my includes/application_top.php & includes/functions/html_output.php and it's back to norm but I would like your contrib. What did I do wrong?

Paul <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From one Paul to another. ;) HOWDY. I am making an assumption here. But, it looks like your store is in the root directory. Is that correct or are you using another redirect somewhere? Maybe if you post your .htaccess file, that would help. Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you clear this up then you might find some or all of the errors will dissapear. Im fairly sure that the next two session_start(): errors will bite the dust. Backup what you have and play around.
