(thanks that those variables are working now!) the double thing is fixed aswell - thanks! ah and nevermind about the STS... i dont use it anymore - but i didnt replace the title on first installation. so maybe its working aswell - but maybe there are probelms with head tas controller code inside the STS (its merged in latest version) Edited February 9, 2005 by spleen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you want to csutomize yours go through the code and commend the lines. Like line 208 , change that to //$metadescription.=' - '; These are not bugs just a tatst difference java script:emoticon(':blink:') smilie Hope that helps...

Guest Posted February 11, 2005 why do you say this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...because Chris is correct in advising that the cookie SCOPE should be defined as such. That is the #1 most common mistakes I have seen with store owner configuration. As Chris as stated it should be .domain.com and NOT www.domain.com or http://www.domain.com as is so common. .domain.com - corrent www.domain.com - will work but may present problems http://www.domain.com - don't even try it...will fail every time Bobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TCwho 0 Posted February 11, 2005 wow thanks. Mistake I had made myself, although in my situation I had not encountered any problems, although I am not live yet, and am not forcing cookies... when I was getting my ssl cert, I had the choice of getting domain.com or www.domain.com ... I got it issued to www.domain.com, but would it have been better to get it issued to .domain.com? thanks guys, I appreciate this help Drop_Shadow How Did You Hear About Us Email HTML Order Link ---- GMT -5:00 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With out looking at it I believe the only difference for BTS is step 3, instead of having to do all pages you only have to do one tpl page. I will try to look at STS soon.

ukgoods 0 Posted February 18, 2005 I noticed that inactive items are showing up in the meta keywords tag on when displaying all items in a category. Any idea how can I change the query to only get active items? For an example: http://www.ukgoods.com/biscuits-mcvities-c-33_52.html The meta keywords are showing up as: <meta NAME="Keywords" Content="mcvities, mcvities favourites biscuit tin, mcvities fruit shortcake, mcvities plain chocolate hobnobs, mcvities victoria biscuit tin, mcvities hobnobs, mcvities rich tea biscuits, mcvities milk"> The McVities Favourites Biscuit Tin and McVities Victoria Biscuit Tin are specialty Christmas items and are inactive.
