has anybody installed this on osc RC1? I was able to get everything working on the latest milestone, but can not get it to work with RC1

you will have to port the new application_top.php into the root.php. Just follow the manual instructions. If you see errors you need to specify what is the error.

Its weird, I installed this on a clean copy of RC1 and keep getting errors saying it could not read the database table, each time its a different table, and now all I am just getting 404 errors. and no more of the database errors.

ok FYI is fully operational with RC1 I have integrated the code. The only thing was to change the root.php to use the updated section from the RC1 application_top.php Everything else stays the same.

 

New installations require the SEO-G .htaccess mods so don't forget that step.

okay well I got everything straight, site corrected itself...... weird.....

 

1 question though as I noticed this on my install with osc MS 2.2 as well as RC1 some of the urls do not generate properly meaning instead of swat-3-close-quarters-battle.htm instead of swat_3_close_quarters_battle.htm is this because the words are too long?

 

In the config section I have it set to _

if you change the separators while products, categories, manufacturers etc are already recorded you will have to rebuild them. So use the G-Controller and delete the products, categories etc as well as the reports. Once you do that you should see the current configured separators working.

to do this just copy all the code in the application.php file in between the SE0-G code to the root.php file?

I ported the new code from the application.php file to the root.php file and now the cookie usage page is showing, but when I used the root.php without the added code it works fine.

 

Do you have any ideas?

here's an oddity...

 

When I add a product with attributes to the cart, the link generated in the shopping cart box has the attribute compiling info in it, instead of being the product name. An example would look like "mysite.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=165{2}137" Is this because I'm running QTPro? I'm not too worried about fixing it but it does look a bit odd, lol.

I had the cookie usage page too. Copied the original code from application_top.php and then inserted it into the root.php but still the same problem.

Doesn't the document state to also modify the root.php (item-9b)

In addition the $request_type variable must be identified for SEO-G to function correctly. This is server dependent. The default osC code implements the following test:

And it is also noted at the top of the root.php

It's how it works at the moment. I thought of adding attributes to the links but they're not viewable by spiders so there is no point. Spiders cannot add items to the shopping cart. And the link is not translated when safe mode is on. When it's off it shows just the products link

:) yes the only point would be so that the customer isn't going 'huh?' if they click on the link in the cart and check their address bar.

It's what spiders can index. They cannot index links from the shopping cart because if they try to add something they should be redirected to the cookies usage page. And the product_info.php page contains a form to add items. Forms won't be translated. Bu default, a regular customer will see the original osC url from within the shopping cart.

Uhm... But I'm looking at it as if I'm a regular customer and that's the link that's appearing in the shopping cart infobox, so yes that is what my customer would see. Have added my site addy to my profile so you can see.

yes I understand. The primary target of SEO-G are the search engines. Anything SEs cannot see can be a regular link. Don't forget the XML map that is generated from recorded URLs so that can count as duplicated urls if it was recorded due to the way osC processes the product attributes (ie there are no page content differences).

returning to the problem with cookie usage page continuously showing, does it mean that I messed up something in root.php (though I double checked and sure I inserted right from aplication_top.php) ? or is it something else?

you may have to post the root.php, the .htaccess from the osc catalog and configure.php (minus dbase info). These are the files that if not properly setup can likely cause the problem.

ok the first problem is here (from root.php code)

 

  if ($request_type == 'NONSSL') {
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG);
 } else {
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG);
 }

 

This is not good. You need to put the code to setup the seo-g variables. There should be comments inside the root.php file (beginning of file).

It took awhile but I was able to get it straightened out, if you look at the code that you just inserted into the root.php file find this line

 

  if ($request_type == 'NONSSL') {
   define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG);
 } else {
   define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG);
 }

 

and replace it with this code

 

  if ($request_type == 'NONSSL') {
   define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG);
   $g_relpath = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG;
   $g_server = HTTP_SERVER;
 } else {
   define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG);
   $g_relpath = HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG;
   $g_server = HTTPS_SERVER;
 }

 

Look at the pic in this post I used that to compare that my root.php with the general one that has been used with RC1 it would be the same if you are using any of the MS versions of osc 2.2.

 

The instructions in the readme and the root.php file states this

// MAKE SURE THE FOLLOWING SECTION IS COPIED DIRECTLY FROM YOUR OWN

// catalog\includes\application_top.php and then set the $g_relpath, $g_server

// variables in this file such that:

 

It maybe use that are dense and did not understand it correctly or is written wrong, but it seems only a few of us are having this problem so it could be use. Although I must admit, saying set the variables is kinda confusing. I think it should read Add the following lines after this code here and here.

 

Hope this helps as it has helped me and I no longer have the cookie usgae error.

yeah I put this code instead and it worked!!! Thanks man, this is realy amazing contrib.

 

if ($request_type == 'NONSSL') {

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG);

$g_relpath = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG;

$g_server = HTTP_SERVER;

} else {

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG);

$g_relpath = HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG;

$g_server = HTTPS_SERVER;

}

 

 

Sorry for being so annoying, but the last question: when I enter product details it has a link like: http://www.xxx.com/very--her.html

how can I put manufacturers name in the middle of it so it has a link like: http://www.xxx.com/manufacturers name/very--her.html ?

I dont think you have been as annoying as me with this contrib... :lol:

 

now if I understood your question right you want your url to be displayed like http://mysite.com/manufactuersname/productsname.html or http://mysite.com/catergory/manufactuersna...oductsname.html ?

 

the way I have my site set-up right now is http://mysite.com/main_cat_name/sub_cat_na...oduct_name.html as well as http://mysite.com/main_cat_name/sub_cat_na...oduct_name.html depending on if I have a manufacturer listed.

 

I have my settings set to

SEO-G Parts Separator / Info

SEO-G Words Separator _ Info

SEO-G Inner Separator / Info
