NodsDorf Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Jack_mcs stuff is my preference. I had SEO URLS 5 installed but ran into an issue with the Google Product Feeder, found that it was related to this mod, so I had to roll it back and installed jacks' which I would have done in the first place had I been paying attention. Both are people are expert coders and great people on the forums, I just have used Jack's stuff since I started with Oscommerce 8 years ago and it has served me well. There is no right one, just preferences. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 For urls and meta tags i would suggest you go with Jack_mcs versions, just because he is still actively developing/supporting them.

jhande Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Thank you both Don and Nick. I feel slightly old school here too and kind of wanted to stick with Jacks versions. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I'm feeling like an osC newb again. :blush: - :: Jim :: - - My Toolbox ~ Adobe Web Bundle, XAMPP & WinMerge | Install ~ osC v2.3.3.4 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Jacks add ons win every time. He updates them all, and they will all work together. More importantly he will also spend time in the specific help threads giving help and advice should you encounter problems.

jhande Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 Thanks Steve :thumbsup: Jack and I go way back... he has helped me a lot.

burt Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 FWR Medias stuff is far better coded, and is what I recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥toyicebear Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 The FWR Media stuff has better code, but it seems they are no longer being maintained/supported by the author. ( FWR Media Last Active Aug 22 2011, 09:32 ) So for non-coders its recommended to stick with Jack_mcs versions. If you are code savy on the other hand then you will probably prefer FWR Media's versions.

Jack_mcs Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Needless to say, I'm quite curious as to how one judges "better code." Please explain what it is that makes my code inferior so that I can fix it, if needed.

( FWR Media Last Active Aug 22 2011, 09:32 ) That is true. Unfortunately Rob left the community. So for non-coders its recommended to stick with Jack_mcs versions. I still recommend non-coders to go with the better coded version. Jack; One judges better code, by being a coder, working with code day in and day out. What do I prefer to work with? FWR. All you need to do is look at the difference in code between yours and FWR, and as a coder, you should be able to see exactly why I say that FWR's is superior in every aspect to yours. FWR's is written cleanly, it is modular, it requires very few code edits to get working. What also turned me off of all your stuff is your inability to deal with bugs in a cleanly coded manner, whereas FWR deals with his quickly and cleanly (yes, even now, even though he is not active here). This is my opinion only; as you can read, you have a couple of non-coders and a well known coder who recommend yours over FWR. So, try not to get too twisted up over it.

Trully, just curious. I stand behind my code. Now that I see your reasons though, I understand the statement.

jhande Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 No worries Jack... I'm still a faithful user/follower of your contributions. :shifty: - :: Jim :: - - My Toolbox ~ Adobe Web Bundle, XAMPP & WinMerge | Install ~ osC v2.3.3.4 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotclutch Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 If you are starting a store from scratch with V2.3, you should also consider the built in code that there now is for header tags, together with a contribution like Modular header tags http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7646 There is no guarantee that a script writer supporting a contribution today, will be around doing the same tomorrow. Also, just because a script writer is no longer part of the community, is no reason to no longer use their code. It is still something to build off of.

Thanks, will take a look. There is no guarantee that a script writer supporting a contribution today, will be around doing the same tomorrow. Also, just because a script writer is no longer part of the community, is no reason to no longer use their code. It is still something to build off of. Very true. I just feel more comfortable when the writer is available and offers help when trying to add their code. - :: Jim :: - - My Toolbox ~ Adobe Web Bundle, XAMPP & WinMerge | Install ~ osC v2.3.3.4 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotclutch Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Going without SEO URLs is another alternative, then you don't need to depend on script writer support. It is possible to rank well without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhande Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Thanks Ashley... Since my previous shop used SEO URL's I'd like to use it again and hopefully get back on Google's first page results as before. :thumbsup: - :: Jim :: - - My Toolbox ~ Adobe Web Bundle, XAMPP & WinMerge | Install ~ osC v2.3.3.4 - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
