Hotclutch Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 There used to be a link on the product pages on the front end, when this field was filled. It's been removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burt Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 We (Matt and I) did not have time/effort to make every product_info module so some of the more unused ones (eg the URL module)...are waiting to be built and added to Core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥JcMagpie Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 @Ken_Shea you can use this https://apps.oscommerce.com/XhWBp&jcm-product-info-products-url-ce Or you can use this https://apps.oscommerce.com/5ZwuF&jcm-product-info-description-tabs-ce both will use the Products URL on the info page.

Ahh OK, did not realize this URL was for the purpose of linking to the manufacturer's web site, makes sense now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or otherwise. I use it to link to my own blog articles. I am not a professional webmaster or PHP coder by background or training but I will try to help as best I can. I remember what it was like when I first started with osC. It can be overwhelming. However, I strongly recommend considering hiring a professional for extensive site modifications, site cleaning, etc. There are several good pros here on osCommerce. Look around, you'll figure out who they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 @Ken_Shea Perhaps you'd like to sponsor a coder to build a properly coded one so that it can be rolled into the Core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Shea Posted February 7, 2019 Author Share Posted February 7, 2019 This particular function, now that it is understood is of little value to my site. That said, I'd be happy to help out the larger community by sponsering a coder, how is this done? Curious Burt, I've read dozens of your helpful post and have never seen you ask this question ever, why me?🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burt Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 It sounded like you needed it, and the two offered addons above...are both far from ideal for core code. As you don't need it (and most people to be fair...don't ... hence why it was never made in the first place) there's no point in getting that made. Otherwise someone like @raiwa or @BrockleyJohn may have made something for you/core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgirulat Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 This is a feature that attracted me to OSCommerce earlier. Returning to it now, I need and will count on it. I agree... how can I ensure it gets into core? This feature eliminates the need to maintain duplicate entries and sync them. In high volume, it is invaluable. In heavy traffic, it might slow down... but I need to see it in order to evaluate and expect it to function well. Help please. Thank you...
