Help with 'Similar Products Box'

[One-6 Enterprises]

I need help with a contribution that I've installed but cant seem to get working the way I want it to.

The problem is as soon as I enable "Use Search-Engine Safe URLs" (which helps me greatly with search engines and I MUST use it) the similar products infobox does not show up.

This works perfectly when "Use Search-Engine Safe URLs" is disabled in the "My Store" configuration of my admin.

 

It is a great contribution written by Jim Keebaugh located here: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...ons,2157/page,8

 

..but... I cant seem to located the author in the forums or contact him in any way to ask for his help.

Theres got to be some simple way of adapting this contribution to work while the search engine friendly URLs are on.

 

This is how I call it up in my column_left.php file:

 

//  Show the Similar Products box if we are on a product page
 if (isset($_GET['products_id'])) include(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'similar_products.php');

 

Is there a different way to do this that works with Search Engine Friendly URLs?

 

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.
