Hi,

 

Would be good to get some feedback on the following..which Session Killer contibution is best to go with Chemo's Ulitmate SEO URL's?

 

From browsing the available contributions I think I'll be choosing from either..

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...arch,sid+killer (SID Killer)

with..

Joshua Dechant's "buy now links to forms" contribution

 

or..just use..

 

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri...arch,session+id (Session Start Mod - moves buy now and login button to their own pages and kills relevant SID's)

 

Can anyone comment on how they have achieved combining any of these two combo's with Ultimate SEO URL's and any probs encountered etc?

 

Thanks for any feedback.

Don't install either. Be sure the Prevent Spider Sessions option is turned on and that's all you need.

But won't the robots still be able to set sessions when they access 'buy now' etc?

 

Does Prevent Spider Session sort it all out? Was that put in after all these contributions that seek to fix that prob? i.e. MS 2.2 is equipped to deal with it anyway?

 

And is all this based on 'Force Cookies' being on which I don't want to do in case people don't have cookies enabled..

If you set Prevent Spider Sessions to true and download and use the latest spiders.txt from the contributions section, spiders/bots will not get session id when visiting your site.

Thanks for this info.

 

Was 'Prevent Spider Sessions' made a part of Osc after people had made contributions (like mentioned above) to solve that problem? So, it's superseded the need for those contributions?

 

And I don't want to force cookies..can I still have that set as false and all will work ok?

One of the contribs is older and started before Prevent Spider Sessions was implemented as a standard feature...

 

And the other one, Session Start Mod is buggy and and not fully developed.

 

 

Force cookies can be set to false.

Thanks, that makes sense then. 'Prevent Spider Sessions' does as standard what the first contribution did in its absence.

 

My site is yet to go live..it will be in the next week or so after some further testing.

 

If I set..

 

Prevent Spider Session = True

Recreate Session = True

Force Cookies = False

 

..will I then be sorted in terms of robots etc not getting session id's on their URL's at my site? It doesn't stop them indexing all the pages of my site though does it?

 

Is there anywhere I can go to read up on the Prevent Spider Session code and what it does?
