Hiding SID

[PeterSprak]

Hi all,

 

This is really bigining to bug me. :angry: For SEO purposes I would like to hide the SID that appears when you click on a product. Can anyone please advise how I go about doing this. :rolleyes:

 

Regards. Peter.

if you enable 'force cookie use' you get no sid, if thats not suitable there are other techniques to be found here with a little searching.

Thanks Sam,

 

I have just tried that and for some unknown reason I get the page advising how to change the settings for cookies on Internet explorer but although I have made the necessary changes, I still keep getting the same page.

 

Can I trouble you once more and ask if you know what the other methods are or point me in the right direction please? :blush:

 

Thanks again Peter.

Probably you have an error in your configuration file regarding cookie domain.

I don't recommend using the Force Cookie option. You just need to adjust your configure file to get the SID's to go away. Try posting your configure file here, without the login data, or search the forums for setting this up.

Hi Jack,

 

Is the configuration file in the admin folder? If so, there does not appear to be any login details.

 

Regards. Barry.

The file is named configure.php and is located in the includes directory.

The file is named configure.php and is located in the includes directory.

I have pasted the configure.php file below without the database passwords:

 

<?php

Can anyone help out please?

Can anyone help out please?

 

No one in this forum will help with that. The oscommerce session system has been hacked about.

 

Sessions are showing as ?sid=xxxx this is non standard you will have to contact whoever broke it, do it yourself, or hire a professional to do it for you.

[Daemonj]

Change both of your HTTP*_COOKIE_DOMAIN entries to be snoringshop.co.uk and that should get you taken care of.

[oschellas]

Try:

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'snoringshop.co.uk');

 

Or:

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.snoringshop.co.uk');

 

And:

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');

 

Or:

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

[BarrySmith]

Thanks Jack_msc, Daemonj and oschellas for all your help. I have finallly managed to get the thibng working!

 

Thanks again.

 

Peter.

Hi all need some more help on this one :o

 

I have noticed that when I goto my website www.snoringshop.co.uk, the SID shows up initially and then disappears when I click on another product. Can anyone please advice how I can totally get rid of the SID.

 

Sorry to be a pain again.

 

If it helps, I have added the configure file below:

 

<?php

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.snoringshop.co.uk');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.snoringshop.co.uk');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'snoringshop.co.uk');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'snoringshop.co.uk');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/snorings/public_html/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'XXXXXX');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'XXXXXX);

define('DB_DATABASE', 'snorings_snoringshop');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
