westkoast Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 K, after 5 days of slaving behind the cpu I've come VERY close to completing the site. I'm having a few last minute issues that need to be cleaned up, but from there I was wondering if anyone has any advice on things to check on or verify that are working? Two issues I have NOT been able to resolve: 1) International shipping : I can't open the USPS methods files, and I'm not on unix 2) on the cart page, the product name is a link. How do I remove the link? It points to the actual product page created by OSC, but I made my own product pages. Thanks everyone! This board has been a HUGE help, and I wouldn't have been able to do it without the "search" function, and the knowlege of people on this board. I need to read the rules more often...

Rumble Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Hey westkoast 2) on the cart page, the product name is a link. How do I remove the link? It points to the actual product page created by OSC, but I made my own product pages. Located in .....catalogincludesmodules you'll find the file order_details.php and the lines below // Model if (PRODUCT_LIST_MODEL && strstr($PHP_SELF, FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART)) echo ' <td valign="top" class="main"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id'], 'NONSSL') . '">' . $products[$i]['model'] . '</a></td>' . "n"; // Product name, with or without link if (strstr($PHP_SELF, FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART)) { echo ' <td valign="top" class="main"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id'], 'NONSSL') . '"><b>' . $products[$i]['name'] . '</b></a>'; } else { echo ' <td valign="top" class="main"><b>' . $products[$i]['name'] . '</b>'; } You need to remove the link tags eg. for the model <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id'], 'NONSSL') . '">' . $products[$i]['model'] . '</a> Should read; ' . $products[$i]['model'] . ' And for the name <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $products[$i]['id'], 'NONSSL') . '">' . $products[$i]['name'] . '</a> Should read; ' . $products[$i]['name'] . ' This should be it :D Let me know how it goes Reddy to Rumble Reddy to Rumble Thank you osCommerce and all who Contribute to her!

Mark Russell Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 Save the hassle after going live and be sure to deploy your site to the root level. The search engines (spelled "GOOGLE") will like that deploy much better. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The search engines (spelled "GOOGLE") will like that deploy much better. Mark Even if the informational part of the site is at the root level with "home" "profile" "about us" etc, etc. Just the store is in the "store" folder. Should I still put it all down to root? How much re-configuring do I need to do to accomplish this...just the configure.php files? I need to read the rules more often... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 2) on the cart page, the product name is a link. How do I remove the link? It points to the actual product page created by OSC, but I made my own product pages. Uh, this may not apply to your shop...but, do your products have attributes? How does a customer return to the page they ordered your product from to make changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loxly Posted February 7, 2003 Share Posted February 7, 2003 My sites are spidered just fine at the second level. Google doesn't need everything at root level as long as there is something there to spider that has links to the next level and the next level and the next level... I have one site that has 1 file at the root level that gets 2000-3000 search engine hits a day on pages that are 4 and 5 levels deep.

How does a customer return to the page they ordered your product from to make changes? I didn't have a chance to customize the dynamically generated pages, so I made my own static product pages (for the time being). I did this because each produt page needed 4 images, 3 pop up windows, and a 4 style selctions that oscommerce did not support....blah...hard to explain... I need to read the rules more often...

I had three listings - one for default.php and two for the categories. I moved everything up to / just before Thanksgiving and was hit 680 times in the December main crawl resulting in 580+ product page listings (with no sids of course :) ) Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itbejared Posted February 17, 2003 Share Posted February 17, 2003 hey you guys, is there any certain thing you do to have the engines spider through your site? I have my catalog at /mysite/catalog/default.php and I am hoping that google finds it. If not how would I move all my thing to /mysite/ w/o /catalog/?
