Hi all

Recently I keep receiving Google Search Error report emails from goolge similar to this

To the owner of http://www.classicfuelinjection.co.uk/:

I do not have this installed

Looked in the market place and ( unless I am blind ) could not find it by searching for Product Schema

Or is it known by some other name ?

Thanks

It is v 2.3.4.1

anxious about updating as I have several mods and I am not sure I know what all of them are

i have a record of some but I think some details of the earlier mods ( most due to layout ) have been lost when I changed PC

Thanks

We were in the same boat a year or so back but there are some professional developers here that could do it for you - you'll probably be faced with it sooner or later.

You are using an old oscommerce version, you must to read Google Help and hardcode the data.

The best option is upgrade oscommerce an use the new structured data and other many upgrades :)

@eaglik Kevin,

Two thoughts ...

1) You stated you were:

While understandable, can you tell us what version of PHP your shop is running?

You stated that your shop is running osC v2.3.4.1. Since your shop is responsive, you are running a Community Edition version of osC (the 'official' release of osC is not responsive), created somewhere between 8/2017 and 7/2019. Numerous releases were made during this period, all with the same 'version number'. Unfortunately, the only way of know when your version was released is to look at the dates in the original ZIP file.

Earlier releases were not PHP 7.x ready. This was introduced gradually throughout the development of the code. What this means is: IF you are running an earlier release, and WHEN your host upgrades the version of PHP running on their server(s), your shop will have serious problems.

So, if for this reason only, it would be strongly recommended to at least begin looking at upgrading to Phoenix.

2) Your initial post also states:

As the message states, these are 'warnings', and not errors.

While Google is trying to make available (collect?) as much information as possible regarding your products, some of this information may not be available, or even pertinent to your products.

In addition, to create, store, and share this information will require making modifications to your database, as well as the code used to enter, edit, and display this information. This will require core code changes to your store. I'm not saying that this is not possible, but the direction the Phoenix development team has been heading is to create a code base that can be enhanced without making changes to the core code.

To summarize,  you can add these fields to your shop. I do not know of an existing add-on that does this, and even if one does exist, it will require a lot of core code changes (both on the shop side, and the admin side). IMHO, your time and effort would be better spent getting ready to upgrade your shop to Phoenix.

But, it's your shop. You do you.

Thanks all for your thoughts and input.

Currently running PHP 5.6.4

About a year ago I tried changing to PHP 7 something but it did not play well with my shop and I received all kinds of errors I could not seem to fix.

My hosting company gives the option of running earlier versions of PHP so I just back tracked to 5.6

However I appreciate as time goes on that they my well take this option away from me

With regards to my exact version the email conversations with the guy who converted for me to 2.3.4 are dated November 2016, so assume it was pretty much the latest release ( albeit hacked by him ? ) around this date.

Just noticed that Omar ( further up this post ) was the guy who converted for me when I had the shop under kauto.co.uk - small world heh !!

 

Assuming I take the plunge and exchange some beer tokens with somebody to convert my shop for me ( it is beyond me ! ) what are your good people's thoughts and recommendations as to which version I should be converting to ?

Obviously this is a changing world in terms of software and versions so nobody can be certain but if I do convert I would like the new one to have the highest potential shelf life before being forced to convert again to fix some other problem over the horizon

 

 

Thanks

@eaglik Kevin,

First, I would suggest you join the Phoenix club. See what the developers are doing with it. I also strongly encourage you to support the effort with a paid membership. In addition to supporting the ongoing development, you will receive valuable additional code and modules.

Second, IIRC, the current version of Phoenix is 1.0.7.1. You can download v1.0.7.0 (for free) from the osC download page. Do note that there was a small bug in the v1.0.7.0 release which was quickly fixed in the v1.0.7.1 release. Significant enhancements and upgrades have been happening since Phoenix was first released in July of last year (v1.0.0.0).

Third, and probably most important, is that the current direction the developers are taking is to have store owners use or write add-ons that do not make any changes to the core code. This way, the shop core can be upgraded quickly and easily, without the pain up upgrading a heavily modified shop.

Lastly, there are a number of developers that can assist you in upgrading your shop. There is also a list of 'approved developers' in the Phoenix club.

HTH

You have to program this manually. If you are logged in to google, you will get the error message again and again. the error of google is only ended when this is fixed. there are several files that need to be modified. alternatively, you can program something for header tags, but it does not produce the desired results so that all pages are covered. only from experience.

Each of the Certified Developers comes highly recommended.

Not all developers become certified.
