linuxmaster1979 Posted January 22, 2004 Share Posted January 22, 2004 This site went live not too long ago, and there are still a few things to work on. (like finishing adding products in some categories) ;) Please review, I'll be glad to return the favor. http://www.uniteddistributors.com Thanks!

Urbluffingme Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 I just noticed a bug on my own site. And I tried it out on yours. And I think I noticed the same thing on yours. I registered a dummy name and info. I then added something to my cart. I clicked home and it dumped my cart contents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search engines pickup pages in the root directory a lot better than those contained in sub directories. The one thing I wish oscommerce could do was install in the root directory. Anyone have any ideas for a work around on this? Thanks everyone for your comments!

tim_o_boy Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 Forgive me if I've misunderstood you, but do you want this kind of addressing: http://www.uniteddistributors.com/product_info.php instead of http://uniteddistributors.com/cart/product_info.php ?? If so, it's quite easy to set up this way, although the standard install doesn't do it. Many users have done. The way I did it was to do a regular install and then take the contents of catalog and put them in the root folder. Then just delete the catalog folder and re-configure the configure.php page so everything points where it should. Nice site - good luck with it.

linuxmaster1979 Posted January 24, 2004 Author Share Posted January 24, 2004 Hey tim boy, That was exactly what I was looking for, and I think that's actually what I did to get the home page to function in the root directory. I don't know why I didn't think to move all the pages out, I guess I wasn't sure about the functionality still working. I'll give that a try on one of my next projects. Thanks!

Urbluffingme Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 First off I would like to say great job on the site. Very professional. Very tasteful and well done. I did find a bug though. If you add something to your cart and then click on home, it dumps your cart contents. Here is the fix for this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devosc Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 You must be bluffing me! The reason that this is happening is because the initial cookie domain is configured to 'www.uniteddistributors.com' so when you click on the home button and redirected to 'uniteddistributors.com' a new session/cookie is created. http://zend.com/manual/function.setcookie.php.

Urbluffingme Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Well you can't have your customers dumping their cart every time they click home now can ya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devosc Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 It was a worthy observation, but it ain't an osC bug! rather a mis-configuration. "Any fool can know. The point is to understand." -- Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricK Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Very nice job! The one thing I wish oscommerce could do was install in the root directory. Anyone have any ideas for a work around on this? I initially did the same thing, then just copied the entire /catalog/ directory into the root directory, changed the configure files and it works great. Some comments ... 1.) I noticed on your product_info.php pages "This product was added to our catalog on ." is displayed without the date. I also had that prob., so just commented that out. 2.) On your popup_image it would be nice to add a Close Window [x] link. 3.) Add this text on the shopping cart page "Please click "Update" to change your Order Qty. before you "Checkout" ... because if you change Qty. and click Checkout, it does NOT update the cart. HTH :rolleyes: Regards, EricK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMalleys Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Hi Scott Nice site and very professional looking. I would love to know enough to have mine as individual looking :( I have added the babel fish translator to the left column too but it always appears at the top (I just copied alta vistas script to column_left.php) is there some code that I can add to make it go to the bottom? If you have a look at my humble effort you will see why - the babel fish box just sticks out like a sore thumb! http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=75672 Well done on a great site ;) David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥monte22 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Looks good. However, seems like it takes awhile to find the site...? I'm running a cable modem at 2 mbs, so I don't think it's my connection. Anyone else notice this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add the following code after the last ?> in column_left.php <tr> <td align="center"> <script language="JavaScript1.2" src="http://www.altavista.com/r?entr"></script> </td> </tr> That should put it at the bottom of the list.

linuxmaster1979 Posted January 28, 2004 Author Share Posted January 28, 2004 I've tried several of the things mentioned on trying to keep the cart from dropping its contents when clicking back to the home page. But, no luck so far. I'll tell you a little about the setup so hopefully one of you hopefully help me figure it out :) The entire website is contained in the "cart" directory, with the exception of the home page which is in the root directory. The only way I was able to get this to work was to make a duplicate includes directory in the root. Including the files from inside the "cart" path wasn't functioning, just getting errors.... So, I have duplicate include directories which is a real pain, and is of course what leads to my issue of the astranged dumping cart. I can't really change the setup of where the main files are now without a bunch of work and a loss in search engine placement. So, I need to maintain the same file structure. If there is a way to work around the duplicate includes directories that would probably fix it, but I haven't stumbled upon a solution to make this work the way it needs to. Thanks for the help on this, and next time I'll copy everything to the root directory!

Guest Posted February 3, 2004 Share Posted February 3, 2004 Great site, I like the color scheme and design. I would recommend removing the -> from the categories listings. You can do a search for category box enhancement or something like that, or just remove it yourself. Great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
