[Custom SEO URLs - worth it?]

Hi all,

First post as I've just started working with CubeCart as part of my new job.

Can anyone shed any light on the following question?

We have several hundred products in our catalogue and none of them have had the Custion SEO URL section completed. Do you think that it is worth filling these in?? Isn't this just another way of keyword stuffing?

We need to know that our natural listings on Google will go up before committing to spending hours trawling through every product.

Any advice would be great.

P.S. I'm not a tech-head, so can you make any advice idiot-proof?!!

Thanks

leave the custom SEO url section blank in each products edit product forms

if you are using the mod rewrite seo urls already

no need to do these all you will get is dupe links and dupe content...

[DOT POINTS]

when writting the product discription i add DOT POINTS like this

• example
  
• hello
  
• test
  

when saving the page and opening the browser it comes up like this

examplehellotest

i have tryed and tryed..i tryed using pure HTML instead of the text editor it still didnt work..

It is odd tho...the frontpage aloud me to do this....but all product pages wont let me

anybody with help that be GREAT cheers

dont use the & bull

use the ordered (numbers) or unordered list (Bullet points) in the fck editor tool bar

and if those dont show up its because the skin you are using has the unordered list hosed

( I hate the way cubecart messes up lists and forces you to use class="bullet" to get your bullets back

if you dont know which tool is unordered list hover each icon till you find it

type out your list one item per line

put your cursor to the left of the first item

click the unordered list icon You get a bulleted point

goto the next item in the list and put your cursor to the left of the list item

and backspace

and then hit enter to get it to make the secondbullet

and repeat

backspacing the next list item and hitting enter

when all items have been set with bullet points

enter twice after ther last item

to step out of the list and continue product description

if the bullet points show up in FCK but not on the front end you will need to edit source and add to each <Li>

class="bullet"

or

class="bulletLrg" to make them show up again

I comepletely rewrite my styles.css and layout.css to make sure bullet points show up automatically in any boxContent div

[Change the tiny little product options text area in v4.x.x]

In v4.x.x in the ADMIN customers orders screen have you noticed that the product options field is tiny? 30col wide 1 row tall???? wtf? OMG

and it carries a couple of tab spaces as well??? wth?

You can easily miss if a customer has product options because of this

I aint here to complain or whine Ive done that to Al already and got no satisfactory answer...

so heres the fix:

Open admin/sources/orders/orderBuilder.inc.php

FIND:

<textarea name="product_options[<?php echo $i; ?>]" cols="30" rows="1" class="textbox">

	  <?php

	  //echo stripslashes(str_replace("&amp;#39;","'",$orderInv[$i]['product_options'])); 

	  echo str_replace('&amp;','&',$orderInv[$i]['product_options']);

	  ?>

	  </textarea>

REPLACE WITH:

<textarea name="product_options[<?php echo $i; ?>]" cols="30" rows="15" wrap="physical" class="textbox"><?php echo str_replace('&amp;','&',$orderInv[$i]['product_options']); ?></textarea>

this will give the product options text area in the admin customers order screen a textarea you can actually read from 15 rows tall and all extra tabs removed and it is set to wrap="PHYSICAL"

which means data that had line returns will have that data's line returns PRESERVED so it doesnt just run on

a simple thing but makes our life easier

THIS stuff should be standard in the download package.... seeing how this is probably the MOST important screen we use as admins on our stores....

;)

[Corrupt code appearing]

did you pay for a software license only?

OR

a software license AND a copyright removal Key too?

if you only paid for a software license that footer is illegal and your CC install has been edited to try and remove devillions copyright notice illegally....

If you paid for both put in a ticket...

[Customer Password Recovery 3.0.18]

I have been testing all of the features of a cart I have set up for a client. Everything seems to work except the password recovery. (tell a friend, newsletter all working) No mail gets sent for the password recovery. I am hosting on Hostmonster, (that is where the e-mail server is.

I have a feeling this has to do with my SMPT/mail() settings can someone layout exactly what these settings need to be. I use settings which work for my computers mail client. And I have tried many other variations. This is how I have it set (which makes the most sense to me)

SENDING METHOD: SMPT

HOST : mail.mydomain.com

SMTP Port: 26 (as stated in the hostmonster e-mail set up area)

Use Authentication? Yes

SMTP Username: info+mydomain.com

SMTP Password: (the password)

change host to: localhost

that might do the trick I had a client on hostmonster at one point and thats what we did

[Category Error Message]

I am trying to add a new category and everytime I do, I get the following message:

Warning: fopen(/home/fujipro/public_html/fuji_store/includes/extra/admin_cat_cache.txt) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/fujipro/public_html/fuji_store/includes/functions.inc.php on line 1358

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/fujipro/public_html/fuji_store/includes/functions.inc.php on line 1360

The new category will show, but when you make a new product, the new category will not be on the list.

Can anyone help on this?

means your folder

/public_html/fuji_store/includes/extra/

and or your file

/public_html/fuji_store/includes/extra/admin_cat_cache.txt

isnt chmodded to 777 (no write priveldges)

login to your site with an ftp client and make sure its chmodded to 777 on the folder and the file

[Is it possible for new site documents NOT to be shown on the top menu?]

Hi,

I have quite a number of custom pages to be added to my store. But i would not like all of these custom pages to be added to the top menu. Isit possible to remove certain links shown on the top menu?

search the http://cubecartforums.org forum for "show hide sort site docs anywhere" by convict

no cubecart site should be without this mod

[Renaming categories/products and duplicate content issues]

When I rename one of my products or categories the URL changes.

For example renaming a category from canvas shoes to canvas espadrilles has the following effect:

http:// www.example.co.uk / store / canvas-shoes / cat_16.html

http:// www.example.co.uk / store / canvas-espadrilles / cat_16.html

This is great but the old URL seems to still work. Both URLs are now pointing to the same page. This is causing me duplicate content problems.

Does anyone know if there any way to resolve this?

[Can't switch store off]

Hello

My shop is running fine, but I am unable to switch it off using the "turn store off" button.

Every time I try I see the "Configuration Updated" text as I should, but the store stays online.

I believe all chmod settings are correct, and the database is defined correctly.

Any clues ?

1) make sure that "Allow administrators to view store off line? (Requires admin session)" is set to no

2) even with that set to yes if you Logout of your admin CP and view the front end it will be off...

Hope this helps

[Languages]

remove the language macro from /skins/YOUR SKIN/styleTemplates/global/index.tpl

and possibly from

[Order details]

Id like to know why this was taken out of v4 as well as it not the standard for

any e-commerce cart to not provide order details in the order emails

IMHO this was a severely BAD move on Devillions part

[Upload File by Customer]

Hi,

We are in the process of buying CubeCart to design a store selling online promotional products (printed pens, custom calendards, etc). We want to know if there is an option for the customer to upload a fild (a logo, etc) while placing the order?

[image resizing help]

Hi have tried changing the GD settings but nothing seems to fix it.

Have a look here:

http://www.waylandgames.co.uk/privateer-pr.../prod_3608.html

How can i prevent the image stretching outside the middle section of the page?

Open photoshop or other image editor

and RESIZE the image SMALLer to fit in your content section

GD will only make thumbs in CubeCart

Resize the image

Reupload the NEW smaller image

remove the current image

Insert the new image....

that or have someone like me design you an actual custom skin and make the site wider...

I aint cheap tho....

But Im good...

Hope this is clear...

[Need help with linking]

Hello everyone.

I have set up the front page of my shopping cart very simple. I manually put the product images in using html. I would like to link these pictures so that when clicked on, it would take them directly to the product info page and let them choose whether or not to buy. Here is the link: http://www.twintailclothing.com/cart

My question: When I put the product in through the back end, what is the url to that product?

put the products in

then visit them from the front end...

copy the URL

edit your homepage

click the image

click the insert/edit link icon

paste the URL

[How do i change the catagory font style?]

Hi like it says where do i change the catagory font ? I have a custom font which i want to use instead of the standard used in cubecart V4.

Anyone help?

Cheers!

fonts are set in the /skins/YOUR SKIN/styleSheets/layout.css

and

/skins/YOUR SKIN/styleSheets/styles.css

a note on custom fonts

if your customers dont have the font they wont see the font...

we use a very short list of fonts and font familys because of this

and forcing a customer to download an install a custom font is never gonna happen

a font family is like Arial Helvitica sans serif

meaning if the user doesnt have arial they get helvitica if they dont have helvitica they get their default sans serif font

[Deleted Product Still Linked to Category]

I'm new to CubeCart, but so far I'm enjoying the freedom it has given me to build my site myself. Right now, I'm a little stuck because of a mistake I made, but I'm hopeful someone can offer a solution.

I added a product to two different categories (let's say CatA and CatB) and later deleted CatA. The product is no longer showing in the product list, but CatB cannot be deleted because it contains the missing product.

I'm still in fiddling and learning mode, so it wouldn't be a huge inconvenience for me to lose all my categories and products at this stage if necessary, though ideally I'd like to keep/recover the missing product.

Thank you!

Kerrie

A category cannot be deleted if it contains a product....

so move the product to a new category

or delete the product then you can delete the category

[Redirect HTTP to HTTPS]

Well you could start with adding an actual SSL Certificate...

ON your Own IP and having the SSL certificate installed so that https requests actually get listened to on port 443

forcing redirect without a SSL cerfificate is just plain silly

w/o it https will get 500 internal server or several other errors

[Problem with our Cart...........]

simple answer...

sompe people dont ever intend to actually complete their order by going thru the gateway and they abandon their cart

before going to linkpoint

As to why Cubecart creates an order before they go thru the gateway the answer is:

Cubecart has to have the order in the DB for it to be able to update it with the response from the gateway

and set it to processing or if denied or abandoned remain at pending
