Ask A Question

Hi All

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this problem.

I've got everything working OK, but for some reason when you send the 'question' form, it stays on a blank page. I do receive the email, and if I use the back button to go back to the form, I see the confirmation message that it was sent.

Is this some PHP error?

The site's at:

http://vicsjewellery.com/zencart/ind...&products_id=1

You can send the form, it isn't live yet ;o)

I'm wondering if anyone else had this problem happen? Instead of showing the ask a question button, it shows instead the write a review button!

I've looked and looked and can't figure out why?

http://texrag.com/store/index.php?ma...&products_id=6

When I remove the image button reference the link works fine though.

Anybody knows of a solution?

I have been getting Spam through the AAQ mod.

Any tips on cutting down on these?

I already have "Verify E-Mail Addresses Through DNS" set to true, but I am still getting Spam.

Me too. "CAPTCHA using TTF & GD" mod works great, but only covers Contact Us, Tell a friend, reviews, create account, and submit links. It does not cover this page, so protection is incomplete.

It is simple enough to edit the tpl_ask_a_question and put in the code, but that is as far as I can figure out. Also need to edit the header.php file and add a sql statement.

I'll post the instructions for adding captcha. But the ultimate solution is to get a better spam filter. Spam is part of the game if you have an online operation; it's a cost of doing business.

just a quick note to mention the link for this module to ask a question is broken when i use simple_seo_url_rev235.zip ... but i add to params:

Exclude list = advanced_search_result,ask_a_question

for the seo and it doesnt optimize it, so it keeps working.

Hello
I like this contribution a lot, Thanks swguy.
I am wondering if there is a way to add/pass along more information to the ask a question page. Besides the name of the product and picture I would like to add the attributes that the visitor selects on the product info page ( size, color etc.)

Thanks
Andrew

Not without significant rework.

Hi Everyone,

This is going to be something really simple, I can imagine, and hope anyway.

I want the "ask a question" page and link to be secure (always and in all cases). I know someone else asked the question some time ago, and the question was shooed away on this thread, but there are 2 practical reasons for this:

1. Customers are submitting personal information such as email addresses. I prefer to have all customer information submitted on a secure page. It's just good business practice. I can't see why anyone wouldn't agree with that.

2. This contribution has damaged my google ranking. Yes, I checked and Google webmaster tools shows me as having "duplicate content" which has damaged our specific search term from #1 down to #6 and #7 depending on the date. Since the google bot already has crawled the site a number of times and found these errors, I cannot seem to get it out of its mind that it doesn't exist without going and uninstalling the entire contribution (which I kinda actually like) and even then I'm not sure that it won't just ding me for missing pages. Yes, I have rebuilt my sitemap after removing it, but I just want the contrib to be secure. Is that so wrong?

Can anyone quickly help me make the ask a question page secure? I feel like I'm overlooking something simple.

when customers open the page /index.php?main_page=ask_a_question&products_id=11
could it show both Product name and Model ?
