Failing redirects

[Limey]

I've updated a site from 1.5.1 to 1.5.4, installed a new responsive template (Stirling Grand - thanks Anne) and almost everything is fine. The product URL on the bottom of each product page on the old site still connects successfully to the external research site, but the equivalent on the new one fails - and I'm stumped.

Example

Old site. ZC 1.5.1 - http://www.considera.co.uk/hx/index....roducts_id=362

New site ZC1.5.4 - http://www.considera.co.uk/hxx/index...roducts_id=362

php 5.3.7
No debug footprint found
Both old and new sites are on the same host and server
Upgraded following the instructions (I think)

Thanks

I'm having difficulties at the moment finding the related post, but there were changes made in ZC 1.5.4 that modified how the product uri was generated/formatted. This change occurred in the header_php.php file for the product related pages. I know lat9 posted it and I commented on it at one point.

Regardless of that, I would suggest reviewing the templates forum and/or posting there. It may be related to the upgrade or the installation of the template.

The products URL display interface underwent an interface change in Zen Cart v1.5.3; I'm guessing that your template wasn't updated to support that new interface.

Okay, I stand corrected: change occurred in ZC 1.5.3 not 1.5.4 as I incorrectly stated above.

You can look in your template's tpl_product_info_display.php for

<!--bof Product URL -->
<?php
  if (zen_not_null($products_url)) {
    if ($flag_show_product_info_url == 1) {
?>
    <p id="productInfoLink" class="productGeneral centeredContent"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_MORE_INFORMATION, zen_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=url&goto=' . urlencode($products_url), 'NONSSL', true, false)); ?></p>
<?php
    } // $flag_show_product_info_url
  }
?>
<!--eof Product URL -->

and make the following changes

<!--bof Product URL -->
<?php
  if (zen_not_null($products_url)) {
    if ($flag_show_product_info_url == 1) {
?>
    <p id="productInfoLink" class="productGeneral centeredContent"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_MORE_INFORMATION, zen_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=product&products_id=' . zen_output_string_protected($_GET['products_id']), 'NONSSL', true, false)); ?></p>
<?php
    } // $flag_show_product_info_url
  }
?>
<!--eof Product URL -->

Yup - that did it. I found the template_default version of tpl_product_info_display.php and from about line 211 copied:

<!--bof Product URL in default template -->
<?php
if (zen_not_null($products_url)) {
if ($flag_show_product_info_url == 1) {
?>
<p id="productInfoLink" class="productGeneral centeredContent"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_MORE_INFORMATION, zen_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=product&products_id=' . zen_output_string_protected($_GET['products_id']), 'NONSSL', true, false)); ?></p>
<?php
} // $flag_show_product_info_url
}
?>
<!--eof Product URL -->

I then pasted it into the Stirling Grand tpl_product_info_display.php at around line 260 to replace

<!--bof Product URL as per Stirling Grand -->
<?php
if (zen_not_null($products_url)) {
if ($flag_show_product_info_url == 1) {
?>
<p id="productInfoLink" class="productGeneral centeredContent"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_MORE_INFORMATION, zen_href_link(FILENAME_REDIRECT, 'action=url&goto=' . urlencode($products_url), 'NONSSL', true, false)); ?></p>
<?php
} // $flag_show_product_info_url
}
?>
<!--eof Product URL -->

Thanks to you both for your rapid and on-the-nose attention
