    This is a good idea. Another thing you might do is add ask_a_question to the list ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php.

    Thx SwGuy

    I hadnt thought of using the Meta_tags.php file so will use both options on different sites and report back which work.

    I must be losing my sight, where exactly do you find the duplicate content report in the webmaster tools?

    Just tested both methods and adding ask_a_question to the ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP in includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php worked

    Adding Disallow: /*ask_a_question to the robots.txt file did not work when using a sitemap crawler as it included all ask_a_question pages associated with every product.

    Just a question, we have products in our website but for a specific product, the email must be sent to another email address and not to us? How can this be done? I tried modifying the module so that the "Ask a Question" link would not appear on that specific product but it is actually not working (I tried changing if (isset($_GET['products_id'])) to if (isset($_GET['products_id']) !== '127'). Either modifying the contact email address or just hiding the "Ask a Question" link would be fine. Many thanks for your help.

    The mail is sent in includes/modules/pages/ask_a_question/header.php. So you could check $_GET['products_id'] there before the zen_mail call and send it to the other person if appropriate.

    As an aside though, since this is your store, you might want to keep control of all inbound email and just manually forward it to the other person so you can control follow up.

    How do you do this?

    Hi All,

    Have an issue with one part link below allowing Ask a Question screen to come up but others not working and would assume that it would have to be a database issue.
    https://www.outdoorking.com/engines/...9-7023-100-018

    another part on eth same page will not load the Ask a Question. This was installed by someone else and as usual I am thinking is was done incorrectly as I have not touched the back end till now.

    This is one other product that is not working.

    Any asistance would be great because I have spent a quite a few dollars getting other people to do things and most of the time I get other issues when they fimnish.

    From what I can 'see', it's not the ask-a-question handling, it's whatever URL mangler you're using that isn't sending the item's products_id in some situations.

    It kind-of looks like one of those 'situations' is when the zenid is appended to the URL, like in your last example.

    This is the programe that is being used is and the same person installed both modules

    Ceon URI Mappings Manager

    Can it be corrected so that Ask a Question works correctly?

    I am not very happy on what the person has done the on the site and it appear to be very messy and hard to correct what he has done.
