Dynamic Price Updater

[diamond1]

Spiders have to see the exact name of the link as it has always been, I would like an expert SEO opinion as to what impact will this url do not bring anywhere? Also, it is not possible to know where visitors are, what page they are visiting, of course, who is online is just about to know what the visitors are doing.

by doing local tests I noticed that on some products I get this kind of warning

another thing I noticed is that the DPU needs this file jscript_jquery.min.php to work, then it is not part of the package.

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {
    document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.10.2/jquery.min.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
}
</script>

Based on the above, I have to ask why have you either disabled zcJS or modified the DPU code not to use it although it has been recommended by the core developers to use zcJS and at least the associated ajax.php file?

Did you also happen to notice that the reference used there is to load it over the Internet instead of from your local fileset? How would such a set of files be included? Besides that, there has been a statement made by the ZC software moderator that such files should not be included in the package itself as using any recent version of ZC automatically includes such a file. Further the script operates such that it only attempts to load the associated file if one hasn't already been loaded, this way there should not be any conflict by loading this plugin in conjunction with any other that is up-to-date.


If anything, I'd say that what has been pointed out is that likely the reference to the version is a little dated, though I doubt it plays a factor as a result of the above.

If you are looking for a specific answer to a specific question (even though in this case it was brought up as a result of this plugin) I would suggest initiating a new thread about the use of ajax.php and it's relationship to SEO. Then to provide a link here associated to that for interested readers.


As far as SEO "seeing" the link as it always was: what you see in who's online is data associated to what ZC has collected about the navigation within the software/site. It is not necessarily what a search engine sees. Though a search engine may put together the javascript parts to attempt to replicate performing the same action as a user. For this plugin, the effect is a change to the page/product price not necessarily "new content". There are ways to advise to the likes of google the variations in price unrelated to the operation of this plugin through the use of micro-data which is a discussion for a different thread.

First of all thank you for what you do for our community, I do not understand well I apologize, I have to translate in French with google and that's another thing. I have the original dpu files what do you mean zcJS disabled?

the file did not sit in the zencart distribution I added because in test version 1.5.4 was the only file I had in and where dpu worked and if i removed the jscript_jquery.min.php file DPU it does not work.

Yes for the rest I can ask in the SEO section however you should see in whois online the visitors where they are but you do not have to have the whois online in zencart

So a couple of things. On my side, I apologize to all for assuming that the site in question was a ZC 1.5.5e site based on the current tagline which states so. (future readers, this tag line may be different and therefore any posts by the OP stating to see the tagline should be taken with a grain of salt). Secondly for not asking directly which version was involved.

That said, ZC 1.5.4 comes with the same or similar jscript_framework.php file as in ZC 1.5.5 in the folder includes/templates/template_default/jscript. That file, when incorporated with the current template will provide zcJS which is preferred over the included/legacy XHR that was kept with this plugin for compatibility and potential of others having built on it.

Also, it was pointed out aboutthe jquery file not being included (whether in whole or by "reference". Looking through the file structure, it is not present as identified, though there was a bit of a language barrier issue/misinterpretation on my part. I thought the concern was not having provided the referenced file. The concern was that there was nothing that ensured that jquery (or rather javascript) was loaded.

So, from that short discussion there are improvements available to be made to the instruction to cover these two topics and possible an "alternate" folder to provide the loading of jquery if something is not there already.

So, on the issue of the pop up message. It occurs when zcJS is not used, the enquiry to the system is complete and the status response is not 200. It could be a response of no change or some other result. To identify, would suggest monitoring the network traffic through the browser and noting the response that occurs when that message is presented. It may be something to "catch".

As to the data in who's online... this plugin with the unique data that is at the beginning of the displayed url identifies that the visitor is looking at a product. Then with the provided modification, the pertinent data such as the products_id (unique identifier) and if present the category is provided. Therefore, one can tell at least when/where such info is made available what is being looked at. Generally speaking, any product type (main_page=PRODUCT_TYPE_info) could be substituted to see the actual product if it was not familiar to the admin.

Hope that helps.

DPU is installed both in zencart 1.5.4 and in zencart 1.5.5 as in the signature, the problems are identical on the two distributions of zencart 1.5.5 and 1.5.4, I also noticed that if there are no attributes the price remains zero . someone can tell me if he has installed DPU and that he has no problems I can give me a link. I also do the prose both locally and online when I can for a few seconds and the errors are both local and online.

[diamond1]

for the fact that if there are no attributes the price and zero I already had time to tell it but I did not have an answer
