Ask A Question

[sammahoney]

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?

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 ?
