Moving oscommerce to zen and possible issues

[yellow1912]

My store is an adult store with some images not appropriate to minors, so I have the entrance with that info and that they must be 18+ to enter. Covers my ######## and keeps some out who shouldn't be there.

Like I mentioned, the same seo mod is available in zen. So wouldn't the links generated remain the same?

OSCs version puts hyphens between the name, ZEN doesn't.

I believe Ultimate Seo can automatically redirect from old name to new name?

How would it know the old name though....

[yellow1912]

It only cares about the product/category ids in the url, not the names. So if the ids stay the same, it will know.

That's a relief...funny, I thought I posted this response. Must have forgotton to take my meds!

Yup, you have to turn on force redirect or something in the admin setting. And Im not exactly sure it's in version 2.x or 3.x (either one, forgive me since I used this module only once long long ago)

It's working by the way. URLs are exactly the same...I'm so psyched! Great mod!

I've got this mod almost to work.

<?php
// product_info.php
// osc direct product link convert to zen-cart product link
// this assumes that the product ids did not change form osc to zen

   header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
   header('Location: http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=' . basename($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']));
?>

Skip

My osc url is:
http://www.mysite.co.uk/catalog/prod...roducts_id=882

and it redirected to:
http://www.newsite.co.uk/catalog/ind...s_id=dcfdcd882

Somehow it added dcfdcd to the product_id otherwise it work.
Any idea of how to solve this?

I just spent all day finding this. This product_info.php redirects properly when migrating from OSC to zen
