Chemo's Ultimate URL's

Dreamscape:

How much time do you think I've put into bringing 3.0 closer to production so far?? Well over the 10-15 hours that a group funded (for which I am eternally grateful). So don't keep brining up this "we paid you" BS like I'm somehow still in debt to you.

I am not attacking you or saying you're indebted to me or anyone else. In fact I was one of your strongest defended when everyone was giving you crap on this forum about this mod.

The point is if you're going to say I am foolish to use something that you call public release (which is of no use production-wise), then what exactly have you released.

I guess maybe in the future you can say you need people to help you funding releasing a beta version and testing in for you, then there will be no unreasonable expectation.

You're right that this project would have cost $1,000s of dollars and we are all greatful for your contributions to this community. You're probably in the top 5 contributors on this forum whose code is extremely clean and someone who takes a great pride in the quality of their work.

We appreciate your work and contribution but that doesn't warrant being rude...when you start to use words like foolish, incompetent, that takes it to a different level.

If my host are incompetent because there is problem with installation/configuration with mod_rewrite, does that mean every developers that have contributed on this forum and have a bug in their contribution are incompetent? Absolutely not! Don't be so quick to judge others lest you will be judge.

If you're foolish enough to make the wrong estimation don't blame anyone but yourself.

An estimation is just that, a rough guess, not an actual or exact figure.

I'm through playing these silly mind game with you. For example, I love how you claim to be experiencing so many problems with the version 3 Beta, yet you have not reported a single one to the bug tracker. hmm... a bit odd.

If you really are having problems that you think may be bugs, then report them appropriately instead of coming into the community support thread and waiving your arms around wildly.

Hey folks, this seems to be getting out of hand.

It really is not my place to say this, so appologies for butting in, just felt I needed to.

It is so difficult not to fall out over messaging, there is loads of indicators missing compared with speech, please do not forget this.

I am sure both sides feel frustrations, and have valuable points. Arguements in public are messy, can you keep it private please?

Come on folks lets calm down, take a step back from your keyboards, take a deep breath, inhale exhale, stand up go outside and enjoy some fresh air. No need to take things personally. We are a community of like minded people working together to improve our quality of life via e commerce. Anything that is worth doing takes time. I think that Dreamscape has done great work in the past, so give him time and he will have the project up and running. I also understand that BlessIsaacola and other members have paid for the new seo url mod, but you guys also have to realize that programming is not an exact science and that launch dates are not written in stone. You guys are kind of like kids waiting to open their presents on
Christmas eve, as much as you would like to rip open the rapping and play with your new presents you are just going to have to wait till Christmas day.

Good I am done playing the silly mind games with you as well. I will let you enjoy your self gratification. Your arrogancy is well noted as demonstrated even in your comments towards the Zen Cart team in fixing this bug: http://bugs.smarterwebdev.com/view_bug.php?bug_id=19 Obviously, you couldn't just provide the bug fix without taking a jab at the Zen Cart team. I guess you know it all! Now let see if you can stop waiving your fingers around wildly.

In my humble opinion I think you should turn shopping cart sidebox on or enable shopping cart total in the header or somehow give your customer a visual aid if you're not going to take them to the shopping cart after they are done adding something to cart.

Apparent my item was added to cart but there was no way for me to know until I click view cart (which is okay just not customer friendly if there is no other visual aid).

Thanks :) I'll be taking this over to review now.

But, before I do; I am curious about the shopping cart. I see it at the top of the right-column, with or without the SEO patch, on both browsers. I know the top menu is not centered on IE, but after much tweaking thats the best we can come up with.

My current SEO problem is that when I go to check out I am redirected to https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr which is fine, except the session breaks, so they are simply dumped to the paypal login with no order details :(

This sounds familiar so I am scouring this threads history, but if you have any suggestions...

thanks :)

What do you currently have for session setting on the admin side? Are you using a dedicated or shared SSL?

My session settings are as follows:

Session Directory  	/home/fleshmet/public_html/cache  	 
Cookie Domain 	True 	
Force Cookie Use 	False 	
Check SSL Session ID 	False 	 
Check User Agent 	False 	
Check IP Address 	True 	
Prevent Spider Sessions 	False 	
Recreate Session 	False 	
IP to Host Conversion Status 	True

But I don't know about dedicated or shared ssl

IP to Host Conversion Status True

You currently do not have seo url activated on your site so it's hard to see the problem you're describing.

Just for giggles turn set Check IP Address to False, Recreate Session to True and test again and report back.

You also do not have SSL currently installed/activated on your site...you might want to do that first before run your tests.

Still the same :(

I've left the mod on for you to check it out :)

I am not able to get beyond http://www.fleshmetal.com.au/checkout_shipping because there are no shipping option available. I cannot even get to payment option to select a payment to see what the issue is. Paypal Express is also not enable so I really cannot complete a transaction other creating an account.

lol sorry, I think you caught me fiddling with it

ill find something else to occupy me for a bit :)

Oh well! I still cannot checkout so I am going to end my attempt to try and troubleshoot for you. Perhaps, you only ship to Australian residents and since my address is a US address I am getting stuck on the shipping page. If you want to provide me an australian address via pm, I can perhaps change my address to that an retest if I get a chance.

Doh! I completely forgot about that, I'm sorry I'm not usually so frustrating to help.

Dreamscape,

I'm going to take this opportunity to say that you have the patience of a saint. Thank you, and kudos to people like you.

I recently started a second site using ZC, and used the same the download file of the SEO URL mod as I did before. I believe it was the defunct v2.103.:frusty:

Needless to say, it doesn't work and I've moved on with the SEO URL's mod disabled.

I've spent all afternoon reading this thread and learned that V3.x was almost ready, a few days ago. I'm already at the edge of my seat with glee.

I'm going to develop on localhost until I'm happy, and then I'll never modify the site again. It's just to easy to $crew things up.
I'm not going to compete with all the PHP experts and offer up something I know nothing about; and so I do need to ask...

**is it soup yet? **

Where can I find it?
Will this be all I need to do to get the mod to reinstall itself after I paste the files into the appropriate folders?

 
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title LIKE 'Seo Url%';
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_key LIKE 'SEO_URLS%';  

Thanks for all of your efforts. It's good Karma.
~Zin

...and awaaaaaay!

Thanks Ryhn,

That's the post!
I ended up going back to that post and downloading the mod. I basically read the install instructions; and will give it a whirl tonight, after my day job.

Won't quit my day job. :no:

I am feeling a little more educated, and a bit more optimistic, ha!

Thanks again.
Have a great weekend and Happy Easter everybody!!
~Zin.

Are you sure your Paypal IPN is configured right both on ZC Admin side as well as Paypal?

Do you meet these two requirements?

**Port 80 is used for bidirectional communication with the gateway, so must be open on your host's router/firewall
*PHP allow_url_fopen() must be enabled
