Ask A Question

thanks so much

hi , i used this mod,and i can see a few hopes for it.

1.hope all ask products meta were different (as: ask a question- products_name),but now it display all page same as:

<title>Ask a Question : Hikvision/DaHua Cameras and NVR| Brands name Handbags high heels shoes</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <meta name="keywords" content="Security Cameras Security Accessories Surveillance Video Recorder(NVR) DIY Customized Plant video surveillance lens Monitoring Keyboards Tote handbags& purse Shoes& Boots Clothes Belt Ask a Question" /> <meta name="description" content="Hikvision/DaHua Cameras and NVR| Brands name Handbags high heels shoes : Ask a Question - Security Cameras Security Accessories Surveillance Video Recorder(NVR) DIY Customized Plant video surveillance lens Monitoring Keyboards Tote handbags& purse Shoes& Boots Clothes Belt " />

so i hope it will get the tittle: "ask a question for products_name(get from products meta)"
keywords:"ask a question, products_keywords(get from products meta)"
description:" ask a question for products_description(get from products meta)"

page: http://www.targetmarts.com/ask_a_question?products_id=656 (http://www.targetmarts.com/ask_a_question?products_id=*)

2. i used Ultimate URLs ,so i hope the urls display as http://www.targetmarts.com/ask_a_question/products_url%28orproducts_idasp-*%29

hope get full help.
Thanks

But as time permits I'll look into what it would take to generate the desired meta data (of course anyone may post such a solution).

Part 2 is related to USU and should be addressed in the thread there as there this plugin does not modify the uri.

Even if using Ceon URI Mapping I would suggest the same, though it provides support for specifically designating uris and could be modified to auto-generate uri's for this plugin.

Hi, I installed the latest version on zencart 1.5.5, but in Configuration->E-Mail Options I do not see the plugin settings

Allow Guest To Ask A Product Question ...
Ask A Question Email To: ...
Ask A Question Name To ...

can you help me on what I can check?

Those options are no longer part of the plugin beginning in version 1.3 of ask a question. The ask a question page functions like the contact us page, except additional information is passed to the store owner related to the product being asked about.

An original installation of this plugin at this point does not modify the database.

thanks for the clarification :arrossire:

Do we think it is likely this plugin will function with 1.5.6? It is exactly what I require.

Yes it is expected as well it has already been merged with ZC 1.5.7 at least for general products. There are possibly some changes that could be incorporated into the header_php.php file to align more with the contact_us version of the file, but otherwise should work. Be sure to review the instructions.

Thank you. I have installed it and I can confirm it does indeed work with 1.5.6.

I have been having the same thought, but would a better option perhaps be to have it generate a canonical link back to the original product page to inform crawlers that the page has no importance, rather than generate distinct meta data for each page?

Does anybody have any idea on how that might be achieved?

I'm a recent user of zen cart: the "Ask A Question" mod is full page, but I would like to improve the appearance, insert the right (or left) column: how can I do it?

AAQ respects your sidebox settings like any other page. Not sure what you are seeing.

thanks for the quick reply, example: https://www.promoregali.it/confetti2020/ask_a_question.html?products_id=2709

That's your template. Check the common folder for customizations.

On a product page, under

<div class="container"> <div class="row">

you have

<div id="centercontent-wrapper" .... <div id="left-column" ....

On the AAQ page you have

<div class="container"> <div id="centercontent-wrapper">

and no left-column.

If you bought your template from Perfectus, you should go to them for support first - they will be the best able to support you and help.

probably Perfectus could help me, but as a new user I wanted to understand how it works for the future ...
I installed AAQ 2.2 on v.156C: I don't understand why it is not seen like all the other pages.
I come from OSC so for me it is also a mental exercise.
Thank you

Papanco, problem with commercial templates is that most people don't have it, and this is something that's most likely controlled from code in on of the template's files. You're probably looking for includes/templates/zenshopp/common/tpl_main_page.php and something about $flag_disable_left - it's usually enabled for all pages (false) and then you list pages where you want to disable it (true). But, the template author might have used a different approach and disabled it for all pages and then explicitly stated just a few pages where it IS enabled. This is just one of many possible reasons.
What I'm trying to say - it's really hard to get support for commercial templates here on the forums because we don't have access to that code so we can't know what was done or how it was done.

P.S. Hope you're safe, Italy's been hit hard...

To turn off sideboxes on a page, there are two approaches:

• do it by page
• do it by sidebox

These are both discussed in this help page:

Thanks balihr, I have to understand the rules of Zen Cart: sometimes it is difficult but then everything is understood thanks to the advice of the community.
Italy with Covid-19 is suffering a lot and we are slowly coming out of it: thank you, luckily I am fine but I have lost many friends.

ok, thanks: problem solved.
When will version 157 be ready? I have seen that it contains many interesting news and AAQ already installed
