What is the exact url?

I would advice to recheck the whole installation, get the newest version and upload all the files again, clean up cache. There seem something wrong with your current installation.

Hello,

Im already using the latest version from your site. I also tried clearing up cache but that didnt change anything. I will try to upload the files and clear up cache again and hopefully it will be fixed. Do you think this will also sort out the problem with the Ajax Banner Swapper or is that another problem?

Thx...

This, I believe, has been addressed in a post, with the code to change & to & also posted. I will put it into the new version later. This is a warning and will in NO WAY affect your site though.
Sorry I cannot foud, can you kindly tell me roughly when you posted:blink:

Hi there,

You have not let me know the exact url causing the prblem (going to the wrong url), so I'm not sure what is going on there.

Regarding the Ajax banner, I see the content is returned correctly with the ajax call, so Im not sure why the module doesnt interpret the returned result correctly. My best guess is that this ajax module hardcode the link somewhere, since it doesnt work with both SEO module you installed. Your best bet is to post in this ajax module support thread and see what the author says. As you can see, other javascript module works just fine with SSU, you can see we also have an ajax banner here (not the same ajax banner module), and it works just fine:

Hello there,

If you go to this url http://www.animeheavens.co.uk/shop/figures and click on Figures & Collectibles - M, it will redirect to http://www.animeheavens.co.uk/shop/anime-dvd-a/apolice/apolice-dvd-complete-box-set-eng-dub instead of the figures category. There are several of these on the site and im starting to worry if people are not seeing the right products. I have already reuploaded all the files and cleared the cache but still the same.

For the banner swapper, the author doesnt seem to support the thread anymore. Does the banner swapper in eazy-templates.com available for download or commercial release?

Thx...

Let me know more about your site structure, apolice-dvd-complete-box-set-eng-dub --> where is this product located? Under which category/sub category?

Do you use Easy Populate to edit your products and categories?

The banner swapper on ET is neither free or commercial, it is not published yet.

Hello there,

"apolice-dvd-complete-box-set-eng-dub" is supposed to be under DVDs - Anime DVDs A. But the thing is, the whole DVDs category are turned off so it really shouldnt be viewable. We dont use Easy Populate on any products or categories.

Also, when you go to this url http://www.animeheavens.co.uk/shop/english-manga and click on English Manga M, it redirects to a product. So this problem happens on quite a lot of categories all over the site.

For the banner swapper, will it be published?

Thx...

Do you use easy populate? I suspect your master category ids list might be messed up for some reason.

No..i dont use easy populate..

Try this: go into your setting, turn off auto alias and alias, then clear all cache, and see if these new links do work correctly (just for temporary checking)

If they do, well then we can narrow down there are something wrong with the aliases, then we have to go to your alias manager and delete all alias, then enable alias setting again and clear cache.

If not, then we know it has nothing to do with alias. we will have to look into the database and see how the particular product is linked. There are two 2 tables to look at: the products table with the master_categories_id field and the products to categories table

Turned off alias, cleared cache but still same problems. How do I go about checking those tables? and what should I look for?

use phpmyadmin, you need to check the master categories id of the specific product, see if the category id is what it is supposed to be. Also check the products to categories table and see if the product is linked to a category, and if it is is it linked to the correct one.

Checked both product and category IDs and both are correct and linked correctly.

huhm, interesting, I will need more access to investigate if you dont mind. I will need temporary login to both your ftp and admin, which you can pm me. Without more access all I can do is guessing since I have never encountered such problems before.

Sent you details for temp login

Let me know when you need to know anything else. Thanks...

What you can do, is to try replacing all & by & using str_replace at the end of the function ssu_link in that same file, something like this
$link = str_replace('&', '&', $link);

Do it right before
return $link;

Just a note, I have not checked it yet, so use t your own risk. I will look into this issue more carefully in the next version.
is this the right one?,but I try it , it not works
do I have to do some other midification?
