Re: blog for xcart vs xCMS?
 

We've identified this as a bug on some x-cart versions. To correct:

Open skin/common_files/modules/xcms/xcms_admin_entries.tpl

FIND:

{if $c.category_path ne ""}{$c.category_path}{else}{$c}{/if}

CHANGE TO:

{$c}

Thanks Jon - works perfect now O:)

Hi Espresso
We have just installed xCMS and are trying to find our way around it at the moment, you seem to be using the product really well on your website.
Just wondering how you got the link to the related product in your example, is it hard coded? We can't find a way of doing it in the software.
Thanks

Re: blog for xcart vs xCMS?
 

Real easy to do, once you created your entry, open the entry in admin and look at the bottom of the page for the section "Entry Related Products" and ad 1 product at a time. Enjoy

Re: blog for xcart vs xCMS?
 

Hey thanks for that - we had "Recommended Products" module turned off so the option to link to products was not displayed at the bottom. We can see it now :)

Jon,

I am interested buying this mod but I have 2 pre-sale questions

1. Can this mod be used on a template that is not x-cart template?

2. Can I add the news listing on a page that is outside of x-cart?

Re: blog for xcart vs xCMS?
 

1. It can be used on any x-cart template even if it is a third-party template or a custom install. Any .tpl file changes for which you have a custom .tpl file, you would just make the changes to your custom file instead of the default file.

2. You can query the database easily to display the information externally but it would take some customization.

Hi Jon - I installed this mod and have been using it - but the one problem I've not liked is every entry I have had was xcms_entry... - not a clean url. In espresso's example though he has clean urls - did I miss an update for this mod?
Thanks!

Re: blog for xcart vs xCMS?
 

xCMS integrates with our CDSEO module for SEO friendly urls: http://www.websitecm.com/x-cart-mods/cdseo-pro-x-cart-seo.html

Integration with default clean urls would require rewriting the way clean urls works which isn't practical.

Re: blog for xcart vs xCMS?
 

Using CDSEO Pro & xCMS together is the only way to fly! We also use Jon's Category SEO Map which really makes it easy for customers so see all our products.

Our December orders were up by 41.3% in number and 40.9% in sales over last year.

Thank You Jon!
