X-Cart forums - product url

X-Cart forums (https://forum.x-cart.com/index.php)

- Changing design (https://forum.x-cart.com/forumdisplay.php?f=51)

- - product url (https://forum.x-cart.com/showthread.php?t=40197)

How do i change the default "product.php?productid=" url to like "itemname.php" or something more search friendly?

By buying a mod - there are three to choose from:

www.safetynetweb.com - DSEFU
www.phpsitesolutions.com - XCSEO
www.websitecm.com - CDSEO

When i paid for x-cart pro it was under as included. Is this not true?

Well, yes and no. There is an html catalog feature that creates static html pages of each of your products - but it is cumbersome and requires you to constantly re-generate it. You also have zero control over the name of the url. The add-ons I mention above are much more robust and well worth the money IMHO.

hmmm :( ok how about this one. where is the admin part for the multi vender settings. I dont see where i can place where we charge a 5% fee for every sale made.

I'm sorry, but I don't use Pro and can't help you with this question. You will be better off posting a new thread with this question, as it has nothing to do with this thread.

MasterGuru, you can install XCSEO Basic, which is free, to avoid having to pay anything extra.

Is there a way i can change it from html to .php the urls?

Hi Master, that means you missed a step. Users usually forget to either apply the patch file (or if they try to apply it, they don't follow it through until they see the "Finish" button). The other thing users often miss, is running the installer.

If you can't get it figured out, contact me via email (in my signature).

Cheers

Qualiteam created a mod for us that does this and other advanced billing things, by creating a credit balance system within the provider interface and enabling the ability to specify a per item and % commission to be taken from the credit balance when products are sold. You might want to speak to them about it.

Feel free to advise them to refer to the spec they did for Advanced Billing for Craft Fetish.

What is the website where it is installed to see if it is like what we need.

Just a thought, pixeldust, once you've had a project completed for you by Qualiteam, you own the code, so you could actually request patch files of all changes (if you don't have it already), and then sell it or give it away yourself.

At least, that's my understanding, might want to double-check with Qualiteam.

My site is not yet live. Here is the C&P of the project spec:

Quote:

Project:
1. We will add the page in the admin area where commissions per added product and per sold product will be defined. It will look like this:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Commission per added product (in currency) [___________]
Commission per sold product (in %) [___________]

["Update"]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

2. Provider will register as it is now. When confirmed provider is logged in, he will have "Your Balance" page.
On this page provider will see nis balance. When he registers, this amount will be 0.00 by default.
Provider will be able to pay for to increase his balance.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Your balance: {current balance}

Bank deposit (not approved) balance: {sum paid by Bank deposit but not approved by admin}

Increase balance:
Bank deposit: [0.00]
details: |______________________|
["Pay"]

Paymate: [0.00]
========fields for to fill CC info===========
["Pay"]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So provider will be able to increase his balance. If he pays with Paymate background gateway and transaction is successful, balance will be increased by defined by provider sum.

If provider pays with Bank deposit, then admin will have to approve it before balance will be increased by defined by provider sum. It is described below.
So provider will define the sum for to increase balance himself.

3. On the provider profile page for admin we will add "Balance" box. This box will look like this:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Current balance: {current balance}

Bank deposit (need confirmation):
{date} {details} {amount} [{amount}] ["Approve"] ["Delete"]
{date} {details} {amount} [{amount}] ["Approve"] ["Delete"]
{date} {details} {amount} [{amount}] ["Approve"] ["Delete"]

Increase balance:
[0.00] ["Add"]
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So admin can:
- see current balance of provider
- approve Bank deposit payments. By default admin approves sum defined by provider. But admin can change it.
- Bank deposit (need confirmation) contains the list of the sums which needs confirmation. Admin can delete Bank deposit line (which need confirmation).
- "Increase balance" offers to admin to increase balance of a provider manually.

4. If balance is 0.00 or less than 0.00 for a provider, provider won't be able to add new products (import too), but will be able to manage existing products.
Provider's products won't be shown in the customer area.
So as soon as balance is 0.00 or less than 0.00, products will be hidden in the customer area (if customer's cart ocntains provider's product, it will be deleted). Provider and admin will receive email notification about it.

5. If balance is more than 0.00, all current features will be available for provider.

6. When provider adds new product (manually or with products import), defined for this commissions amount will be deducted from the balance.

7. When customer purchases provider's product (when order is paid), defined commissions (% from the original product price) will be deducted from the balance.

8. We will add "Balance statistics" page in the admin area. On this page admin will search statistics by the following parameters:
8.1
- date period (date fields FROM - TO)
- provider (multiple selected box with providers list)
- type: added products and sold products radio buttons

Results will be shown in the following format:
provider_____commissions of selected type for selected period

8.2
- date period (date fields FROM - TO)
- product (multiple selected box with products list)

Results will be shown in the following format:
product_____commissions of product for selected period (for orders)

Note: Paymate gateway will be integrated in separate project.

But that seems to state the opposite to me. Might start a new thread.
