Alright Jon, you have wet our appetites. Can hardly wait!

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Wow. Looking forward to the release.

I am sure it will be another first class product from a first class developer.

All the best

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Other than the cool interface what changes/updates/upgrades will the new version have in store for us?

Also, pricing for previous owners?

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

I'm currently putting together a list of all the advancements.

The upgrade cost will be the standard $35.

Advanced modules will be available separately.

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

I think that Jon will delivery great value at amazing prices - as he always does.

Why so cynical of a company that delivers products that work and add value?

Looking forward to being a "new" customer of SmackDigital.com

Good luck Jon and thanks you for great mods and service over the years.

All the best

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

I think we have to say goodbye to WebsiteCM..... and welcome SmackDigital ;) Right?

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Yes sir!

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Should I stay up till midnight to see the new site, Jon. Or is the 21st going to be a long day?

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Will be launching about noon PST tomorrow :)

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

If anyone is up at midnight PST and wants to see the site they can PM me and I'll send over the link with shopkey but won't be able to purchase CDSEO v2.0 until tomorrow at noon :)

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Congratulates Jon on the update and the new site / branding.

Look forward to seeing the list of updates in CDSEO V2

If it is a good as V1 we are in for a treat!

just to sneak in a question will there be a feature where product / category updates will be automatically re-written in the new version?

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

For items without CDSEO values yes, with some quick file changes users will be able to auto-populate an item automatically as soon as the item is updated/added. Once a CDSEO value is added though it stays the same unless manually updated as SEO information - especially urls - shouldn't be changing all the time.

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Hi Jon,

Many thanks for the "key".

The new site is really really cool - I love it :-)

I look forward to "upgrading" to CDSEO V2.

Once again well done on a great site and all the best for CDSEO V2.

With kind regards from the UK

Always seems to take longer than anticipated no matter how prepared!!

SmackDigital.com is now open and CDSEO v2.0 is now available: https://www.smackdigital.com/x-cart-mods/

I've made a separate thread about the website as opposed to CDSEO:

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Hi Jon,

Cool redesign!

Was v2.0 upgraded so we can modify CDSEO values from X-Cart add/modify pages or do we still have to download the zip and modify? If we have to download the zip and do the mod are the instructions the same or do we need updated install instructions for v2.0?

Thanks!

Paul

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Installed the upgrade and most everything is smooth. Great look & feel, Jon. Question: I had been using a custom 404 file: skin/common_files/404/404_en.html. It no longer is the default - a page CDSEO Pro generates is presented. How do I disable this? What am I missing?

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Hi Paul, every CDSEO version will only have the ability to modify via the X-Cart admin section with the CDSEO Admin addon. The instructions are the same.

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

I'm not sure what version you upgraded from, but older CDSEO versions allowed you to specify a URL as a 404 and then redirected to that URL. This became problematic when PHP stopped registering the 404 header prior to the redirect, so CDSEO was updated so that a static page could be specified and that functionality remains.

Your options are as follows:

1. Create a static page in the X-Cart Admin Static Pages section, and configure your CDSEO settings to use that page.

2. Open modules/cdseolinks/cdseo_errorpage.php and put whatever content you want in place of the existing content starting with:


I recommend options #1 to keep the person on your store layout.

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Perfect. Thank,s Jon. #2 works like a charm.

Again, nice upgrade. (Our version was the highest available prior to upgrade).

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Is this working with Nginx?

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

NGINX isn't yet official supported, but the rule should be:


If you provide an NGINX test environment we'd be happy to evaluate compatibility.

I just migrated (complete new install) from 4.4.5 Gold w/ CDSEO 1.8 to 4.6.4 Gold with CDSEO 2.0. New orders tested out fine, but I have had no activity on my site since the migration.

I just realized, that the new 4.6.4 CDSEO settings for my products (keywords, metatags) were different than my 4.4.5. I had exported my 4.4.5 settings prior to the upgrade, and just imported those to my CDSEO Pro 2.0 on 4.6.4. and regenerated my sitemap and submitted to Google webmaster

My question. My upgrade was done 48 hrs ago. Have I totally lost my previous rankings, or have to start over? I don't see any unexpected robots.txt activity (I use the info generated by CDSEO modules plus a few other things), and my .htaccess appears fine. Is there anything else I can do other than 'wait' to see traffic?

Thanks for any ideas

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

It takes Google 2-3 weeks typically to index so definitely you wouldn't have lost your rankings. This also wouldn't be the reason for a lack of traffic.

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

I am 'trying' to upgrade to PHP 5.5, with a new encrypted CDSEO Pro 2.07 module and my IONCUBE upgrade failed, and I can't make the 'old' IONCUBE install work, and I can't get the new IONCUBE for 5.5 work.

Currently my store is closed, and I either need to 'uninstall' CDSEO and use Xcart catalog and sitemap, and create a lot of 301 redirects in my .htaccess, or keep my store closed (now been over 2 hrs) while I hopefully get IONCUBE working.

I understand the reason for encryption. Maybe, a 'backdoor' with a week expiration on the code that is 'unencrypted' could be made available.

CDSEO is my only addon (plus ezUpsell, but I can live without that for a while) -- which really impacts my store, if it doesn't work. If I go backwards to 'no CDSEO' -- it is very painful, if my store stays closed, while I create a lot of redirects, it is very painful.

Any ideas - ?

Thanks

Hi Peggy, I will update you in our support desk.

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Jon,

I got 5.4 IONCUBE working, so my site is back online --

Again, this is very painful, when it breaks -- though I do understand the reason for wanting / needing encryption.

Peggy

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Glad to hear! I realize Ioncube is a server component than can cause problems fortunately the majority of web-hosts take care of this for their clients. I would prefer not to encrypt code but feel it is necessary given my experiences over the last decade of selling software.

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Hi Jon,

I have installed Rich Snippets on CDSEO Pro V2.0

I understand it can take a couple weeks to be fully crawled.

My question is, if I have 191 Products and 8 categories (I don't have any manufacturers) -- how many entries should I expect on the Google WebMaster Tools screen, under Search Appearance->Structured Data

-WebPage
-Organization
-Breadcrumb
-Product

to know things are working as expected? Should I ultimately have 191 entries in "Product" category?

I can enter each of my generated urls from CDSEOPro into the "Structured Data Testing Tool.", and they appear to be generating the correct result.

Thanks

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Hi Peggy,

It depends how many applicable snippets you have, but you should end up with over 800 entries on 200 pages.

The crawl will take place over time and you should see the results steadily increase.

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Thanks Jon,

One more thing -- On the Google Webmaster Tools,

Structured Data > Product (markup: schema.org)

The Brand and Model fields are empty for all my products.

I can't see where I set these in CDSEO or in X-cart - am I missing something, or do I need to manually add these somehow on Google webmaster tools?

Structured Data > Product (markup: schema.org)

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

Hi Jon,

We recently upgraded to version 2.0.7 and added Rich snippets. Snippets module is all set up and tests out ok - however it seems to somehow disable itself every couple of days.

ie: we Tick the box to enable the module. Log out and log back in - still checked. Then if a come back in a day or two and check, the module is disabled (ie box no longer ticked)

Very bizarre indeed! Any ideas as to whats going on here?

Cheers Zane

deos cdseo supports x-cart gold plus v4.65?
reviews.php?productid=1
reviews.php multi sub pages
?

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

CDSEO supports X-Cart all versions 4.1 through 4.6.

It does not modify reviews pages. I personally don't like the way X-Cart does the reviews and recommend third-party solutions.

Re: CDSEO Pro v2.0 - The Official Thread - (Sneak Peak!)
 

pls recommend a third-party solution for product reviews, and tell us its advantages.
