Jon, where are you? I fixed the CSV problem, apparently CDSEO Pro does not accept ; as delimiter and you need to use , as delimiter instead. You should really mention this or improve CDSEO Pro because when I upload a CSV to X-Cart to update product or anything elso it works fine. Anyway, a new problem and an urgent one:
I found that when a category has " P" (spaceP) in its name you get a page not found error, I suspect it has something to so with the problem mentioned earlier in this thread. I tried adding the "WCM - Modify _p urls" code to cdseo_config.php but this doesn't fix it or I'm doing something wrong. This is a serious flaw in CDSEO Pro and my enthusiasm about CDSEO has dropped a lot to be honest. When I reported the problem with the CSV file to WebsiteCM it took them 4 days to respond and then their answer was wrong. They told me my CSV was corrupt, yeah right...
Sorry to be so harsh Jon but it's unacceptable to have to wait days and days for help when you're running a live website. And these CSV and _P errors are not something you would expect to encounter in a recommended X-Cart mod.. Another thing that bothers me is that you charge money for updates of the software. I bought the last update, 1.3.6 I believe it was, for “bing.com” support and paid $35. I bought the update because I thought maybe it would fix my CSV problem because I got no support but it didn’t work. Anyway, I think you shouldn’t charge money for such a minor update. Support for new search engines should be something that all your customers can benefit from, without having to pay extra.
Anyway, as you can read I am frustrated. I hope everything is ok with you Jon and you have a fix for my current problem. Look forward to hearing from you, until then I would not recommend CDSEO Pro to others.
Edit, extra:
I found that the problem with the page not found error also happens with categories that don't have the -P in their name. We sell projector lamps and I include the codes of these lamps in the URL. When the lamp contains -P in its name the problems also happens, the following link for examples don't work:
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Fujitsu-LPF-C211-lamp-LPF-P767.html?&manid=2850
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-PX10-lamp-LMP-P202.html?&manid=6150
And these, for example, do work:
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Fujitsu-LPF-D711-lamp-LPF-QLD1WW.html?&manid=2850
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-SC60-lamp-LMP-600.html?&manid=6150
Edit 2:
I have done more research and I think I have narrowed down the problem; when the URL
ends with Pxxx where the xxx stand for a random number, the page cannot be displayed. Not sure where this problem comes from, but check these examples:
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-S500-lamp-PK-PJ500.html?&manid=6150 (works)
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-FX41-lamp-LMP-P260.html?manid=6150 (page cannot be found)
I can fix this problem, for now when I do an export in CDSEO Pro and replace every -P with P but it's not a pretty fix. I am also thinking of making every URL lowercase, I read that's better for SEO purposes. So, it might be that the links I posted will not work anymore because I will have fixed/worked around the problem myself
I will for example change:
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/Sony-VPL-PX11-lamp-LMP-P202.html?&manid=6150 to
http://www.qualitylamps.eu/sony-vplpx11-lamp-lmpp202.html?&manid=6150
Any thoughts on this highly appreciated of course.
