I have xCMS 1.3.1 that is disabling itself on a 4.5.4 installation.
Is there a solution for this too?
Can anyone who's had this problem fixed post the solution?

Hi Paul,

The disabling of licenses is entirely removed in xCMS 1.3.1 and we haven't had anyone else report this issue. I'll be in touch via your ticket in the support desk to assist.

Must agree. Jon is quite capable as someone stated before. The only problem is: how to get his attention?

But if you manage to do it somehow, you are all set. No more problems with cdseo. I even got a free upgrade. Thanks Jon.

Quick explanation for people who use non-Latin-1 characters.

CDSEO Pro translates them correctly but only if you use "auto population" method to create urls. In this case all "weird" accented letters get translated into Latin-1 characters, eg. ć to c.

But if you try to manually enter accented characters into cdseo url field, they are ignored, eg. ć translates to nothing.
As Jon wrote to me: "When implementing custom urls, it would be expected that you would only use valid characters so the conversion isn't necessary."

This is a bit misleading and I believe should be better explained in cdseo installation manual. Could save lots of hair on my balding head.

Anyway, I hope it helps.

Thanks for the feedback. I will look at how we can better communicate that in coming versions.

I am currently working on many new features. If there are any requests, I would be happy to look at incorporating them.

No, this doesn't help. While it may explain current behaviour, it's not a useful behaviour.

I don't want ć converted to c or to nothing. In fact I don't want anything translated at all.

How would you feel if CDSEO translated select characters in the English alphabet to some other 'almost identical' character? Probably not too happy. Why should non-English users expect anything less?

There exists a standard for this, supported by all current browsers and web-servers:
http://www.w3.org/TR/html40/appendix/notes.html#non-ascii-chars
I gave an example of an URL encoded in this way in my posting in this thread a few weeks ago.

This standard is what I expect CDSEO to support.

Cheers, Robert.

Roband - it looks like you must wait a little. Here is what Jon wrote to me:
"I am working on a version of CDSEO with improved multi-language support."

Speaking from my experience, the guy knows what he is doing so you can expect something that will work.

Hi,

How did you fix this?

EDIT: FIXED - Method below for getting CDSEO and Adapt Template to work together:

In skin/adapt/js/adpat_custom.js
Change: path: 'skin/adapt/css/grid/', to path: '/skin/adapt/css/grid/', (line 6)

You will also need to search for 'skin/adapt/images/loading.gif' (I found it in two places) and replace with '/skin/adapt/images/loading.gif' so the loading animation gets loaded.

Thanks,
xgarb

Does this mod allow you to give every product in the store a unique page title?

So if I have a cd player for sale on my store, I can give it a unique page title like "Jim Bob's unique cd player - purple with spots"
