John - I need to modify a template (reBOOT) so that I can have the sidebar entry list like we did on our older versions. Not sure where to start looking.

Hi Jon, Nice to see you back! Have you tested CDSEO Pro on 4.6.0 yet?

Hi Carl, Try adding the following to the reBOOT bar.tpl

{* WCM - xCMS *}
{if $active_modules.WCM_xCMS}
{include file="modules/xcms/menu_customer.tpl"}
{/if}
{* / WCM - xCMS *}

Hello Paul - The stressed out kids are on the way north tomorrow morning....

I did try that with fairly ugly results. It is up there now if you want to take a look at it.

Would you have a suggestion as to what the best way to move the articles to the xCMS posts? Simply 301 the page? It would be great to keep the SEO.

Thanks again!

If possible it is best to keep the same urls. Next best solution is to keep the old urls active for a time with canonical link tags to the new urls and then 301 redirect after they are reindexed. Last best solution is to 301 redirect the urls immediately.

I've gone through 4.6 doing a comparison of every file change against 4.5.5 to see what exactly they've done and there shouldn't be any issues with CDSEO on 4.6. That said I haven't had a chance to test yet, will do so as soon as I get client work and support up to speed (sure wish X-Cart would provide notice of upgrades so I could set time aside for compatibility testing).

I don't recall how it used to look. Can you elaborate?

Hi, Jon,

Can't keep the same url, my old blog is on a subdomain and on a different platform (WP). Just did some more research but can't figure out how to use the canonical url which I imagine would have to be used on each page/old post to redirect to the new page/same post in x-cart.

I just noticed that on the category pages after I changed from the synopsis to the complete post, the posts do not have the related products on the category pages. Is there a way to add that? It makes it much more attractive.

Thanks again!

Hi, Jon,

Just thought of another suggestion for a feature. It would be wonderful to be able to insert a gallery of images in the posts.I am using Phil's galery mod. His mod works great too, it would be wonderful to join the two. It would mimic the Gallery plugins in WP. Just a thought!

Thanks again!

Hi Jon, I've already skinned xCMS to be seamless with the reBOOT template as I'm using reBOOT too. I'll contact Carl directly. Thanks for the 4.6.0 notes! Paul
