Jon, just heads up, your site shows everyones modules and web urls, I would fix that ASAP. I tried downloading 1.8.8 but it wouldn't let me.

To anyone that is worried, don't. No one has permission to download/change/view any keys etc.

Open the .tpl files in the modules/Manufacturers/ folder in the skin directory and find references to:

Code:

"manufacturers.php"

And change it to:

Code:

"{$http_location}/manufacturers/"

If CDSEO Pro is not installed then will it work?

This module does not work well with page coding other than Latin-1 - looks like it does not fully support utf-8. It cuts out international characters making it useless for users using different languages on their sites. It should work as x-cart uses utf-8 now (I tried it on a fresh 4.5.4) but it simply does not. The code is encrypted in ioncube so it is impossible to change. Support is non-existent, I opened two tickets, no replay whatsoever. Plus I get mysql errors when I search for product (version 1.8.5). No support on this either.

My advice - if you use a different language for your store, stick with x-cart clean urls. This works fine and is free.

Ouch, and I was planning to use CDSEO on a fresh 4.5.4 install using UTF-8 encoding and lots of Norwegian category and product names.

What I was hoping was that for instance:
blЕbФrgrЬt

would be encoded into this in an URL:
bl%C3%A5b%C3%A6rgr%C3%B8t

so you're saying this doesnt happen, and instead we get:
blabargrot
or:
blbrgrt

Sounds like a showstopper!

Cheers, Robert.

Well, I am not sure how it would work in Norwegian but in my case it works like this:
blЕbФrgrЬt => blbrgrt. All national characters are cut out.

Now, for me this is not acceptable since it makes all urls unreadable and the whole concept behind friendly urls goes to...

not_so_young_greg · #**616** 12-21-2012, 02:21 AM

It actually should be easy to fix, just add some character mapping, but since everything is encrypted I do not know how it works and where to place the code.

Plus, I am not a php guru by any means.

There is a file called cdseo_translate.php with two lines of open code. First constains characters to be replaced, second replaced characters. But changing it does not do much for some reason. Maybe it would work in your case but I doubt it.

I have three open tickets right now with WebsiteCM. One ticket has not been resolved since October.

Jon,
will you please reply for ticket #RNG-987-46387 ?

I am not able to place the order at your site

masada3336 · #**619** 12-26-2012, 02:50 PM

Hi Jon, I've opened a help ticket as well, but just covering my bases as I haven't heard from you on that. I'm having this similar issue (CDSEO as weel as XCMS being disabled) for no good reason. You just installed it for me, so I have the latest version - any idea?
Thanks!

That's simply not true.

New Xcart 4.5.x defaults to utf8 for English stores. So if utf8 english works, no reason utf8 in other languages

ioncube encoding is a non-issue, since there is no reason to edit the code.

re: support this time of year -- gotta expect delays.

PS -- current version is 1.8.8

And finally -- I find Jon's support to be excellent. Maybe not as instant reply as many want, but once you are in Jon's line of sight, your issue will get resolved.
