X-Cart forums

[just wondering]

I'm using BCSE's Ad / Banner Mod. The Banners it displays are clickable so I can direct customers to a specific part of my or any other site.

However, if I click on one, I get the following error:

Warning: parse_url(/shop/ad_banner_click.php?banner_id=16&banner_redirect=http://www.simplywellpriced.co.uk/shop/1-penny-item-one-c-1-p-1-pr-30.html) [function.parse-url]: Unable to parse url in /home/uumlfvno/public_html/shop/modules/XC_SEO/seo.php on line 10

& then takes me to the item.

Any ideas why I get this?

Hello

Intel352, thank you very much for sharing your work. I have a small question: it is possible to have categories/manufacturers name included in product link, for example: http://www.website.com/category/product.html or http://www.website.com/category/manufacturer/product.html?

Thanks

I installed this, followed all the instructions but now it redirects all the products to html pages and gives me a 404 page not found error, any advice?

make sure you place your .htaccess file dude.

OK here is the .htaccess file that I added the two blocks of text to from the package. My store is in the root, my .htaccess is in the root.

uncomment: RewriteBase /

I had to do that to get rid of the 404's

Just noticed the redirect gone's. I'm using this!!

I have tried with and without the commented rewritebase but same both ways, which is why i thought it must be some sub directory thing, but root is root...

Those redirect gones are the same as mine - comparing them side by side in a spreadsheet, they look similar...

Took out the comments and removed these pesky single spaces at end of each line just in case, who knows, still no go.

I see from your post that the Manufacturer, category rewrite rule are missing.
