Does anyone know how to do any of the following.
1. Stop from getting logged out of the admin panel (Solved) 2. Extend the default date range for "view all orders" 3. Remove the word "Included" from BTO items in admin panel (Solved) 4. Edit order confirmation emails (Partially Solved) 5. Make phone number required field on billing and shipping addresses (Partially Solved) 6. Make the comment box in 4.5 open by default so you don't have to click on it I know 1 is easy, but cannot find where to change this setting. Tried to put a Session.Timeout = X in the adminheader.asp, but it didn't seem to work. I have done 2 before but cannot remember what file to change. For 3, I have removed the word "Included" next to default BTO items in emails and the cart page by editing language.asp but cannot figure out how to remove it when viewing orders in the admin panel. 4. I removed the SKU from new order emails, but how can I make the area with the category name and BTO name wider so it doesn't line break on long bto names? 5. I figured out how to make the billing phone required, but how do I make the shipping phone number a required field? 6. No Idea Edited by Ludwig - 15-February-2012 at 4:27pm |

When you update an order there is a message with a typo: "If you have note already done so, use the "Check Real-Time Rates" to
obtain updated shipping rates, and then click on "Update Order" at the
bottom of the page to save the changes to the database."
That should be NOT instead of note... does anyone know where to fix this? I looked in languagesCP.asp it's not there. |

Hi Ludwig, Here are a few things addressing your requests below:
1. Stop from getting logged out of the admin panel
2. Extend the default date range for "view all orders"
In resultsAdvancedAll.asp, find:
Replace the "-13" with the number of days you want to go back to on the report. 4. Edit order confirmation emails
5. Make phone number required field on billing and shipping addresses
I had notes on this but lost them. I'll have this sorted out again in the next day or two and just edit the wiki for instructions. There definitely is an inconsistency here in that it's require if one goes straight to register an account, or if admin adds/edits a customer record: the phone field is required in those places, and in the latter situation there's a problem. 6. Make the comment box in 4.5 open by default so you don't have to click on it
Haven't had time to look at that one yet, but I agree that it would be the preferable default. It's been bothering me since 4.0, but I've just never had a moment it bothered me enough to go look into it.

Is there anyway to make the SEO friendly URLs end with .html instead of .htm?

Hi Ludwig, I don't really see what difference it makes, but you could do it by editing the following files in the /pc/ folder: atc_instprd.asp Affgenlinks.asp tellafriend.asp pcSeoLinks.asp

I edited all of them and while the .html shows up in the url preview on links, when you click on a product page for instance... you just get.
Invalid Path Character /store/pc/404b.asp, line 14 An invalid character was specified in the Path parameter for the MapPath method. I also edited the 404.asp file which had a .htm in it but I got errors before and after editing 404 file. |

The real question is.... WHY? Changing it makes absolutely zero difference apart from damaging your existing seo ranking by changing it!

SEO ranking won't be affected since this is the first time turning on SEO friendly URLs and I wanted to do it because .html is more common ending and it matches the rest of the html pages on the site.

D'oh! I can't believe I forgot to mention 404.asp -- the "input" side of it all.
I honestly don't see why this would be worth the effort, even with wanting to keep the extensions the same as with other pages. Honestly, though, who's really going to care? On the generation side of it all, I believe the file list I mentioned should be complete. So, as long as everything on the link generation side uses .html and everything in 404.asp mirrors that, it should work. The tricky part (or at least the part that would require experience) is with the trimming off the ".htm" parts of the process in 404.asp For example:
Instances of this procedure would need to be changed like so:

Thanks for all that, but maybe an even better way to do it... would it be possible to just put a "/" at the end of the url instead of .html or .htm? so it would be like: http://www.domain.com/store/pc/product-one-1p1/
It's about aesthetics, and it is quite important... SEO friendly urls are more than just about rankings, they also look nicer and cleaner. |
