Bug - The friendly URL field (English (United States)) is invalid

[flyclothing]

First of all, can you only report bugs in the french forum?  I looked through the list and didnt see a section in English.

 

We did a product import and I realized several products and categories arent being imported properly because we use the "&" symbol.  When you click on the product page, you get a 404 page because a friendly URL cannot be written. 

 

Example.  http://184.154.6.200/72_hera-designs

 

We have several products and categories that have the symbol "&" but cant use it because Prestashop doesnt recognize the symbol.  The import does seem to work because we can see product information in the admin, but a page is not being created.

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

hello

 

what prestashop version you use?

 

i moved your topic to other forum section (you created it in section related to IP BOARD FORUM SOFTWARE)

[flyclothing]

PrestaShop™ 1.5.5.0  I am also using the ImportFast mod.

[vekia]

under preferences > seo & urls - option: "Accented URL" is turned on? if not, try to turn it on.

the same with "Disable apache multiviews" option under the same tab  - try to turn it on

Thanks for the response.  I changed those items and still seems to be getting issues with products showing up and now I cant seem to get images to upload manually through the product upload section.  I am getting this error: An error occurred while copying the image.

This issue is (with error related to copying image) probably reported on forge and fixed, solution:

Open - Classes/Tools.php

 

Change line number 1408

 

From:

"return @copy($source, $destination, $stream_context);"

 

to:

"return @copy($source, $destination);"

 

It should work, it is a small bug in prestashop 1.5.5

Thank you.  I'll give it a try and hope it works.

[vekia]

i hope so, this is little bug in new 1.5.5 version and it is already fixed on forge

Will manually changing the code affect my ability to upgrade "easily" with 1-click in the future?  I used x-cart for 12 years and manual updates always affected your ability to upgrade easily.

[flyclothing]

That small change in the tools wouldnt have affected the ability to save manufacturer product images would it?  Suddenly I can change manufacturer images.

i checked it and it works well, code that i pasted above is a part of forge, so it will be included in the nearest updates of the prestashop engine

I couldn't find it reported on the forge and it not updated via Github. vekia, were you able to figure this out from the forge or github? I would appreciate a link to confirm this fix is valid and will be included in the next version.

I have been having the same issue:The description field (English (United States)) is invalid. I have tried all of the options you listed and it still gives me the error message.  I have tried to embed an Iframe on the Html code of the description, that did not work, then I tried to just put the link in, I keep getting the same message.  So darn frustrated with this shop, I'm considering scratching the whole thing and going with something else.  I have not even been able to launch to my server due to this.  I am using a local host to design.  Please please if you can help in anyway.  i called Presta shop direct and they want me to spend $399.00 for help.  Don't have the funds right now, that's why I'm developing a store to make money.  I am a distributor for Garden of Life Vitamins and need this store to go online.

1. You need to list your version

2. Try the options/answers above

 

They worked for me.

What version are you using? If you are using 1.5.5 there is an option under Preferences/General that you can allow html fields in an Iframe.
