Such a simple problem, any help welcome

[christillis]

Hi All,

 

Sorry to bother you, but after someone worked on this website (http://www.elizabethkingdesigns.co.uk/category.php?id_category=8) The, "the Shop" module (second module down on the left column) isn't pointing to the content correctly and I'm getting a 404.

 

Can anyone advise me on how to change the link back please?

 

Thanks in advance,

 

Chris

hello, chris

 

I just saw your site and find the your site is not not seo friendly set and the store module url is given with seo friendly url to the cms content. So your url will work when only seo friendly url is set.

Hello smartdatasoft,

 

Thank you so much for the prompt reply. You are right that it is not set to SEO Friendly, it is something I was hoping to fix one day, but it seems that when it is enabled, the product images disappear. Is there a shortcut method I can use to make the 'the shop' link work? I do not normally prefer this method, but I just want to fix without having more things to fix first.

 

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello, Chris

 

For you i have dig on prestashop and find a solution

{$link->getCMSLink('7', 'CMSpage')}

here the first parramert you can put the id of the cms page, by using this tag it will work both seo and not seo friendly url, so you do not have to worry about which option is set.

Hi Chris,

 

this is because the link in shop module is a SEO friendly URL, but you didn't activate SEO friendly URL in BO. If you didn't modified the "Shop" module (I believe you didn't), then there is a bug in that module.

 

So you will have to modified the "Shop module" to shop non SEO url (when not activated), or simply activate SEO friendly URL (from SEO section in BO). After enabling this option, clear all caches.

 

I strongly suggest you activate SEO Friendly, it's really important for SEO...

Hello Smartdatasoft,

 

Thank you so much for digging. Pardon my ignorance, but where should I put the code? I'm not familiar with 'parramert' I'm afraid? Really appreciate your help!

 

Hi PrestaNinja,

 

Thank you for contributing too, it really is appreciated.

 

There is nothing I would love more than to activate SEO Friendly, but it has always caused problems. I'm hoping that updating the Presta install (currently 1.4.8.3) and upgrade the theme from the forgotten about 'Cave Plus' to 'Cave' will help in some way.

 

I'm partly glad that the 'shop module' may have a bug in it - it does seem that every time I return to this shop to make minor amendments, there's always something that's broken all on it's own - and I'm the only user!

 

Thanks again to both of you!

 

Chris

you've got probably wrong link in this block (it is created manually or via some module?)

just use http://www.elizabethkingdesigns.co.uk/cms.php?id_cms=8 there

Hi Vekia, thanks so much for your comment, I'm lost as to where to update/correct the url of the block, can you give me any ideas please?

 

Really sorry to bother everyone!

hello, chris open find the blockstore module

i think it is one

 

themes\yourtheme\modules\blockstore\blockstore.tpl and then you will find that code and put the code what i told you

Hi Smartdatasoft,

 

I'm sure that is not your real name

 

I located that file and changed the code, with no luck I also found the standard presta install version of the same module and tried to change the code there, and that didn't work either :-( I did not even break it. 

 

BUT...

I then enabled 'force compile' under the Preferences > Performance and 'hey presto', it is now working Once it worked, I disabled it again, like a good boy

 

THANK YOU SO MUCH FRIEND, I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP - WONDERFUL PERSON
