[FIX] Stats module causes Google to crawl many bad URLs

[rocky]

I noticed on the bug tracker that an important bug was just fixed in PrestaShop's stats module that causes many bad URLs to be crawled by Google. The solution is in the French forum.

I was sufferring from these bogus urls, have altered the files and will report back any difference

for info changes made were on a 1.2.5 install and installed fine

could someone translate it to us non french?

To temporarily solve this problem until PrestaShop incorporates a solution, just replace two lines in two different files.

Change line 80 of modules/statsdata/statsdata.php from:

$token = $blowfish->encrypt($tokenArray['id_connections'].'|'.$tokenArray['id_page'].'|'.$tokenArray['time_start']);

to:

$token = str_replace('/','STATS',$blowfish->encrypt($tokenArray['id_connections'].'|'.$tokenArray['id_page'].'|'.$tokenArray['time_start']));

and line 19 of statistics.php from:

$token = $blowfish->decrypt($_POST['token']);

to:

$token = $blowfish->decrypt(str_replace('STATS', '/', $_POST['token']));

Hi Rocky on 1.3.2 I have

    // Ajax request sending the time spend on the page
       $token = sha1((int)$tokenArray['id_connections'].(int)$tokenArray['id_page'].$tokenArray['time_start']._COOKIE_KEY_);
       $this->_html .= '

In mt statsdata.php. Will the fix work on tis versiona as I get odd Googles too!

Thanks Baz

I'm not sure whether it will work, but you can certainly try:

// Ajax request sending the time spend on the page
       $token = str_replace(/', 'STATS', sha1((int)$tokenArray['id_connections'].(int)$tokenArray['id_page'].$tokenArray['time_start']._COOKIE_KEY_));
       $this->_html .=

Hi Rocky - my statistics.php looks completely different - to example code - have attached, I presume I'd need to make changes in that file too? Bit stuck here :-(

statsdata.php

statistics.php
