Soliloquy

I've run into a snag migrating a shop from an old, buggy shopping cart software, and I'm not sure of the best way to go about finishing the migration. The old shopping cart was hell-bent on optimizing SEO, including the use of friendly URLs. It didn't have categories, product ID numbers, query strings, or file extensions in the product URLs, just: storename.com/product-name Categories were storename.com/category-name. The shopping cart also generated category pages based on color, price range, tags, etc., all following that basic format. The shop has between 1000 and 7000 pages indexed in Google, depending on how you look at it. (Oddly enough, 0 are showing up in the Google search console part of Webmaster tools.) I first tried to get the Prestashop URLs to exactly match the old ones, but the module I tried to use broke things and the pages couldn't be found. I then thought I would just get the URLs to be as friendly as I could get them and set up a ton of 301 redirects, but have been unable to download an entire list of the URLs; I've only managed to get 188 using these instructions. Also, I'm not sure what module I need or steps I need to take to generate those other pages for color, price range, tags, etc. Any advice on how to finally complete this without taking a hit in the rankings would be greatly appreciated!

In addition to the problem I posted about earlier today, I just discovered a new one: I added a accessory to a product, and when I went to view it found an error message underneath it. https://snag.gy/5BozwA.jpg Any insight on this may help solve my larger problem, too!

Every time I think I'm close to launching my PrestaShop, I come across a new problem. This time it started when I was testing out some things in the front end. I had some trouble logging in, so I reset and changed my password, added a few things to the cart, then logged out and tried to login again to see if it was still a problem. This time instead of a login error message, I got a white page saying: I turned on error logging and got some more information: There was also a HUGE array of values, which I don't think I should paste in here, except for the 1st part which may have a clue: (I'm not sure, but this problem might be related to another problem I've been having, which I thought was a problem with the theme until I ran into this. The theme I'm using has an "Add to Cart" that appears when you hover over the product image in the category listing, and it recently started giving me an error when pressed: I would appreciate any advice on how to get this straightened out. I promised my mom her new store months ago! :-(

Here's a copy of my Add to Cart button code, in case anything is wrong with it: <div class="cart-product"{if (!$allow_oosp && $product->quantity <= 0) || !$product->available_for_order || (isset($restricted_country_mode) && $restricted_country_mode) || $PS_CATALOG_MODE} class="unvisible"{/if}> <p id="add_to_cart" class="buttons_bottom_block no-print"> <button type="submit" name="Submit" class="exclusive"> <img src="../themes/pos_beestore2/img/icon/stroller-icon.png" /> <span>{if $content_only && (isset($product->customization_required) && $product->customization_required)}{l s='Customize'}{else}{l s='Add to cart'}{/if}</span> </button> </p> </div>

I've been working on that, but the second button hasn't been appearing. I think the problem is that my template uses a right-hand column, which is where I want the second add to cart button to go, but the code for the right-hand column is actually in footer.tpl. When I tried adding a second copy of the code to the appropriate place in footer.tpl, the code was visible in the source, but the button didn't show up. Then I tried moving the code for the very top of the column to the bottom of of the product.tpl file, with the code for the button underneath, but when I reloaded the page it was blank and all white. Maybe I'm running up against some sort of template conditional? That's why I thought maybe I had to create a module to do this. Any further advice appreciated!

My theme has the Add to Cart button pretty far down on the page, and because of customization options I wouldn't want to change that. However, I want to add a second Add to Cart button in the right-hand column, higher up on the page, for those who want to have the product to the cart without customization. I'd like it to be a different color as well. Do I need to create a custom module to do this?

Success! I renamed the module directories as instructed, and was able to enable the new template. It is displaying, but I'm getting a number of error messages that say: Notice: Undefined offset: 0 in /home/.../public_html/test/override/classes/Link.php on line 103 Do I need to do anything about this, or just turn off debugging mode?

I went to the Modules and Services page to see if I could fix this by disabling the blog, but got this error on the page where I usually get the list of modules: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BlogCategory in /home/.../public_html/test/modules/smartblog/classes/BlogCategory.php on line 149 [PrestaShop] Fatal error in module file :/home/.../public_html/test/modules/smartblog/classes/BlogCategory.php: Cannot redeclare class BlogCategory .

I enabled debugging mode and got this error: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class BlogCategory in /home/…/public_html/test/modules/smartblog/classes/BlogCategory.php on line 149 I'm running PrestaShop 1.6.1.6. I installed the template by uploading the zip file for it on the "Add New Theme" page. Pretty sure this isn't a compatibility problem because the site I bought it from says it's compatible up to 1.6.1.x, although they didn't specifically say 1.6.1.6. Thanks for your help!

When I try to enable a new template (by clicking on "Use This Template") the resulting page, which should be asking about modules to disable/enable, is blank. The template isn't changed in the front office either. I tried reverting to the default template and then installing it, but still got the blank page. Every other template I try works properly. And I made sure that the new template is for the version of PrestaShop that I'm using.

maybe this will be more your speed: https://addons.prestashop.com/en/combinaisons-customization/17415-customization-prices.html I need something similar, but just for one text field.

Thanks for your response, tdr170. The theme is "Water Kids & Children" from the add-ons store ( http://addons.prestashop.com/en/children-babies-themes/20986-water-kids-children.html ), and it lists compatibility with 1.6.1.4, the version I'm running. Reverting to the default template showed no errors. Going back to Water Kids and Children still has errors, despite making sure the modules were enabled or disabled properly. I didn't see anything in there about product.tpl etc. LinkCore->getProductLink - [line 78 - cache/smarty/compile/8b/af/f6/8baff6ecd1e166f80eeea335471668c12a55ae7d.file.productcomments_reviews.tpl.cache.php] - [1 Arguments] content_569f4227235249_67446037 - [line 188 - tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php] - [1 Arguments] Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->fetch - [line 308 - classes/SmartyCustom.php] - [7 Arguments] Smarty_Custom_Template->fetch - [line 2309 - classes/module/Module.php] ModuleCore->display - [line 772 - modules/productcomments/productcomments.php] - [3 Arguments] ProductComments->hookDisplayProductListReviews - [line 587 - classes/Hook.php] - [1 Arguments] HookCore::coreCallHook - [line 542 - classes/Hook.php] - [3 Arguments] HookCore::exec - [line 205 - config/smarty.config.inc.php] - [3 Arguments] smartyHook - [line - ] - [2 Arguments] call_user_func_array - [line 268 - config/smarty.config.inc.php] - [2 Arguments] SmartyLazyRegister->__call - [line 171 - cache/smarty/compile/5a/3d/6a/5a3d6ab7d9f1906fb3b1879ad7a48cfc42453d47.file.wtproductfilter_tab.tpl.cache.php] - [2 Arguments] SmartyLazyRegister->smartyHook - [line 171 - cache/smarty/compile/5a/3d/6a/5a3d6ab7d9f1906fb3b1879ad7a48cfc42453d47.file.wtproductfilter_tab.tpl.cache.php] - [2 Arguments] content_569f4226f3c0f8_23741046 - [line 188 - tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php] - [1 Arguments] Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->fetch - [line 308 - classes/SmartyCustom.php] - [7 Arguments] Smarty_Custom_Template->fetch - [line 303 - tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_template.php] - [7 Arguments] Smarty_Internal_Template->getSubTemplate - [line 45 - cache/smarty/compile/0f/e2/93/0fe293ecf6d719db68081a54b8a5c1c49e64eb26.file.wtproductfilter_home.tpl.cache.php] - [7 Arguments] content_569f4226ccb264_68259054 - [line 188 - tools/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_templatebase.php] - [1 Arguments] Smarty_Internal_TemplateBase->fetch - [line 308 - classes/SmartyCustom.php] - [7 Arguments] Smarty_Custom_Template->fetch - [line 2309 - classes/module/Module.php] ModuleCore->display - [line 550 - modules/wtproductfilter/wtproductfilter.php] - [3 Arguments] WtProductFilter->hookDisplayHome - [line 587 - classes/Hook.php] - [1 Arguments] HookCore::coreCallHook - [line 542 - classes/Hook.php] - [3 Arguments] HookCore::exec - [line 40 - controllers/front/IndexController.php] - [1 Arguments] IndexControllerCore->initContent - [line 189 - classes/controller/Controller.php] ControllerCore->run - [line 367 - classes/Dispatcher.php] DispatcherCore->dispatch - [line 28 - index.php]

I'm new to Prestashop and installed a (paid) template last night, but am getting a 500 server error "Oops, something went wrong" when I try to view the front office. I was thinking this might have to do with the list of modules that needed installing/disabling/changing that came up right after I installed the template; I definitely clicked Save to the list of modules that needed installing, but I'm not sure if that also agreed to the list of modules that needed disabling, and I don't know how to get back to that list. There's nothing in my server error logs either (probably because it did display an HTML page with the error). What should I try? Edit: Ok, I found the thread on 500 server errors and turned on the debugging. Now the error message reads: [PrestaShopException]Invalid product vars at line 106 in file classes/Link.php 101. if (is_array($product) && isset($product['id_product'])) {102. $product = new Product($product['id_product'], false, $id_lang, $id_shop);103. } elseif ((int)$product) {104. $product = new Product((int)$product, false, $id_lang, $id_shop);105. } else {106. throw new PrestaShopException('Invalid product vars');107. }108. }109. 110. // Set available keywords111. $params = array();

I'm new to PrestaShop and intend to develop my site on one domain, get everything working and tweaked, and then move it to a different domain (my current online store). I wanted to make sure first that there wouldn't be any issues moving the paid modules I buy... I can transfer any license keys to the new domain name, right?
