@alwayspaws This says it all really. WHY this strange structure? Why not something that everyone can understand. Something like the OpenCart way

yep

Normally also in PS it is sent to the mail address you register when you install the shop.

No, I am aware where I can find info about them but still, it is a crazy system. I can't find one good reason for it.

My products come 3 times a week from the supplier via a xml feed. Unfortunately there is no Meta in the feed

I doubt that your shop images are there, I dont even have the image folder. I have img with a lot of subs where the images are

how do you know where they are?

The meta title I just copy from the name in the tbproductlang UPDATE tbproductlang SET meta_description = name But you need to know what you do. The same you can do with the description to meta description

No. Now the weird image system make trouble. If it was easy to find the old just delete it but not with PS

I do it using sql directly in the db seconds to add 6000

Strange. It has always been a PS problem but I thought is was solved because I have no problems with it

According to the tutorial from Google the meta title is the most important and should be unique for each page. Therefore I copy the product name to the Meta title field meaning it get unique

Still I have to create one meta description for each product. So I dont see the meaning

But the meta description should be unique for the product. What can the module do?

To add a meta description on 6000 products? I doubt it. My meta description is much longer.

From where? My short description is set to 1000 ¨because I put the description in the short description field

The problem is to do that when you have 6000 products to go through. But we find a way

Is it a good idea to use the short product description also as Meta description?

@yaniv14 Is meta description also useless?

Thanks it works very well! Just what I wanted. And everything that is free is recommended ;-)

I see in the DB that there is a field for keywords but it is missing in the SEO tab in BO. Is this a mistake or meaningly? I had a crawl from Google and it seems that is still looking for keywords

I paid half for the working one. But I have realized that much can be done in a simpler way by PHP. No nice modules in back office but anyhow I get from the supplier every hour a CSV file stock updates. It contains 2 columns, reference-nr, and quantity. I have an import module installed but it took an eternity to update the 5600 rows in the product table so I found a PHP script on stackoverflow that I adjusted a little and now run every hour by cron. It takes less than 10 sec to do the job and cost me nothing. I am very aware that not everyone can do like me but I hope that this forum turn out to be what it should be, a place where users help each other. To use PS forum for the same purpose is useless, no one answer There is room for all. But I think it is time to somehow have a system that evaluate the quality of the modules and themes. How it can be done I have no clue about. But this way I think that the developers can earn a little more money because the users are prepared to pay more for a high quality and tested module My 2p.

But in my case. I am interested in a module for XML import of products into the category tree. I find a promising one. I send my XML files to the developer together with a description for what I want to achieve. Is this possible? The developer quickly answers yes it is. I buy the module and find out that yes it import the XML, but all my 134 categories are now main instead of 7 main and the rest subs. Contact with the developer, after five days an answer that yes there can be a problem. you don't have another file, perhaps CSV. I answered NO After not hearing anything for 5 days I wrote and told the developer that because of lack of support and a module that can not solve my task I want a refund. I also wrote that I started a dispute on Paypal. After another few days, I got an answer that the refund request he would answer in the PS ticket system. I never heard a word, despite I reminded. When time was almost out to raise the dispute to a claim in Paypal I did that and also wrote the developer about it. He never answered, but 24 hours after the claim was made the refund was done. The developer never answered any of the emails from Paypal Could I do something in another way? I wrote to 3 different developers about their module with the same question, Does this work. The other two said NO. I finally found a working module in Denmark. If this had been a 5 USD module I would not have bothered, but this one was 150€.

@administrators Perhaps this should be in the Technical help. I am looking for where the table for the products list in BO is built. I know that the AdminProductController populate it but can't find where the table is built. I am experimenting with adding a column to it about profit margin for each product Spme of the developers might know

Are there any good statistics module around. The native one does not show any real figures and I dont want to use Google. I have a statcounter script in the footer but that means you need to open statcounter to see the statistics
