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

It seems to work. Thanks for the tip

I have downloaded it and will test.

The problem is that it will be a no priority feature and every day without the module we break the law.

If you look in the addon shop they sure differ. both in price and other things. I just want to listen before I buy one. Perhaps not all work with TB either

Everything is not black and white ofc but after a couple of fights with developers over not functioning but expensive modules I am frustrated. Just yesterday I finally got money back for a 150 € module that did not work as said. No reply what so ever from the developer after I bought it. Very talkative before. I made it a dispute on Paypal, the developer did not answer anything, then the day before yesterday I raised it to a claim and Paypal got involved. Even if Paypal is not very good at solving problems with digital goods this time it took 24 hours before the full amount were paid back and the claim closed I can understand that 2 parts must make money out of the modules but still prices are still crazy sometime. So nowadays if the task can be solved with a php script I rather pay for that directly to a developer and get exactly what I need and not a lot of extras. There is a LOT of very skilled developers out there.

I don't ski so not any need. I have lived abroad for 20 years in different countries but now we stay here.

That is how a forum should work. We help each other if we can

Asked before but no reaction. Which cookie law module is the best? Some of you must be from EU?

@MockoB I live in Cyprus. I have 500 m to the beach. There is 10Mb Internet there. I have a tablet. I can do all that you can do but on a more comfortable screen size. Still my 10 y.o Nokia E51 fill its purpose to 100 % ;-)

My customers have no need and don't care about the quality. Anyway, they are very aware that the old saying that pictures don't lie is not true anymore. Anyway, I have worked with computers long before the PC and DOS era. I have watched the crazy hunt for performance. Not from the company world, if they could decide, we would have much simpler computers today. The hunt is led by the gaming industry and to some extent also the mobile platform industry. But believe me, the mobile phone industry would love to be able to make simpler phones and not have to chase performance because it is very expensive. I have no smartphone, why should I. I use the phone for what it was developed, to make phone calls. What people that must have the latest model all the time forget is that we now have devices that already is better than the human eye and brain can see and interpret. We just feed the industry. its like with cars. My first cars would make 300000 km without a problem. That is not possible today because people must change cars to make a profit for the industry so the cars are meaningly made to last much shorter time. Rant over

But OK where are these pictures needed? What customers see the difference or bother about the difference? My customers buying RayBan sunglasses or industrial machines or cleaning equipment or.... they don't bother.

I have no rush. First shop is now alive with TB and works fine

I really hope that that is one of the things that is cleaned out

Its interesting if something that has to be filled in but is not dont warn the user and disable save button

I dont know but I think if you dont fill in any name it will use the main category name
