    Works fine for me:

    image.png.4d3a4d6692d5c0218ef172fca61c9393.png

    However, I'm running on 1.1.x -- so maybe that's the difference. And, of course, if you modified routes for other pages, that can make a difference as well.

    This is odd...
    I'm running TB 1.1.0 and haven't made any other SEO Route changes...
    If I use {tags} instead of manufacturer - it works. Weird.

    But as soon as I use {manufacturer:/} it breaks... Even though the manufacturer exists and the path looks correct in the address bar.
    Eeek...
     

  2. Hi

    Interesting that this doesn't handle multi-language. I understand your frustration. In my case, the problem was that it wouldn't update the feature on CSV import, it would keep on adding values to it.
    Hence the 'solution' above that effectively nukes the product features every time there is an import and replaces the features with the new ones specified in the CSV import.
    Impact on multi-lang wasn't even a thought...

    I guess my question to you is: is the reason you were looking at this post because you were using the free module "Advanced Feature values" as above?
    Because the reason the CSV import would add and not replace feature values is because of the functionality added by this module.
    If you're not using this module, then the modifications above are not necessary - and could possibly cause unnecessary headaches.
    Anyway, I know this is an older post, just thought I'd provide some feedback.

    Confirmed - this works. Just be careful not to start at the top and work down like I have just done - because the first bit is about Prestashop 1.7

    Skip to this section: 

    Integrate Advanced search 4 module with Transformer theme v3 and Panda theme v1

    Interesting... so the download and run  "For_a4.php" file step is not necessary if you're running Panda v1 for 30Bz?

  4. Hi Jonny
     

    I've tried the module and it works awesomely! Just a few minor fix suggestions, if I may?

    • When you get a sec, maybe rename the module name from "Prestashop 1.6 / 1.7" as this one is for TB only?
    • The screenshot on the module page is extremely small - and it's easy to miss the &&
    • Update the 'code to add' to
      && !isset($route['params']['fc'])

       

    Excellent support, really awesome... Once again: thank you 😀
    Also - thanks for providing this module for free - it has not gone unnoticed.

    It is definitely the lazy load on the category section of the theme. Disable that and all is well. 

    Hi Haylu

    Panda / ST Theme has a solution - I think prompted by your original post of the ST Forums.
    https://www.sunnytoo.com/forums/topic/lazy-load-of-images

    Solution:

    https://www.sunnytoo.com/13194/integrate-advanced-search-4-module-work-transformer-theme-panda-theme

    As I have as yet to install Advanced Search 4 - please may I ask you try to see if these instructions still work on your latest version?

    What is missing from  the TB blog module (not in terms of being wow  😉  ) ? I never used the panda blog.

    It's got a built-in slide show for one + caters for videos. Plus - it's visible to the Panda Menu system which is just so cool - because with TB Blog, you need to add the URLs manually (like static URLs) - not so cool.

    Plus it has: Featured Blog Articles (select from Blog Category + column and home page slider), Comments, Blog Search, Related Articles, Blog tags and more.
    It also has additional sliders and lots more styling and layout options available. I'm sure there's more - don't have time to compile complete comparison list at the mo.

    Yeah, I was worried this will be the case. The only way such module can work is by overriding Dispatcher class. And tb one is very, very different to ps16/ps17 

    I'm afraid your only solution now is to modify the module.

    Or wait if @Jonny decides to support thirtybees in his SEO module. I don't think that's very likely, thought, as thirtybees users already have this functionality free of charge in the core. 

    Oww.. that doesn't sound good. So it may have to be the TB Blog module then... which isn't all that bad mind you (imo). And thank goodness it actually has a decent one (thanks TB team).
    Just Panda is something else in general (in terms of being wow) + the Panda Blog and Blog functionality is pretty cool. 
    Still waiting for feedback from @Jonny and I guess we'll take it from there...

    Even if the module is compatible with tb (meaning you can use it instead of native url rewrite), you have to make sure this module can achieve the *same* url structure as you are using now for your products/categories/... I mean that all your current urls remains the same after you install the module. There could be few differences, so be aware

    Indeed - initially Jonny came back to me "saying just purchase the module", it'll work.
    Now he's just mailed me saying "So sorry, I installed the module on my TB demo site, it can't work fine, don't buy it."
    Lol - so now I asked him if he knows of a solution.

    Obviously @Jonny is welcome to join this thread discussion 😉

    This module at least mentions the blog posts. But I'm really not sure how well will work tb native url rewriting mechanism. It can work, but it might not work at all... You should ask the author first before making a purchase

    Thanks for the feedback guys. This is ST themes so it's Jonny and co. (Panda)
    I've asked about the native TB rewrite. Will provide feedback when I hear back from them.

    Let's agree to disagree here. This is not the place to discuss our believes in SEO.

    Wise words indeed and agreed. And Lol - another thing to add to the "let's not discuss list" at parties, next to "religion, politics, etc."

    And woahah! - the price and time to do this just seems insane. Thanks for checking that module...

    ST Themes recommended maybe this module - mind having a quick squiz at the features pls?

    I can confirm that ids in URL is not a problem, just an aestetic plus, you should contact support for Panda theme to fix it for you, as it is a purchased licensed product.

    In fact ids in URL can be a real plus when you'll change your blog system, redirections will be easier !

    Look, maybe from a technical point of view and from a developer's point, maybe it's not a problem.
    However aesthetics do matter and from an SEO / Marketing expert's point of view, it's a big deal.

    Also I've asked the Panda team - but so no solution so far. That's why I'm asking the TB community - to check if you guys maybe have a solution?

    Good to know, however lazy load is critical in improving page load speed (plus it looks cool) - so it needs to be sorted somehow before we can go 4.12.9.

    I don't suppose any one here know the fix for the Lazy loading issue? @Jonny

    Out of curiosity, why are IDs in url such a big deal for you?

    Friendly urls have zero impact on SEO. Google and other engines really don't care at all They are interested in content only. The only reason to have friendly url is type-in traffic. And be realistic -- nobody will ever going to type in url to your blog post into the address bar...

    Because it's bad SEO practice - especially from a human readable point of view and keyword techniques. It just looks unprofessional and untidy.
    And it's incorrect to say that it doesn't impact SEO - it does actually matter to Google and we've seen noticeable impact on the rankings as a result of page name / URL path names.
    Our company has a very strong SEO / Marketing department with years of experience, and research, and know what it takes to rank #1 in search results.
    They will not accept IDs in URLs... and with modern SEO friendly URLs there's no reason for them to accept it.

    I do have one client with Panda theme installed... I just upgraded it from PS 1.6 to TB 1.1

    For the blog side, they now use TB blog  and have no problem for URLs without IDs in it.

    I was referring to the Panda Blog - it's got more features than the standard TB Blog - which is one of the reasons we purchased Panda.

    Can anyone please assist with my original question:
     


    In the Panda forums there is mention of "Advanced SEO URL" to fix this issue - but I'm not sure about compatibility?
    https://addons.prestashop.com/en/url-redirects/19643-advanced-seo-friendly-urls.html?ab=1

    Also, is there another way or free module to remove the ID from the Panda Blog URL?

    As we've been spending bucks on Panda+modules+very expensive modules (here's looking at you Advanced Search 4 - €250),
    we're reticent to just dish out more. Unless it is absolutely necessary, a free module or code solution is preferred.
