Hello,

I hate to ask but would one of the Moderators mind verifying if Inline SEO is working correctly. I have turned off Java and my site goes blank.

www. mysite . com The URL is intentionally broke up. (Sorry) Remove spaces in URL.

I normally use X-cart for my carts but thought I'd give ECWID a try. So far so good.

Thank you for your help with this.

Joomla 1.7
ECWID - Joomla Mod Installed
Lates version of ECWID

The way to see if your inline SEO catalog works properly is described here: http://kb.ecwid.com/w/page/25399581/...

In your case, the inline SEO catalog of your Ecwid store is working properly.

Thank you for the reply. Yes I had read the provided KB artical but could not see the text. I think the color of the font is why I couldn't see the text. Agree?

The text of the inline SEO catalog is there, but is not visible. However, it is not because of colour, but rather there is something that covers the content. I'm not sure yet, what exactly causes that, but since it does not influence the work of the usual Ecwid shop, it is not a very serious issue. However, I keep looking into that.

Can you tell me how to do this?

Download this archive: ecwid_catalog_for_custom_php_sites.zip
Extract the files from it and upload them to your server.

When I extract the files there's a folder in a folder and then files and folders in those. Do I pull all the files out of their folders and just upload them to a directory I make up or do I FTP the extracted folder with all the folders in it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, I did this. I added a page to my site called shop.php and followed the steps below, and all I see is the php coding in the area where I had the original integration code.

Any PHP site

(these steps require some PHP knowledge, don't perform then on a live store if you're not sure you can do it)



Download this archive: ecwid_catalog_for_custom_php_sites.zip
Extract the files from it and upload them to your server.
Find a place where you want to have your Ecwid store displayed. Remove the existing integration code.
Add the following code:



include "%PATH%/ecwid_catalog/ecwid_catalog.php";
$params['store_id'] = YOUR_ACTUAL_STORE_ID;
$params['ecwid_show_seo_catalog'] = true;

echo show_ecwid($params);



replace %PATH% with the real path to the extracted "ecwid_catalog" directory. Otherwise an error will be displayed.

Replace YOUR_ACTUAL_STORE_ID with your Store ID. For example:



include "httpdocs/files/ecwid_catalog/ecwid_catalog.php";
$params['store_id'] = 1003;
$params['ecwid_show_seo_catalog'] = true;

echo show_ecwid($params);

Am I supposed to have some sort of php coding at the top of my webpage? I know nothing about PHP.

Hi there, I'm running Ecwid on Joomla 2.5 with the RT Halcyon template. It's looking great. However, I'm not able to see if the Inline SEO Catalog is working or not. (It is turned on within the RokEcwid component in Joomla.) My site goes blank when I turn off javascript. Can someone assist? I'm not savvy enough to do the php stuff above.

Many thanks!

Hi,

I've inspected your site. As far as I can see, inline SEO catalog works properly on your store page. By the way, Google has already indexed your store:
http://goo.gl/W521q

You didn't see the html version of your store when disabling Javascript in your browser because there is a javascript module on your site (I believe it's a part of Halcyon template) that makes the inline SEO catalog invisible. In other words, the inline catalog exists on the page and search engines can index it, but it is hidden when you open it in broswer. The mentioned JS mod makes a slight transition effect when a page loads. It works in this way: the page loads with invisible content and that JS mod fluently makes it visible by changing its transparency. Thus, when JS is disabled in browser, the content stays invisible.

As I mentioned above, the issue doesn't prevent search engines indexing, so it is not crucial. On the other hand, if you want inline catalog to be visible in browser as well, you can add a slight CSS code to your custom css theme. In your case (RokEcwid + Halcyon) it should be as following:

.option-com-rokecwid #rt-transition.rt-hidden {
opacity: 1 !important;
}
