[osCommerce] MSU adding weird Session ID number one time

[inveo]

All is done. It was a problem with incorrect calling tep_href_link() function as I expected. Many developers don't know how to use this function properly.
I left the original file on the ftp (www/catalog/includes/modules/product_listing-old.php) so you can compare both new and old files if you are interested what was changed (two tiny changes).

Thanks. I will look at it.

It is still showing a osCsid the first time but now it is correctly formated so it goes to the page. Is it supposed to show the first time?

[inveo]

Sessions IDs (osCsid parameter in URLs) are removed when one of 120 worldwide webcrawlers is detected. Also, if the webcrawler finds a backward link containing Session ID, it is redirected to the non-Session ID version of the URL.

So I'll come back and build on this thread.

Are you saying there is still a problem in:
tep_href_link() function

hence the incorrect session id and then it doens't get take off?

[inveo]

Soe tep_href_link() function arguments used in your MODs are incorrect and therefore generated links are incorrect as well.

[buskerdoo]

We didn't make any mods so I don't really know what to do here.

[inveo]

If I remember correctly, you are using a modified code for categories, files are located in includes directory.

[buskerdoo]

My appolgies. You are correct. Too many projects going at one time.

So, will this change be similar to the one you made in product_listing.php?

Thanks for any and all help. I can't get ahold of my php programer this week so I'm making due with my limited skills.

[inveo]

So, will this change be similar to the one you made in product_listing.php

I think so.

Found it and fixed it. Working perfect now.

And for anyone else reading this thread - it was definitly OUR programming problem and not MSU.

MSU is working perfectly and does exactly what it says it will.
