Ssl

[EdHarrison]

I know there were previous arguments against SSL but now Google are giving a ranking boost to sites that are, is there a straightforward way to make a 2014 SD site SSL?

In addition I would like a snippet code to show prices in the search results, seems plenty of other ecomerce software types can do this out the box, I paid a company for this but sadly it never worked, I succeeded but only got ex vat price to show!

Same as a recent thread, I would also like to get rid of acatalog from my URL's, can anyone recommend a good developer or company to quote on these steps?

thank you

Get an SSL certificate from your web host and tick the 'Use SSL' Box in Business settings > Payment and security.

I'll put the bill in the post.

HaHa...I hope its that simple, thank you, seriously I am hosted with Actinic alias Sellerdeck!

Removing the acatalog store folder is tricky, it can be forced via the database / network setup, however the software tries to put the folder back in, see: acatalog

[EdHarrison]

Thank you, I may as well leave the acatalog then, I am still keen to sort the snippet and SSL at least at the checkout.

show prices in the search results

Is it not just a case of going to Settings> Search Settings > Results and ticking the box for Display Options > Price ?

In fact you seem to have it working now. Clearly I'm missing something.

[EdHarrison]

Sorry - yes I am talking about the search results via Google, I had it working with ex vat prices so paid a company to fix it however it was not successful, happy to pay for this code if somebody can do it!

Seems most sites are now displaying this info, sometimes with the star reviews and stock status, just interested in showing prices for browsers who are looking at results without them needing to click through, we are very competitive on price but I believe this would really help.

example:

Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT - blahblahOptics
blahblah.com Telescopes › Beginner Telescopes
Rating: 5 - 2 reviews - £430.00 - In stock
The Celestron Nexstar 127 SLT is a mid-level computerized GoTo telescope with high quality, high contrast Maksutov-Cassegrain optics. Supplied with....

SSL now ordered, still looking for a recommendation for a company / developer for the snippet code.....

[Mike Hughes]

Ed,

This shouldn't be that hard to do.

Copy and paste the code you're using now into this thread and I'm sure we'll find you the solution.

Are you using the 'Standard' VAT rounding in Sellerdeck?

Mike

[EdHarrison]

Standard VAT used, here is the code that should work but didn't show at all in results! Thanks for looking.


<!-- rich snippets BEGIN -->
<div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Product">
<meta itemprop="currency" content="GBP" />
<meta itemprop="price" content="<actinic:variable name="PriceListRetail" value="meta retail price list" />" />
<meta itemprop="brand" content="<actinic:variable name="brand" />" />
<meta itemprop="image" content="<actinic:variable name="CatalogURL" /><actinic:variable name="SectionImageFileName" />" />

<meta itemprop="condition" content="new">

<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<actinic:variable name="ProductName" />" />

<meta property="og:url"
content="<actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" />" />

I might get my terminology all wrong here but ProductListRetail is a layout variable intended for use in product lists.

You should be using TaxInclusivePrice which is defined for use in product layouts and this should be fine here.

Try this

<!-- rich snippets BEGIN -->
<div itemscope itemtype="http://data-vocabulary.org/Product">
<meta itemprop="currency" content="GBP" />
<meta itemprop="price" content="<actinic:variable name="<actinic:variable name="TaxInclusivePrice" />" value="meta retail price list" />" />
<meta itemprop="brand" content="<actinic:variable name="brand" />" />
<meta itemprop="image" content="<actinic:variable name="CatalogURL" /><actinic:variable name="SectionImageFileName" />" />

<meta itemprop="condition" content="new">

<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="og:title" content="<actinic:variable name="ProductName" />" />

<meta property="og:url"
content="<actinic:variable name="SectionPageName" />" />
</div>
<!-- Rich snippets END -->

Thanks Mike,
I assume this code can go anywhere in the product layout.

[Mike Hughes]

Yes, I think so.

I haven't tested it but let me know if you hit a problem.

Mike

[Mike Hughes]

Hi Ed,

If this code is giving you problems then strip it out and I'll test it on a test site to get it working.

Hi Mike - is it a simple matter of adding your snippet code to, say, the product layout "Image on Left Text Wrapped Around"? Or should it go somewhere else entirely?
