Hi Dave
Hope all is well with you!
Was wondering about non existent product pages, eg. on my site i do not have a product called scooby doo, but if you click the link there is a product page comes up simply saying that the product could no be found, is there anyway i can stop this happening, so that is doesn't make an html page for products not on my database?

Hi David
was wondering when i use the script above it seems to disable /admin/ as well as other sub domains, how would i prevent this happening? (ie just returns a 404 error when i go to /admin/)

Hi Phil,
I see that you have a modification in place also to have the product URLs at the top level, so I actually think this is an issue in .htaccess.
Check that immediately before the product rewrite (which should be at the end of your .htaccess) that you have:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-dThis will make sure that the product rewrite URL does not interfere with any other top level HTML files or directories that already exist... If you're not sure of course; if you could email me your .htaccess I'll check it out for you...
Cheers,
David.
hi david
was wondering, is it possible for this to forward to a "search.php?q=nolongeractiveproduct" page instead of 404 error code?

Hi Phil,
Sure - in place of:
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
exit();...simply use:
header("Location: ".$config_baseHREF."search.php?q=".urlencode($q));
exit();Cheers,
David.
Hello Phil,
Yes - one easy thing you could do is to return 404 (not found) instead of displaying the product not found page. In products.php look for the following code (line 58):
$banner["h2"] .= "(".translate("product not found").")";Replace this with:
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");exit();
Cheers,
David.
