keep same jump id

Submitted by marco on Mon, 2010-12-06 15:23 in

Hello, The jump id changes with every import. I would like to keep the same jump id after an import.
How can this be achieved? Best Regards, Marco.

Hi Marco,

Because of the way the database is guaranteed to be "up to date" with the latest version of the product feed - e.g. a DELETE then a full INSERT, it's actually a very complex modification to persist the product ID. What I would suggest is making sure that the /jump.php path is excluded in your site's robots.txt file, which should ensure that the path is ignored by search engines...

Cheers,
David.

Hi David,

I am asking for a site that has new produts added several times per hour.
And if users are on a page and want to click trough (but right after a new import) they get redirected to the wrong site.
Is there something modification to prevent this?

Kind Regards, Marco.

Hello Marco,

I understand! I just thought of a better way to do this if that is the situation, and that is that rather than pass an ID to jump.php, instead we pass an encoded merchant and product name, which will therefore always be the same regardless of the ID!

I can do this easily for you - can you email me your:

includes/tapestry.php
jump.php

...and I will do that for you...

Cheers,
David.
