Thread: Google Base Feed products have HTTPS links

We have recently submitted our Google Base feed and have noticed our products are showing up in Google Base with links starting with HTTPS instead of HTTP.

Is there a way to make it point to HTTP pages instead?

We are currently running AspDotNetStorefront ML 7.0.2.1.

Have you gotten an answer yet? I would like to know how to fix this too.

Me as well.

asking dev to chime in...

I sent you all a PM. Please respond with details being asked for.

Thanks

Hello All,


Xml packages set /root/System/StoreUrl to use HTTPS if it is available.

The google feed xml package makes use of this node when generating the links.

To correct the issue, modify your feed xml package to use the following:


~line 47:

Code:

<link>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('http',substring-after(/root/System/StoreUrl,'https'))" />
</link>

and ~line 82

Code:

<link>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('http',substring-after(/root/System/StoreUrl,'https'))" />
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ProductLink(productid, sename, 0, '')" />
</link>

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!

Hi there,
may I know which file should I implement the following changes to?

Your_admin_directory/XMLPackages/feed.googlebase.xml.config

I am running v8 and am having this same problem. The https appears before each link...the googlebase feed does not look the same as the fix posted earlier.

How would I get around it?

I am also looking to do this in version 8 but in the email to a friend.

I tired to replace the tag with a static value but you ends up with an expected end of statement error for the colon.

Is there an easier way to change this globally than trying to change it here on the notification.emailproduct.xml.config page"

URL: <a href="{$URL}"><xsl:value-of select="$URL" />

Thanks!

If you have a source, there's a way to change that globally via AspDotNetStorefrontCore.XMLPackages2.InitializeSys temData() method without changing that XMLPackage.

From:

Code:

String SURL = AppLogic.GetStoreHTTPLocation(true).ToLowerInvariant();

change it to:

Code:

String SURL = AppLogic.GetStoreHTTPLocation(false).ToLowerInvariant();

Alfred, thanks for the fast response.

Do you know if this will try and redirect to a non secure URL in the cart at all?
I know I read a few other posts and I thought I came across one similar that stated this was causing their customers to be redirected in the cart process when placing orders. Just wanted to double check!

Also, will this solve the issue for everything that us pulling {$URL} like the Google base feed passing secure https links and any other feeds?, because that would be REALLY cool!

Thanks again!

I made the changes that you suggested but it is not working right. Here are my lines in my xml.config file:
<link>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('http',substring-after(/root/System/StoreUrl,'https'))" />
</link>

And

<link>
<xsl:value-of select="concat('http',substring-after(/root/System/StoreUrl,'https'))" />
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ProductLink(ProductID, sename, 0, '')" />
</link>

But the output I get is:
For the first one:
<link>http</link>
And for the second one I get:
<link>httpp-53-gojo-tfx-1200-ml-touch-free-dispenser.aspx</link>

What am I doing wrong? Thanks
