Marketplaces - Google Shopping links are bad

[lesliekirk]

It looks like the Marketplaces - Google Shopping feed links may have the same issue as trying to create the Marketing Feeds sitemap. If a store is not using the URI Management links styles (in this case it's using the Legacy SEO Settings) it's leaving out the Store Code in URL.

Any chance of this getting fixed before 9.7 comes out?

I have a question - can an htaccess redirect be used as a temporary fix for this? Since my htaccess foo is not strong, what would be the best redirect for

Bad generated URI: http://www.domain.com/page/PROD/product_code (missing the "s" and the store code)


Correctly formatted URI: https://www.domain.com/page/C/PROD/product_code

I think this should "fix" the bad links and the Fatal Error being caused by them

I have confirmation this will be fixed in 9.67 (likely this week).

THANK YOU!!!!

FYI - I've asked support if there might be a temporary work around using an .htaccess redirect until this is fixed.

For this particular store, are you wanting any link that has /page/PROD/ to have that turned into /page/C/PROD/ ?

Yes, please.

I also notice that the links are not https even the store is configured for all https. Will the force https "fix" that?

[ILoveHostasaurus]

I'd use this to force https:

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.domain.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

and this for the store code issue:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/page/PROD(.*)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.domain.com/page/C/PROD/%1 [R=301,L]

Both of these should come at the very top; the PROD one first since it's going to fix the https anyway, and then the other. They have to come before the rewrites that make the short links work so the url redirect happens before it's processed behind the scenes.

Looks like it's working. Now to see if it will make Google Marketing happy. THANKS!
