Demo Update

We just wanted to post a quick update on the demo status. We had reports of a bug on the Mosets Tree Pro Search release soon after the rollout. Customers were reporting they would click on the links on the search results but the pages would not open. This only happened on a subset of the full customer base.

 

We have finally tracked down this bug. It is an issue with the Mosets Tree SEF and not the ZCS Search Component.

 

If you have multiple links with the exact same name you cannot use the default SEF method "Alias" links under Mosets Tree > Configuration > SEF URLs. You must select "Link ID" for the SEF method. Alias uses the link name in the SEF URL. If two listings have identical names then Mosets Tree doesn't know which link to display as the URLs for two different links are identical.

 

For example here are the SEF URLs for two listings on our demo site:

http://www.zipcodeshop.com/demo/Mosets_Tree_Demo/mosets-tree-directory/ruby-tuesday/32439

http://www.zipcodeshop.com/demo/Mosets_Tree_Demo/mosets-tree-directory/ruby-tuesday/32438

 

with Alias set as the SEF method instead of Link ID, both URLs are:

http://www.zipcodeshop.com/demo/Mosets_Tree_Demo/mosets-tree-directory/ruby-tuesday/ruby-tuesday

 

When you click on this link, Mosets Tree just shows the link list and not the individual listing.

 

We have updated our customers this morning with this information and we are updating all of our documentation. Now that we are confident this is not a bug, we will be publishing the demos today.
