Easiest Suggestions for Biggest Bang

I know cs-cart have a huuuuwge list of suggestions, we all want something that will help us. Here are two suggestions that will help everyone and require very minimal code changes.

Add a “copy link” to the seo.tpl (I have assumed same .tpl is used across products, categories etc.
This will allow us to link our content so much easier, and search engines love linked content!
Slightly harder, add two. One for “copy dispatch link” (so that it works across multiple storefronts, second one “copy canonical link” for those working on content in pages)

Add clear cache button
The back-end update has made this the most frustraing thing, you need to get out of the page you are in to clear the cache. Currently you can no longer work on something, clear the cache, view on the storefront and using the back arrow to keep going. Now there is an extra 3 to 7 clicks every time.

I suspect these two changes would take your @CS-Cart_team experts about 15 minutes each (plus testing), and for your customers 90% of them would have an easier life.

Hi!

The dispatch can be viewed in the Debugger in the Request tab.

That’s really a nice suggestion. I have forwarded it to the developers. Meanwhile you can add the following line:

    fn_clear_template_cache();

after these ones:

} elseif ($mode == 'clear_cache') {

    fn_clear_cache();

in the app/controllers/backend/storage.php file.

Thanks for the tip on the bugger and the code for cache.

Regarding the debugger, per cs-cart recommendation we don’t want to enable debugger in live store. The situation I am thinking is when creating content you link to products or pages and blogs, leveraging the seo.tpl I thought would be least code as possible. Right clicking a product, page or blog from search results or product list/pages list and selecting “copy link” would be the gold standard solution, but having such a button on the product detail tab would be an improvement.

You can add a configuration file with your IP so that you are the only one able to view debug.
