If has static URL, no proddetail display?

Marshall Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1916 Posts	Posted - 09/05/2018 : 08:57:23 I came across this while checking some page updates and found that products that have a static URL will not display on the proddetail.php page using forloveofthehorse[dot]com/proddetail.php?prod=IRRECpkg. Instead, you get a product not currently available message, though you do get the dynamic title. Should not the proddetail.php still work regardless? PHP v6.9.4 And FWIW, the tags in the <head> <?php include "vsadmin/db_conn_open.php" ?> <?php include "vsadmin/inc/languagefile.php" ?> <?php include "vsadmin/includes.php" ?> <?php include "vsadmin/inc/incfunctions.php" ?> <?php include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php" ?> and a little further down <script type="text/javascript" src="2018/js/ectcart.js"></script> Just curious, nothing urgent.

Marshall Ecommerce Template Guru USA 1916 Posts	Posted - 09/05/2018 : 09:26:40 Is there some sort of tag for the includes.php to redirect proddetail.php?product to the static URL? I found this quote: Static page redirection If you are using static pages, an attempt to locate the page on the old dynamic URL will result in an HTTP "301 Moved Permanently" and a redirect to the static page. To enable this feature use the following setting in your vsadmin/includes.php file... $redirecttostatic=TRUE; Please note, to use this you must have output buffering on the products.php and categories.php pages. To do this, simply open these pages in HTML view and right at the top add this line ob_start(); right after the line session_start(); but it does not cover the proddetail page.

I seriously doubt anyone would stumble upon the proddetail page as all of the products have static URLs. That only makes sense to me.
