Ok, thank you.

[dewaalman]

..or am I missing something? Is this not what the plugin is meant to be doing?

[dewaalman]

I would like to know how WCfM tracks external links and whether I need to add some kind of string to the URL, or Analytics code to pages or use cookies in order to show to the affiliate when sales have originated from my site. How does one track the user’s behavior from my site up to the point where they make a purchase on the vendor’s site?

Ok, could you please tell me what I need to do in order to achieve this?

[dewaalman]

Excellent, thank you very much.

Please respond to the above questions, or let me know whether I need to upgrade to Ultimate to get better support.

Why is there no permastructure for vendor name or vendor id?
I’ve found the following by testing out a plugin called Permalink Manager Lite:
%wcfm_knowledgebase%, %wcfm_notice%, %wcfm_memberships% .. but nothing to add a vendor identifier to a product’s url.
How do multi vendor shops usually differentiate products with the same name, or if ‘single product multi vendor’ is enabled, how does one create meaningful urls?

Please help!

Hi again

Back to this previous question, and the reply I got:

I’m building a multivendor store where vendors will most probably have products with the same name. For this reason, I would like to have the vendor store name in the permalink so that identical products won’t have a number added to their url. Products are added to four categories, so at the moment the structure is /category/product. I would like it to be /category/vendor/product, or /vendor/category/product would be fine too.

– We have to check this whether this will support by WordPress or not!

– Is there no suggestion you could make to help me differentiate between products with the same name, other than WordPress’ default ‘/product-2’ addition to the url?
– Should I use an SKU and make that part of the url?

Lastly, how do I temporarily disable vendor registration? I would like to hide the ‘Become a Vendor’ link without hiding it in the css.

[dewaalman]

To clarify – I do want ‘Sold by’ to be visible on the product page, but not on the listing page, where my theme shows it in the short description.

..and one more: How do I disable the site menu in the vendor dashboard? I only want the site logo and the dashboard to be visible.

[dewaalman]

The theme I’m using is Woodstock by Themash Design.

Where do I add that add_filter line?

The permalink thing is an issue for me at the moment. I have searched for a long time trying to figure out what I can do but there are no answers. Have other users not had this problem when enabling ‘single product multiple seller’? What happens to the url when a second vendor adds the same product with the same name?

Thank you very much for your reply.

`
About #1 above:
I would very much like to find a way before I add more products and vendors. Is there no way to set it in WCfM? If not /vendor-name/ then maybe as a code/number in the url for each vendor? If WordPress doesn’t currently support it then it might take a long time before they do.

`
About #3 above:
Should I wait for this to be addressed by your developers, or is it not something that will be addressed soon? I would like to change the font size of it too. The quickest solution might be to change its position in the php file (for product listings), but I’m not sure where or how.

– When I remove the ‘Store default logo’ image, it still shows up in the short description as well as on the product page.

`
I would like to find out what the time frame might be before these issues might be solved. Are they issues that might be addressed by your developers in the near future, or are they not a priority for you right now? If they are not common issues then I would have to change my plans.

Thanks again
DW
